Democracy and Education: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Education by John Dewey

5.0

5 stars DESPITE the massive blind spot he has to his ethnocentric views on “savages” that reinforce a linear, hierarchical view of social development and posits capitalist values at the center of complex advancement.

Brilliant views on schools having a fundamental role in increasing equity & justice. Dewey’s ideas about PBL and collaboration are not always well-executed, but it would be nice if more people aligned themselves to his ideal of active knowledge construction, with the students as producers.
