Advancing The Ideas Of John Dewey: A Look At The High Tech Schools, Jennifer R. Pieratt

Education and Culture

Over the course of the past 100 years the work of John Dewey has been studied by philosophers, educators and politicians. He has been hailed by some and blamed by others for the evolution of educational reform in America. His influences can still be seen in schools today ranging from Progressive approaches to Child-centered Curriculum to Project-Based Learning. While Dewey offered many philosophies about education, he rarely suggested methods for implementation. The High Tech schools in San Diego, California approached this challenge left behind by Dewey in the design of their schools. This article will address the theories of Dewey …

A Model Of Dewey’S Moral Imagination For Service Learning: Theoretical Explorations And Implications For Practice In Higher Education, Zhuran You, A. G. Rud

Education and Culture

Abstract: While John Dewey’s learning theory has been widely credited as the essential theoretical underpinnings of service-learning, lesser attention has been paid to his concept of moral imagination regarding its immense potentials in nurturing college students’ moral growth in service-learning. This article explores Dewey’s framework of moral imagination and its implications for moral education in college service-learning programs to construct a moral imagination model that could enrich current service-learning theory and practice. The key components and structure of the model are delineated in details and the relevant examples of moral imagination in service-learning are also discussed.

John Dewey On History Education And The Historical Method, Thomas D. Fallace

Education and Culture

This essay constructs a comprehensive view of Dewey’s approach to history, the historical method, and history education. Drawing on Dewey’s approach to the subject at the University of Chicago Laboratory School (1896-1904), Dewey's chapter on the historical method in Logic: A Theory of Inquiry (1938), and a critique of Dewey’s philosophy of history that appeared in the American Historical Review and the published response to this attack by Dewey’s colleagues (1954), the author argues that Dewey consistently approached history in genetic and historicist terms.

Dewey's Challenge To Teachers, Stephen M. Fishman, Lucille Mccarthy

Education and Culture

Given the serious social problems confronting Americans and others world-wide, the authors propose that Dewey's 1932 challenge to teachers is worthy of reconsideration by educators at all levels. In times similar to our own, Dewey challenged teachers to cultivate students' capacities to identify their happiness with what they can do to improve the conditions of others. At first glance, his challenge seems utopian. In order to justify their proposal for re-consideration, the authors explicate Dewey’s challenge by discussing two aspects of the thinking that lies behind it. These are (1) Dewey’s concept of ethical love and his argument that it …

What Water Works For Swosu?, Whitney Sawatzky, Christy Sterba, Lauren Hudson, Lisa Appeddu

Student Research

Bottled water has become a staple of our fast paced lives. Between 2000 to 2008, the sales of bottled water in the United States doubled from $6.1 to $12.6 billion (“Bottled Water,” 2008). One of the major reasons that bottled water drinkers give for their preference is convenience. Alternatively, critics assert that bottled water hurts the environment, is overpriced, and is no safer than tap water. This raises the question: does taste or other less physiological factors such as cost and availability affect what water people choose to drink? A study conducted at University of Applied Sciences Hamburg sampled females …
