John Dewey’s Experience and Education: A Reader’s Guide by Leonard J. Waks (PDF)

John Dewey is often considered the father of Progressive Education.

In Experience and Education he outlined a theory of experience to guide educators developing alternatives to traditional schools. The important book is built upon the ideas in his later philosophical works. This Reader’s Guide helps readers unfamiliar with his philosophy grasp the deep insights of this influential work.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Nice short summaries of historical, social contexts of learning, and the scientific habits of mind Dewey recommends as the essential tool available to both teachers and students. Makes the important ideas of Dewey useful and functional. Pragmatic”

⭐Len Waks adds greatly to this late work by Dewey. Waks illustrates the main points with ready examples. He reminds the reader that Dennis Littky used Dewey’s volume to chart one school’s vast improvement. Highly recommended.

⭐Dewey can be complex. This book gives a detailed explanation of Dewey’s philosophy of experience and education – a major part of Dewey’s philosophy. It helped a person with little philosophical understanding to grasp the ideas needed to understand “experience”.
