In this lesson, you explore John Dewey’s major contributions to education. As you work through the materials, you will gain a critical perspective on traditional schooling and see that Dewey’s approach was not a radical fad. Further, you will also see that the essence of educational practice that is in harmony with a constructivist approach, involves active, critical enquiry, and is based on the student’s experience, rather than strict obedience and memorisation.
