Principle of education of social reconstructionists and criticism theorists: scale of democracy

All the authors I met did not counter the distortion due to Dewey of the child-centered experimental learning principle, but there is controversy about the exact role of Dewey in the wave of social reconstruction. C. A. Bowers (1969) differs from Kremin or Kliebard in that society's re-establishment rule dominates the progressive movement through increasingly radical agenda against American culture and society. Bowers believes that Dewey not only provides a foundation but also supplies exercise The principle is democracy in education - elimination of value that is incompatible with the value of cooperation and collective social responsibility. Dewey believes in the ability to build their social value using teacher's wisdom and critical judgment, allowing teachers and schools to prepare students for social reconstruction.

Background and Progress of Progressive Educational Reform in the Half Century

William Stanley (1992) argued that Dewey could not be a social rebuilder, strongly opposed Bowes and regarded the contempt of Dewey et al.'S educational concept as a doctrine of social value restructuring. Stanley calls on Dewey's position in social reform education to address the attitudes, habits and important processes necessary to develop students' alternative proposals, build discussions, and make smart choices as wise and responsible citizens It is defined as. Are there distortions in the application of Dewey's ideas to social reconstructors like Counts, Rugg, Brameld? The two authors agree, but the degree of their distortion will cause classification of Dewey as a fundamental social rebuilder, and Stanley denies this possibility.

Background and Progress of Progressive Educational Reform in the Half Century

In "Democracy and Education" (1916), John Dewey proposed a discussion based on the educational philosophy of individual growth and development in complex social relations of effective democracy. Among this groundbreaking text, Dewey has established itself as the leading philosopher of education in the longstanding tradition of pragmatism. After more than 20 years, he reexamined the problem of human ideal education through experience and education (1938/1963). Here he talks about interpretation, distortion and criticism of his original philosophy, and many challenges to its realization.
