As he put it: “ Education is not preparation for life education is life itself.”Īccording to Dewey, democracy and education are two sides of the same coin. Education is a lifelong process on which our democracy is built. According to Dewey teaching and learning, education and discipline are closely connected to community – the social life. However, Dewey’s pedagogical philosophy is not just about learning by doing. In Denmark, his way of thinking inspired the school system to such a degree that Denmark has been called Dewey’s second home country.įurthermore, Dewey was sought after in countries like China and Soviet where he was used as a pedagogical consultant. This idea has had a huge impact, especially among teachers in the USA. One of Dewey’s ideas about teaching and learning is that practical problem solving and theoretical teaching should go hand in hand.
