The child lives in a somewhat narrow world of personal contacts. Things hardly come within his experience unless they touch, intimately and obviously, his own well-being, or that of his family and friends. His world is a world of persons with their personal interests, rather than a realm of facts and laws. Not truth, in the sense of conformity to external fact, but affection and sympathy, is its keynote. As against this, the course of study met in the school presents material stretching back indefinitely in time, and extending outward indefinitely into space. The child is taken out of his familiar physical environment, hardly more than a square mile or so in area, into the wide world—yes, and even to the bounds of the solar system.

كتاب جيد وأفكار مستنيرة ومتميزة, وفي نفس الوقت ترجمة ضحلة وتنم عن جهل لغوي وفقر فكري للمترجم (ألأذي يفترض فيه التخصص)
الكاتب (جون ديوي) صاحب البصمة الواضحة في تطوير التعليم , يناقش فكرة مهمة جدا وهي أن التعلم لا يجب أبدا أن يكون شيء معزول ومنفصل عن الحياة, وأن من الأسباب الرئيسية لمشاكل المدرسة وعدم

In this book Dewey applies his philosophy of "How We Think" (A worthwhile, if hard read) to the classroom. While his theory is solid, his application is rather poor.
Dewey wants students to connect what they are learning to their everyday lives, which is a great goal. But the way he seeks to accompli

Although written at the turn of the century, there are a lot of great (and practical) ideas about education in here. Anticipate that some of it will be ���dated,��� but also that you���ll wonder why the insights here are not employed more often in modern teaching and administration.

This was really, really good and I would recommend it to anyone who teaches at any level. Some previous reader of the library copy had written 'YES!' in the margins next to all the best passages, and I very much agree. Also just leaving a note for myself to come back to the chapter about how the dif

I really enjoyed reading this book. I strongly believe in Progressivism and believe that more hands on learning needs to be incorporated into the modern classroom. John Dewey's ideas are very sound and should be explored in depth once again.

الكتاب فيه أفكار جيدة جدا ولكن التقييم على الترجمة ، بشعة ّ!
