Experience & Education is a book written in 1938 by John Dewey, a pre-eminent educational theorist of the 20th century, that provides a concise and powerful analysis of education. emphasizing experience, experiment, purposeful learning, freedom, and other concepts of progressive education.
Summary
Dewey was critical of both a traditional and progressive educational philosophy; that is he saw challenges with both systems. Dewey's progressive learning theory is based on the idea that people, even young people, are not just blank slates waiting to be filled with knowledge from kinder though college. Instead, Dewey suggested that students organize fact based comprehension through meta-cognition, or by building onto prior experiences, preconceptions, and knowledge and therefore, educator's role is in creating an educative experience.
