PRAGMATISM

• An extension of positivism and has a functionalist feature

• It regards only what is beneficial to man

• The only truth is the fact that works in the field of application

• Pragmatic education accepts the whole life of the child and sees education not as a preparation for life but as life itself.

“ As a scientific method used by mankind to study the world and obtain increasing knowledge of meanings and values “

-- (JOHN DEWEY’S CONCEPT OF EDUCATION, 2011)

BASIC PRINCIPLES OF EDUCATION

• The thought of the expression and development of individuality,
• Freedom of movement,
• Learning through experiences,
• In achieving the goals; learning abstracted skills and techniques as a tool,
• The idea of making the most of the possibilities offered by daily life,
• The idea of following the changes in the world against stationary goals and equipment

JOHN DEWEY AND INDIVIDUAL

VS

JOHN DEWEY AND EXPERIENCES

JOHN DEWEY AND SOCIETY

• Dewey argues that educational goals can be achieved through experiences
• Experience has two phases; active and passive- the connection of these two phases of experience measures the fruitfulness or value of the experience

• Dewey redefined Education as “continuous restructuring of experiences and later expanded its definition as a process of “development within, by, and for experience”

• Society is as the sum of people who stand together and cling to each other because they work on common lines, with a common spirit and towards common goals.

• According to Westbrook (1993), there is what Dewey calls a job at the center of the Dewey school curriculum, which is a form of the activities of the child who imitates or imitates some of the work accepted in social life

DEWEY’S CURRICULUM

According to Westbrook (1993), Dewey’s curriculum is based on human lives, and therefore the curriculum should be designed to encourage the child’s immature lives in children’s activities. Dewey’s view of the curriculum is based on three fundamentals. These fundamentals are the scientific and pragmatic reality in which the content is determined, the scientific and dialectical method that creates the process, and the ethical ideals of human beings, social integrity, human life and democracy, which are determined as goals.

DEWEY’S CURRICULUM

Curriculums, accordingly, what can be done and how can it be done to make the school more closely related to home and neighborhood life rather than being a place where the child only comes for certain subjects

The source of these three foundations includes changes and developments in the subject areas that affect society, the individual at the center of the society, and everyday life in all areas

The child is not isolated and living in itself, but lives in the world of nature and people

Dewey takes the society together with the individual as a resource

The society should be in contact with the subject area
