Dewey, the founder of pragmatic pedagogy, summarized the essence of education as "education is life", "education is growth" and "education is the transformation and reorganization of experience", and formed a teaching thought with children as the center, activity courses and learning by doing.

Children's center

Dewey's educational thought takes children as the center, and pays attention to exploring children's potential and personality, so that children can learn and explore independently in a free and open environment.

Activity course

Dewey's educational thought emphasizes the initiative and practicality of learning, and advocates promoting students' learning and growth through activity courses.

Learning by practice

Dewey's educational thought holds that students should learn through practice and experience, not just acquire knowledge and skills through book knowledge.
