The main viewpoints of pragmatic pedagogy
1, education is life, and the process of education and the process of life are integrated, rather than preparing for a certain life in the future.

2, education is the growth of personal experience, education is to let students grow their own experience in real situations, which is the ultimate goal of education.

3. Education is growth, which is the growth process of personal experience. The reason is that school is a primary society, and students' learning in school is actually a process of growing up in society.

4. The school curriculum centers on students' experience, breaking the original subject-centered curriculum system.

5. Teachers are no longer the center of education and teaching. Teachers are only the helpers of students' growth, and students are the center of education and teaching.

6. In the process of education and teaching, we should attach importance to children's creativity and advocate children's independent exploration and discovery in the process of learning.

Extended data:

Pragmatism education is a modern western pedagogy that respects subjective experience, pays attention to coping with living environment and emphasizes the practical effect of action. It was formed in the United States at the end of19th century and can be said to be a "specialty" of the United States.

It became popular at the beginning of the twentieth century, and its influence is quite extensive so far. People have different opinions on its evaluation. Marxism believes that the emergence of any kind of thought is closely related to the political and economic aspects of society under specific historical conditions.

Therefore, when evaluating a trend of thought, including Dewey's pragmatism pedagogy, we can't ignore the principle that theoretical analysis is highly closely integrated with its times-the practice of a specific era and its actual activities in a specific era-so it is undoubtedly one-sided to search for chapters and sentences and make them authoritative to the absolute level.
