Pragmatic pedagogy is one of the important representatives of modern pedagogy schools. Dewey and Ke Qubo are representatives of pragmatic pedagogy. They advocate that education is life and school is society, and emphasize the combination of education and practice, as well as students' initiative and personality. This paper will discuss the core viewpoints of pragmatic pedagogy in depth to help readers better understand this educational theory.

School is society.

Pragmatic pedagogy advocates that schools are society and schools should be the epitome of society. Students should learn how to adapt to society and how to cooperate with others in school.

Learning comes from practice.

Pragmatic pedagogy advocates that learning should come from practice and emphasizes students' practical ability and experience. Students should master knowledge and skills through practice in order to better adapt to society.

Take the student as the center

Pragmatic pedagogy advocates student-centered, and holds that education should be centered on students' needs and interests. Curriculum organization should also pay attention to students' experience and interest, so that students can better participate in learning.

Education is life.

Pragmatic pedagogy advocates that education is life, and education should be close to and combined with life. Education should not be an abstract theory, but a practical activity closely related to students' lives.

Students' initiative and personality

Pragmatic pedagogy advocates students' initiative and individuality, and thinks that students should be the main body of learning, not the object of passively accepting knowledge. Education should respect students' individuality and let students give full play to their own specialties and advantages in their studies.
