Participate in social practice activities. Learning by doing is the basic principle of Dewey's whole teaching theory. Dewey believes that all learning is a by-product of action, so teachers should "do" to make students think and learn knowledge. Dewey integrated learning by doing into all major aspects of teaching, such as teaching process, curriculum, teaching methods and teaching organization forms.
It not only shaped modern American education, but also influenced activity courses and activities teaching all over the world.
Dewey's educational philosophy;
Dewey clearly pointed out in his famous educational book Democracy and Education that "the purpose of education is to enable individuals to continue their education, not to seek other purposes outside the educational process, so that education becomes an accessory to such other purposes." This "teleology" really makes people dare not accept it easily.
It must be remembered that the education he said here is inseparable from the democratic society he pursues in his mind. For him, especially in the social environment at that time, he embodied an American spirit-personal development itself is the ultimate goal.
