Dewey's theory is the representative of modern education theory, which is different from the old three-center theory of traditional education classroom center, teaching material center and teacher center. He put forward the new three-center theory of children's center (student center), activity center and experience center.
Personal idea
philosophic thinking
Dewey's works show the fact that he is a scholar devoted to writing. When he was studying in university of vermont, he showed that he was a good student who devoted himself to it. But he is not good at words and sharp in writing, and he is not a person who expresses his views with thoughts. His works are not easily understood at once.
Dewey inherited some of Hegel's thoughts in his early philosophical views, but due to the influence of biology and biological evolution theory on his early thoughts, in his paper "From absolutism to experimentalism", he has anatomically described the ins and outs of his ideological transformation and explained why he abandoned the absolutism of Hegelian school in Germany in the19th century.
In Dewey's philosophy, he does not agree that the concept is a fixed static statement; The concept itself is not absolute. Dewey regards the concept as an easy, dynamic and instrumental guiding function, which makes us more adaptable to the external environment.
