What is Dewey's educational thought?
Dewey's masterpiece is Democracy and Education, which is the representative of pragmatic pedagogy.

His educational thoughts mainly include:

Education is life.

Education is growth.

Education is experience.

Take the student as the center

When Dewey is mentioned, Herbart has to be mentioned. Dewey and Herbart are two masters in the field of education, representing the traditional school and the innovative school respectively.

Dewey's pragmatic education thought attaches importance to students, takes students as the center, attaches importance to students' needs and experiences, and promotes the progress of pedagogy.

However, he put too much emphasis on students' experience and needs, too much emphasis on students' center, and neglected the study of systematic knowledge and the leading role of teachers.

Hope to adopt!
