The School and Society & the Child and the Curriculum -- John Dewey

These two short, influential books represent the earliest authoritative statement of Dewey's revolutionary emphasis on education as an experimental, child-centered process. He declares that we must make schools an embryonic community life and stresses the importance of the curriculum as a means of determining the environment of the child. 4 halftones and 4 charts.<br><br><b>Author:</b> John Dewey<br><b>Publisher:</b> Dover Publications<br><b>Published:</b> 07/18/2001<br><b>Pages:</b> 128<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.31lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.54h x 5.50w x 0.26d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780486419541<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Reference and Research Bk News</i> 11/01/2001 pg. 181<p></p>
