Description and Table of Contents

Description

Dewey had a huge influence on the theory and practice of education in America, one that continues to be felt today. He believed that schools should change from places where children's heads were stuffed with facts to environments where children were encouraged to think for themselves. Reprinted here are three of his most important books on education, along with a selection of reviews from contemporary journals.
