Dewey's Democracy and Education

Dewey's "Democracy and Education" emphasizes that education and democracy are closely connected. He believes that schools should not just transmit facts, but nurture critical thinking, collaboration, and active participation, preparing students to contribute meaningfully to a democratic society. Dewey sees education as a continuous process that adapts to real-life experiences, encouraging learners to develop problem-solving skills and social responsibility. By fostering an environment of shared learning and respect, education helps individuals become autonomous yet cooperative citizens, strengthening the democratic fabric of society.
