Democracy And Education :: John Dewey [DIRECT]

John Dewey’s 1916 work, Democracy and Education , defines education as a social process of growth, positioning schools as essential hubs for democratic participation rather than mere preparation for future life. The philosophy emphasizes experiential, "learning by doing" approaches and the school as a micro-democracy to foster critical thinking over rote obedience.
