What is the essential difference between Dewey's "progressive education" and "traditional education"?
Dewey's educational thought is an educational idea put forward by john dewey, which is different from the old three-center theory of traditional education, such as classroom center, teaching material center and teacher center. He put forward the new three-center theory of children center (student center), activity center and experience center.
(1) Education means "life", "growth" and "experience transformation": education can convey the accumulated experience of human beings, enrich the content of human experience, and enhance the ability of experience to guide life and adapt to society, thus maintaining and developing social life. Broadly speaking, it is the education that individuals contact and interact with others in social life, gradually expand and improve their own experience, develop moral quality and acquire knowledge and skills. Because transforming experience must be closely combined with life and transforming experience can promote personal growth, Dewey summed up "education is life", "education is growth" and "education is experience transformation".
(2) Aimlessness of education: In Dewey's mind, in an undemocratic and unequal society, education is only the purpose imposed on the educated by external forces. A democratic society is different. We should pursue the theory of aimlessness. In fact, in the era of class struggle and proletarian revolution, Dewey emphasized the effectiveness of education in improving society, and the class nature of Dewey's teleology of education was obvious.
(3) "School is society": Dewey believes that people's participation in real life in society is a proper way for physical and mental growth and experience transformation. Therefore, teachers should turn the classroom of imparting knowledge into a paradise for children's activities, guide children to actively participate in activities, unconsciously develop moral character and acquire knowledge in activities, and realize the transformation of life, growth and experience.
