Dewey and Education in the 21st Century: Fighting Back by Ruth Heilbronn, Christine Doddington, Rupert Higham
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.0 MB
Overview: This book makes a strong case for the abiding relevance of Dewey’s notion of learning through experience, with a community of others and what this implies for democratic education in the 21st century.
Its first section addresses the experience of today’s generation of so-called ‘digital natives’ in terms of how we should now understand ‘knowledge’ and how their online experience creates opportunities and challenges for the curriculum, such as schools linking internationally to study classical texts; an exposition of why makerspaces, hackerspaces and Fab Labs might support Dewey’s democratic communities in our time, with on-line affordances of ‘a commons’, a space to use imagination and invent and share with others.
Genre: Non-Fiction > Educational
