ABSTRACT

Since the 20th century, and especially since 1960, countries around the world have paid increasing attention to the place of education in society, and have also discovered the role of education in human development. Dewey's view of education as life, education as growth, and education as the continuous transformation of experience is different from the educational doctrines of previous educators. He demanded that the curriculum be connected to life, learning by doing, learning from experience, and that students master the scientific method of thinking. As the most influential educator in the history of education, Dewey laid the foundation for modern educational theory, and the current American open-ended approach to teaching is a product of Dewey's educational theory.

KEYWORDS
