John Dewey (1859-1952), educator and philosopher: Articles

In an effort to be good critical thinkers, here are a few articles (not necessarily in MLA format!) to compare with Dewey's writings that we also considered and discussed in the seminar:

• Eageton, Terry, 2010   "Reappraisals: what is the worth of social democracy?" Harper's Magazine, October 2010: 77-80. [also available through the CCP Library's databases, http://library.ccp.edu or via MyCCP]

• Journey to Excellence: socratic seminars 

• Clifford: Making Reflective Judgments [click on PDF below]

• John Dewey: Father of Modern Education  [an anti-Dewey diatribe]

• A New Culture of Learning: John Dewey Meets the Internet [click on PDF below]
