John Dewey and the Challenge of Classroom Practice

Author(s): Stephen M. Fishman, Lucille McCarthy

Using accessible language, Fishman discusses Dewey's educational theory in the context of Dewey's ideology and process philosophy and then examines his own Introduction to Philosophy class with composition specialist Lucille McCarthy. The authors model a collaborative form of practitioner inquiry and bring to life such complex Deweyan concepts as student-curriculum integration, interest and effort, and continuity and interaction.
