Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:These two short, influential books, which grew out of Dewey’s hands-on experience in administering the laboratory school at the University of Chicago, represent the earliest authoritative statement of his revolutionary emphasis on education as an experimental, child-centered process. In The School and Society, he declares that we must “make each one of our schools an embryonic community life, active with types of occupations that reflect the life of the larger society and permeated with the spirit of art, history, and science.” In The Child and the Curriculum he stresses the importance of the curriculum as a means of determining the environment of the child, and allowing the teacher to guide children in asserting themselves, exercising their capacities, and fulfilling their own nature. 4 halftones and 4 charts. Book News Annotation:<:st> America's arch-philosopher of education wrote these short
pieces out of his experience with Chicago's laboratory school which
he started in 1896. Dewey's first piece (1915) argues for making the
school into a microsociety of the larger one, while in the second
(1902) he seeks a curriculum acting as a kind of program for teachers
to follow. Teachers can then guide children toward enough
self-confidence to be assertive and exercise their capacities. Cited
