Journal 10 - John Dewey – a brilliant American educator


In Poland, my native country, John Dewey is the most famous an American educator. All students who want to be teachers know that J. Dewey was a father of progressive education.
Only in the USA, I have had opportunity to keep in my hands his main works issued, of course, in the English language. Dewey’s educational philosophy was created in the beginning twentieth century, and cannot exist in its pure issue in the USA, right now. However, I consider that “Dewey’s spirit” still predominates in American schools.
Very interesting is Dewey’s impression from his trip to the Soviet Union in 1928. It can be an interesting topic for presentation.
