There are only a few ideas that had as much of an impact on education as those of John Dewey. The American philosopher, psychologist and educator believed children to be active contributors and agents of their learning, and not just passive recipients of knowledge of previous generations. He believed that for knowledge to be acquired successfully, learning should be an experience. His Experiential Learning approach was based on four core principles. To find out what these are and how it works in real life, watch our video. Enjoy the sound effects with headphones on! 😊 🎧 #learn #dewey #theory

While working on my Masters in Education, one faculty member told me that in his opinion, our schools were designed to babysit our kids so the parents can work.

@richardblankenship5481 2 года назад

I homeschooled my 7 children. We rarely worked more than 2 hours per day and we only schooled about 6 months/year on average. All are or will be college educated and will have become so without a single penny of debt. While in college, two of them have gotten jobs as tutors in a vain attempt to bring all the pitifully educated public school students up to speed. On girl of note was so uneducated that she literally didn’t know how to spell her own name. One of my daughters is currently the math tutor at our local junior college and she finds herself teaching long division to people trying to take college algebra. So yeah, for a huge number of students, public school is purely government funded daycare. For no less than 80% of students, we could graduate them somewhere between the 5th and 8th grades and lose nothing of value. In fact, if they were to get jobs they could actually contribute something substantial to the communities in which they live instead of sitting in “pre-jail” for 8 hours/day doing absolutely nothing except sucking up tax dollars as useless eaters.

@@richardblankenship5481 Thanks for mentioning time; I've always wondered that especially in light of the amount of time I saw wasted at school (as a teacher 20 yrs). I always wondered how the economics of a private tutor should work, and I'd have to say pretty well. My private school charges $275/day so starting from there the math looks good. Even at $80/hr a tutor could teach groups of 3 twice a day for 2 hrs and make a fine salary; this at a per diem cost of a lot of public schools.

@@richardblankenship5481 We homeschooled our kids, which meant the education never took a winter, spring, or summer break, kind of like life. But we spent maybe an hour a day on one-on-one academics, and the rest was pretty much on auto-pilot. 20 years later, and it was the best decision we made. All the kids are inquiring individuals always ready to investigate and debate, successful in their careers, and immunized to fallacies. What else can a parent hope for? Now they are doing the same with the grand-kids.

I recently left the classroom as an English teacher because 1) the instructional emphasis was on SAT prep 2) the school mission was rooted in platitudes and slogans that didn't align with true learning 3) teachers' jobs were inflated (calling parents daily, monitoring piles of data, policing corridors, etc.) while doing so at the same / lower salaries 4) students weren't required to actually read books or write papers. None of what Dewey envisioned was implemented. Students were seemingly being prepared to become "cogs" in the American industrial wheel; they were encouraged to go to college in order to find a job.

Uniforms are super cool, you don't have to think too much about dressing up, yet everyone has their unique touch to thy self. Everyone feels part of a pattern, group, in for what matters most.

@jonnyguydenton 2 года назад

Uniform can help less affluent student, whose limited in clothing choice, to blend in. It also involves enforcement of nitty-gritty rules such as length of hems, etc, etc. So on one hand it's a training for being responsible for you public appearance. Ideal is making informed choices, you learn to dress formal, as well as express yourself in casual smart, then choose the one more appropriate to your current situation. Uniforms, sadly, are corporate branding. No denying on modern education systems are commercialized. Any incident in public places, first question heard is more "Are they in school unforms?" than "Are the students hurt?".

I completely agree I went most my life to a British school and while we knew who was less well off by shoes, it was no where near the drama I saw in American high schools where cliques were so ingrained into how friendships were made divisively, not to mention by class lines. There was an enormous unity where I saw uniforms at play and more focus into learning. I wish we did it here

@eliseson00 3 года назад

among dozens of teachers only three have ever allowed us to discuss their subject and come up with new ideas, use our imagination and speak ourselves. others shut us up and neglected our opinions, saying we were too stupid or too lazy or other stuff. if we DID give out opinions, some of them even laughed at us and later used it against us in offensive jokes. so yeah, basically, 11 years of school was a hell for me and I'm glad I'm graduating this year

This video is amazing, it summarizes correctly Dewey's thoughts about education, it is a bittersweet feeling because many agree with his theory of learning while others do not, in my personal opinion for me since I was a child it has always been easier to learn with the practice of education than reading for hours thousands of pages, but it is true that not everything can be like that.

@Wintersghost135 3 года назад

I developed an interest in educational philosophy after reading “Understanding Poverty”, although I know some educators aren’t fans of it. Just found your channel and lovin it! I saw a video of scientists being interviewed about their experiences with religion. Many became atheists or agnostics due to the rigidity of thought in the religions with which they were raised (some catholic). One scientist gave a pithy statement: “It’s better to have questions you can’t answer instead of answers you can’t question”. Dewey sounds like a very wise person, encouraging curiosity and questioning everything.

@Wintersghost135 2 года назад

No linkage, only interest. Like the video described, here’s an interdisciplinary approach including statistics, neuroanatomy, sociology, and education. The book differentiates generational poverty from situational poverty. Keeping in mind that nature isn’t typically observed in absolutes - only bell curves described in standard deviations of probability so there’s always exceptions. Generational poverty is commonly thought of as a monetary problem. But the book points out many of the social ills of generational poverty are from poor decisions as opposed to lack of money. These bad decisions are passed from one generation to the next - making it generational. While being in possession of less money, this money is ironically more likely to be spent on unnecessary or harmful things including tobacco, alcohol, illegal drugs and tattoos instead of the most necessary things for survival. This is well known but not often discussed - which doesn’t help the problem. Decisions are made more with the amygdala / limbic system instead of the prefrontal cortex - meaning more decisions are made based on emotions instead of on reasoning. Thus, there’s more abuse, violence and crime - decisions that are harmful to oneself and others. This must be considered in the education of a child that can’t concentrate in school because their home life is in shambles. Whilst a college educated person may fall upon hard times (called situational poverty) they will have a lifetime of making fairly good decisions - studying hard, working hard, being responsible. It would be unusual for this type of person to purposely try to cause harm themselves or others. I was fascinated to hear how some groups such as priests and nuns may live near the poverty level but don’t have these problems showing that many problems with generational poverty have very little to do with money.

I've heard the old saying, learning at youth like carving in the stone while learning at older age is like writing in the water. Children are fast memorizing and imitating they are not best at comprehension generally speaking. While adult is quick in comprehension. Trying to get a discussion going between teenager age 12 - 15 is way harder than one might even think.

@YooLookMarvelous 2 года назад

When I went to school in the sixties, there was one program, one track, and it all revolved around completing workbooks, memorizing facts and spewing them back in exams, and in addition being judged on academic performance (if memorizing and spewing dates and other facts counts as performance), we were given a grade for "citizenship." A good grade in citizenship meant you didn't give the teachers any trouble: you had learned to go along to get along. A bad grade meant you were Trouble, and got a lot of negative attention from the vice principal. I spent most of school, particularly middle school, in terror of making someone mad, or being different. It was a hateful experience.

Actually, the result was he got students not to think. When student lacked pressure and could make concensus decisions, they usually avoided learning.

@annegichohi7210 2 года назад

Thanks, well done Sprouts and the visuals are just amazing. Dewey's theory is certainly viable if there is proper funding for Education. It It is therefore easier to implement in a private school setting as compared to a public school one. A critic would be: how possible is it to find enough time within the term to implement the learning by doing eg planting and watching plants grow while at the same time covering the required syllabus?. For the discussions it is important that some teacher instructions and prior reading and research happens before for the discussion/debate to be meaningful enough to sprout out new perspectives and ideas. For the interdisciplinary aspect to work, very strong school leadership is essential as well as a strong teamwork culture among staff as it would require a lot of sharing, consultations, planning and constant reviews.

I still on board for a mixture of pedagogies. If using his theory in total: 1. Limited knowledge could be gained and imparted. 2. Areas with limited adult's supervision/guidance may result in some problems. 3. Students with different and multiple backgrounds may have different learning experience. Same task but for poor and uncared kids, might be able to do much.

@kgeorge1967 3 года назад

I did learn by doing, and this includes abstract math. Even at the PhD level, I found doing example math problems necessary. However, office hours w a professor are equally necessary. A mulri-prong approach if you will. I don't necessarily agree all Dewy's ideas such as gearing public school for those least likely to learn, but i accept most of his tenants.

@bradwhitham4115 2 года назад

In following your train of thought, I was struck by the evolutionary process, here. Newton built on Kepler, Galileo, Copernicus, et. al.; Einstein built on Newton; Bohr built upon Einstein; Hawking built upon Einstein and Bohr's argumentation over quantum mechanics. They weren't 'adding on' by intent so much as by trying to tear open the gaps in the theories of their mentors. This process was frequently inspired by a confrontational approach that has always been inherent to the scientific process (and despised by those who prefer more dogmatic instruction methods). Dewey harnessed this approach for "young person" education, but softened it with a more inclusive attitude, as he no doubt understood the dichotomy of young minds that are in varying stages of physical development (as well as more deferential/less self-confident) while at the same time more likely to question authority figures of prior generations - at least in their own minds.

The biggest problems are time and class size. In higher grade levels many teachers spend a lot of material that should've been covered in previous school years. Like a house, when a child has weak foundation you cannot build on top of it. Class sizes are often very high, sticking forty students at a time with one teacher leaves little time for individualization. Make elementary, middle, high schools interlinked...they could be in separate buildings but there needs to be a dialogue between the three. Cut down on testing and fund schools through summer (the summer break can be cut down to two weeks). Cut class sizes at 24 students regardless of grade level. Bring in more electives (culinary, auto shop, etc) that cater the student interests. Of course all of this requires more funding, but there would be better results.

@johnpepin5373 2 года назад

When I went to school, in the 1960s and 70s, class sizes were around 25 kids. The industrial arts as well as home economics were a big part of the curriculum. Upon graduating, we had what they called at the time, basic competency tests. Oddly, the taxes required then were a pittance compared to today. Maybe the answer is to go back to that style schooling instead of having two administrators per student?

@SiMeGamer 3 года назад

There is literally no difference for adults when it comes to learning. Learning works the same for children and adults. Study, experiment, observe, conclude, connect, discuss, etc, etc. What works for children, works for adults. Adults actually have a chance to learn far better because they can integrate new material to a lot of their life experience and knowledge they've gained, making the ideas stick better and have more meaning. If you can't use your time at work to learn, do it at home or during commute. Time and effort are all you need. If you want to learn math for example, even with good time dedication it will take you 4 years to cover pretty much all the subjects that exist to an intermediate level. If you want to learn sciences it will be a bit harder because of lack of equipment but there is a chance there are workshops out there you could go to. If you want to write better, then write and analyze, both your works, and the works of others, both the good and the bad to learn the DOs and DON'Ts. If you want something more artistic, you just need to do it. The only problems adults face are adult time consuming tasks. But the learning process doesn't change. Everything you see applicable to children in these videos, applies to everyone :]

Like the video points out, for some (maybe "a lot of" I don't know) people their time was wasted at school, and for some others yet, education was turned to torture. Now that we are free and have the resources, we should not repeat what was done to us before and not waste our time. That is the first thing that needs to be learn: Our learning time is precious because we pay for it with moments of our lives.

What’s more is that adult students are all usually rather young themselves are they not?

education was like that in east-germany in the 80s. i took class 1-9 there. the last years i spent in westgermany, were it was almost multiple choice only. so, ... in my case the answer is "yes", but in most cases it´s "no" i guess. thank you very much for sharing.

recipient of a public school education here, 80's and 90's...I remember group work and projects but the look of the classroom spaces were still very traditional and used more often. When I watched this video I wondered what a truly interdisciplinary experiential school would physically look like. I don't think it would have rows of desks facing the blackboard as the main part of the classroom! On the other hand it looks like a lot of work for one teacher and 26 students. Anyone know any real places that do this? Sounds a lot like Montessori?

There are some projects-schools, also in the US. But it’s still rare.

I do believe we ought to plot a new education model, perhaps inspired by the ancient Greeks. A model where we prepare humans to become utterly free and fulfilled. To do so we have to drive our education programs towards a much more eclectic and interdisciplinary syllabus.

Luis Atilano: This response is a year late, so you may not see it. But, if you do, I've been studying Educational Scholarship and Systems, moving towards a PhD in Research; and I couldn't agree more. Starting with a more Aristotlean model may not make everyone feel equal, but it will provide differentiated learning that matches not only the talents and abilities of each student. It will also match students to teachers to support learning strategies, styles, pacing, and give them more control over the speed at which students can cover the curriculum. Teachers unions hate this idea, so they'd really hate the idea of this method being used to curate teaching staff and give them the possibility of doing more And making more money based on their abilities and performance, as well as student achievement. School Choice needs to become a right. The teacher's unions must be destroyed and re-organized. The curriculum has to have a complete reboot. Unfortunately, the very group preventing All of the above are teachers and their unions. But, one we're at the reboot point, definitely go back to the Greco-Roman model. It's our best chance for the future generations to escape what's been done to Gen Y and Z

Some things just have to be learned by rote,wrote,roat? Examples: spelling, times tables, penmanship. Hopefully teachers make things fun most of the time.

@GailColeman 2 года назад

Penmanship isn't taught now that we have computers. Spelling? Spell check on the computer fixes that for them. My sister teaches music at the elementary level. She told me she has kids in Kindergarten who cannot name colors! Can't count to ten! These are kids in regular classrooms, too, not special education.

It is true that school has made great progress in teaching and learning methodology. However, many schools are still, one way or another in a Teaching Paradigm.

... I have taught all the grades, from K through 12. For ethical reasons, I quit teaching, because the 3 R's are all anyone needs, or even uses, in most jobs, and life. We learn the 3 R's by the 4th or fifth grade. Beyond this point, we are merely conditioning children to obey without questioning, and to report to work everyday, or else be punished. This is absolutely true.

@slynthrax5067 2 года назад

I have always learned best by doing but none of my schools taught that way as an adult I have learned so much more then as a child by just picking something up and trying to figure it out then I did as a kid who was just told what to do and to read books on stuff like recently I taught myself how to build computers by taking an old pc my mother had and taking it apart and trying to put it back together and after doing that I built my own pc no teaching required
