Summary

The first systematic exploration of Deweyan pedagogy in an actual classroom since studies of Dewey's own Laboratory School at the turn of the century! In Part I, using accessible language, Stephen Fishman discusses Dewey's educational theory in the context of Dewey's ideology and process philosophy. In Part II, Fishman joins composition specialist Lucille McCarthy to examine his own Introduction to Philosophy class. In doing so, 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.
