John Dewey’s Educational Philosophy Explained (And Critiqued)

In this video, I review and reflect on the ideas of John Dewey—one of the most influential figures in American education. As both a history teacher and a graduate student in history and education, I break down Dewey’s core philosophies, including experiential learning, democracy in the classroom, and his belief in education as a tool for social progress. I also examine how Dewey’s ideas hold up in today’s classrooms—what still works, what hasn’t aged well, and what we can learn from his approach to teaching and learning. 🎓 Whether you're a teacher, a student of education, or just curious about progressive education theory, this one’s for you. 👍 Like, 💬 Comment, and 🔔 Subscribe for more education-related content, book reviews, and classroom insights. #JohnDewey #EducationPhilosophy #TeacherThoughts #ProgressiveEducation #HistoryTeacher #TeacherPrep #EducationTheory #DeweyReview #TeachingStrategies
