Educational Innovation and Dewey's "Moral Principles in Education."
Finn, Mary E.
Educational Studies, v12 n3 p251-63 Fall 1981
Explores the history and impact of Dewey's progressive education theories as applied to moral education and individualized instruction. The author argues that current educational practices distort the philosopher's original intentions of improving intelligence and moral conduct in order to justify tracking and increased competition for scarce educational and employment opportunities.
