The Deweyan Tradition as Alternative to Systems Efficiency and Romantic Freedom.

Wirth, Arthur

Journal of Thought, v13 n4 p273-78 Nov 1978

Deweyan tradition contains an image of learning at odds with another 20th century American innovation: the effort to subsume school learning under business efficiency ideology. Dewey might again have relevance for social and educational planning, but not if still interpreted as a romantic educational freedom. (Author/SJL)
