An Interview with John Dewey on Science Education.
Ansbacher, Ted
Informal Learning, n34 p1,11-13 Jan-Feb 1999
John Dewey believed that all genuine learning comes about through experience. This introduction to Dewey's work explains Dewey's theories regarding knowledge and intellectual development, the acquisition of a body of facts versus learning scientific ways of treating experience, and the significance of Dewey's theories on informal learning centers that combine entertainment and education.
