Education or Experience?
Vandenberg, Donald
Educational Theory, v30 n3 p235-51 Sum 1980
An intensive analysis of Dewey's definition of education in his "Democracy and Education" shows that Dewey's use of a theory of educative experience was unjustified and prevented the formulation of a theory of democratic education. Critics and revisionists say that Dewey did not believe in the educability of working class children. (FG)
