https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh Chapter 2: The Philosophical and Educational Thought of John Dewey en-us 2019-01-24 23:36:46 UTC 2026-01-29 11:26:41 UTC hello@padlet.com 0 https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh/wish/326712054 My personal philosophy lines up with Dewey's pretty closely. I agree that all knowledge should be experienced and shared. Knowing failure and success helps you learn how to problem solve and how to better prepare yourself for how to deal with certain situations. I believe that Dewey and Socrates also had the same views when it came to having the students question the content and themselves so that their inner and outer knowledge would expand. ]]> 2019-02-01 14:59:57 UTC https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh/wish/326712054 harrisoncr https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh/wish/326712150 My personal philosophy is close to Dewey. I think you must see growth to grow. When you know you fail it helps you succeed later on. I agree that all knowledge is based on experiences. The more experiences you have the more your knowledge will expand.]]> 2019-02-01 15:00:07 UTC https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh/wish/326712150 https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh/wish/326725859 I believe like Dewey that knowledge is a crucial aspect of education especially in today's time. With all the technological advances it is easy to obtain knowledge but are students learning from this knowledge or simply absorbing too much information to actually process it correctly. That is why with knowledge a student must also show growth. Otherwise I feel Dewey would not be content with the state of a child's education if there is knowledge with no growth. This is something I believe and agree with as well.]]> 2019-02-01 15:25:20 UTC https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh/wish/326725859 https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh/wish/326733115 Along the lines of John Dewey's philosophical thoughts, I can compare and contrast within certain topics. I agree with him on his belief on how "education synonymous with growth." I believe that the sole function for students is to grow and progress throughout the school year to expand their knowledge. I disagree with his belief on child centered education. I believe that the teacher is the expert and should set and teach the objectives they believe the students should be learning. I do not think the students should have control of this because they don't fully understand what they should be learning. There is a way to go about it differently to where the students have control in certain aspects of learning.]]> 2019-02-01 15:37:53 UTC https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh/wish/326733115 powersb2 https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh/wish/326763401 I pretty much agree with Dewey's philosophical views. I believe that education should be student oriented. This will allow students to feel that they are apart of something bigger and they are not just a number. I also believe that education is growth. Throughout the school year, students are always growing. Teachers are even considered "not-effective" if their students do not grow enough. I think that any growth is good and it shouldn't have to be a specific number to say you have grown enough. ]]> 2019-02-01 16:32:24 UTC https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh/wish/326763401 https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh/wish/326772217 I think for the most part my views are similar to Dewys. I agree kids should have a lot of say in what they want to learn. I think as we grow we learn more. It is also important for students to understand that they can fail and learn from their mistakes.]]> 2019-02-01 16:48:32 UTC https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh/wish/326772217 https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh/wish/327160001 I agree with Dewy a lot because he really believes that education is about growth. If students aren't growing their knowledge and gaining true skill then they are not being educated. Students who have a say in what they learn will be able to grow because they are interested. I also agree with his philosophy about how children can question and start to realize different ways of learning when they are older. Education is about experience and Dewy really valued that. He really believed that it is important for students to learn from their failures and mistakes and gain knowledge from that. All around he focuses on growth and I support that.]]> 2019-02-04 04:25:20 UTC https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh/wish/327160001 armstrongb2 https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh/wish/327363566 I agree with Dewey's philosophies a lot. I believe that education should be student centered. It is important to tie the lessons and what is going in the world at the time together so the students can relate and have a better chance of understanding the content. A teacher's main job and goal is to help the students grow throughout the year as a student and a person.

I do not think there is a right way to do everything. I do believe that there are other alternative or multiple different ways. Who determines which way is correct? We may have not found another way yet. It allows students the chance to see if the could come up with one. There are some things that can only be done one way. Also, I do agree that is should be student centered. It allows the student to expand their mind. I do believe that there are failures attempts until you succeed. A person can learn something new everyday. I always believe that a student learning it themselves will learn and understand it better as well as it will stick better to the student. A student won't have to memorize it for a month or so and then forget it. A teacher can be there to guide, but I do not think a teacher should put in their personal opinion on the student. They can express it to the student, which could open up ideas, but do not force it on the student. ]]> 2019-02-05 00:05:08 UTC https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh/wish/327587276 jacquayt https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh/wish/327588731 I agree with Dewey's philosophy because he is very big on growth in the classroom. He claims, "growth leads to further growth." He also says that an experience is educative only if it produces growth. I strongly agree with this statement because in order for students to actually learn things they need to have some sort of growth when it comes to their mindset or how well they understand things. I also agree with Dewey's statement that says it is important to have goals in the classroom. It is important for both teachers and students to set goals in order to have a set standard.

When you fail you need to pick yourself back up and try harder to achieve your goal. I believe that, that is a huge part of what learning should be about.]]> 2019-02-05 04:14:39 UTC https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh/wish/327621262 https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh/wish/328286826 I agree with Dewey's philosophy because, growth is important in education. He explained without education you can not grow but with education, growth will come. He believed giving students have a say for their age capacity. I think he is right, when giving students a say it allows the child to be excited in what they are learning and staying engaged. Dewey thought you can not learn from experience unless you reflect on it, which is true. If you do not reflect you can not understand what you did right or wrong. Which will not allow growth in you as a person and education. ]]> 2019-02-06 15:08:10 UTC https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh/wish/328286826 https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh/wish/329023145 I agree with Dewey a lot because I resinate with his belief that education is about growth. If students are not growing and gaining knowledge and skills that they will need later in life. They are not being education. When students are interested and have a input on what they learn that will continue to grow and learn. ]]> 2019-02-07 23:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh/wish/329023145 https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh/wish/329025507 I agree with Dewey in terms that growth is important for education. In order for students to learn anything in school, they need to be growing. I also believe that children should have say in what they learn, and help plan their own education.]]> 2019-02-07 23:42:22 UTC https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh/wish/329025507 https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh/wish/329043059 I agree with John Dewey's philosophical thoughts because I truly believe learning is correlated with growing. I want my students to grow as individuals as they grow through their learning. As far as planning their own education, I believe there should be a fine line between what children are allowed to control and what they are not allowed to control. Some of the classes I have been forced to take, have opened my eyes to new learning (and personal growth) that might have never happened had I not been forced to take that class. Now, things can obviously go the opposite direction but I think there should be a fine line. ]]> 2019-02-08 01:19:39 UTC https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh/wish/329043059 belld3 https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh/wish/329163953 I agree with Dewey's belief that education is synonymous with growth. I think any time a student is learning, they are growing as a person. I do agree with his belief that teachers not only should have aims for the activities they choose, but students should play a part in the aspect of setting objectives for themselves and their learning. ]]> 2019-02-08 12:52:19 UTC https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh/wish/329163953 https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh/wish/329947993 I agree with Dewey's philosophy because I do agree that students should let there teacher know where they are at with your learning. I believe that teachers are pick part in a student growth and how they continue on in there education. Something I want to incorporate in my future classroom is at the end of each day have students fill out a exit ticket everyday and have them explain to me if it was a good day or a bad day and have them explain to me why there day was like that. I can also have them say one thing they learned that day.

One of the was how he viewed growth in a classroom. If you see that a student isn't growing at all in your classroom, I will feel as if its the teacher fault. This means you have to might change how you teach. Growing is the purpose of learning and I also like that he is strict. I feel he holding his student accountable for what they say or do in a classroom and that helps them throughout life. ]]> 2019-02-12 15:21:07 UTC https://padlet.com/wolfe9/5r8gw4ztg0wh/wish/330375614
