John Dewey: Democracy in Education (1916)
[ send me this paper ]
(6pp) The formation of a philosophy sounds like a major assignment, doesn't it? Yet each of us do that daily in the way that we live - that is our personal philosophy. John Dewey (1859 - 1952) took that a few steps farther and looked at the process, or the way, in which we as humans best learn, and then looked at that method in relationship to a teaching role and a school system. He believed that a democracy was the overall best environment for the methods he defines in Democracy in E ducation (1916).

John S. Mayher's "Uncommon Sense: Theoretical Practice In Language Education"
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. John S. Mayher's Uncommon Sense: Theoretical Practice In Language Education dares to delve where few other educational professionals have the courage. Indeed, the author presents an interesting look at issues which others tend to view quite differently; it is in the first few chapters that he lays the groundwork for the connection between language and education. Mayher is of the opinion that there is much for instructors to learn with regard to this intrinsic relationship, which is why he strives to pass along the lessons he, himself, has learned after several decades as a language teacher. The writer discusses how the author's efforts may be deviate from the norm, but they have proven to have considerable merit of their own. No additional sources used.
