III READING
1 Read the passage and circle the correct answer for the questions below
The ideas of John Dewey, philosopher and educator, have influenced
American thought for over one hundred years Dewey was born in Vermont
in 1859, and throughout his life he kept the respect for experience,
individuality, and fair play that shaped the character of the
nineteenth-century Vermonter He viewed his own life as a continuously
reconstructive process – with experience and knowledge building on each
other
By the 1930s, Dewey had simplified his theory of experience to its
essence As the intellectual leader of the progressive schools, he asserted
that there was a danger in rejecting the old unless the new rooted in a
correct idea of experience He held that experience is the interaction
between what a person already knows and the situation at hand Previous
knowledge interacting with the present environment influences future
experience
Dewey believed that experience could not be equated with education
because all experiences are not necessarily educative Experience is
educative only when contributes to the growth of the individual, but it can
be miseducative if it distorts the growth of the further experience It is the
quality of experience that matters.Thus, education is a social process, truly
progressive education involves the preparation of the learner in directing the
learning experience
During his long life, Dewey lectured and published prolifically These
writings were influential both during his lifetime and after his death at the
age of ninety-two He views his whole life as an experiment which would
produce knowledge that would lead to further experimentation The range
and diversity of Dewey’s writing and his influence on society place him
among America’s great thinkers
