American philosopher and educator Dewey criticized educational methods that simply amused and entertained students or were overly vocational. Dewey employed an activity program that stressed the educational development of the children in terms of inpidual needs and interests. He stressed that children should learn by doing or by experience so that they would understand the world around him. John Dewey had the following famous ideas on education in his book Democracy and Education:
1. Life and Education are interrelated not separated. Education is life. Education is not preparation for life. Classroom teaching is a part of life itself instead of a preparation for it.
2. Children will learn best by doing or by acting in the world.
3. Continuity of experience is essential to growth.
Dewey’s teaching materials came from nature and articles of everyday use. But Dewey’s game teaching theory had some limitations. The knowledge that Dewey gave children was very narrow and the ways were also very limited.
