Master`s Thesis The Possibility of Applying John Dewey's Educational Experimentalism for Elementary Work Study Programs Yi, Ji-Eun Department of Education Graduate school Kyungsung University Advisor : Park, Zoon-Young Abstract The aim of this study is to look at the importance of work study programs carried out within elementary school in Korea, using Dewey's educational approach principles. By gaining a better understanding of Dewey's theories and then implementing them into the elementary work study programs would hopefully provide much needed improvement and development. We can find methods to help elementary school students unify their experiences with their own creative extracurricular activities. This study highlights the need to make connections between students' prerequisite learning and experiences with that of the structural course content laid out in the elementary school work study program. The school curriculum should attempt to connect somehow to that of students' experiences, therefore demonstrating that more diverse resources and activity materials need to be developed to accommodate this. For example, emphasis should be put onto the development of more virtual educational resources and experiences such as using audio visual materials.
