ABSTRACT A Study on John Dewey's Educational Thought - Focusing upon the Laboratory School as a Social Experiment - Lee, Sang Min Department of History Education Graduate School of Education, Choungju University The purpose of this study is to examine the educational thought and technology of John Dewey, one of the most influential philosophers and educational reformers in America. Throughout his works such as My Pedagogic Creed, The School and Society, The Child and Curriculum, Democracy and Education and Experience and Education, Dewey developed a new educational approach. Criticizing traditional education which centered on textbooks and teacher-leading role, Dewey set forth laboratory schools to experiment his new theory and practices in education. Dewey emphasized a learner-centered education. He wanted to shed light on the learner as an important agent in the learning process. He argued that in order for education to be most effective, educational curriculum or program must be presented in a way that allowed the student to relate the information to prior experiences, thus establishing a deeper connection with this new knowledge. He also reevaluated the role that a teacher should play within that process. According to Dewey, the role of a teacher should be that of guide and director. The teacher becomes a partner in the learning process, guiding students to independently discover meaning within the subject area. Dewey defines education as the development of all those capacities in the individual which will enable one to control his/her environment and fulfill many possibilities. According to Dewey, education is a process that begins with a very birth of the child, and goes on throughout the whole life. Dewey insisted that one of the key purposes of education is to develop a social efficiency of each child. To him school is a social institution, through which the activities of the outer world are reflected. The school must be made a social center for children, where they participate in daily life of the community. Dewey aimed to integrate the school with the society, and the processes of learning with problems of real life situation. Dewey's educational thought could be summarized as the followings. ① The children should have a genuine experience of learning, encouraging independent reasoning. ② The children should obtain information, which is needed for problem-solving, training to behave cooperatively and taking cares each other. ③ The children should have an opportunity to test his ideas by application. ④ The children should be needed in various occupational activities for food, clothing, and shelter in order to help their needs. Dewey's thoughts and ideas have been greatly influential not only in the United State but also around the world. Dewey's laboratory school took the role facilitating the educational campaigns in America and influenced the education of several nations in the world. Dewey was also considered as an expert in the field of educational philosophy in America, with special emphasis on what is generally called 'pragmatic education.'
