School and Society
Based on the close relationship between school and society, School and Society reveals that education should start from the instincts and needs of children, and highlights the importance of activities related to children's direct experience and social life and family life.
First of all, Dewey pointed out that education should pay attention to students' personality and interests. He believed that the traditional education mode at that time paid too much attention to the imparts or even indoctrination of knowledge, ignoring the actual needs and development of students, the authority of educational institutions and teachers was too strong, and the relationship between teachers and students was too rigid, lacking interaction and freedom, which limited the development of students. He believes that students' personality and interests are important educational resources, and education should focus on cultivating students' interests and potential, so that students can actively participate in the educational process and give play to their creativity and imagination.
Secondly, Dewey said that education should be a continuation of social life. He believes that education is not only about imparting knowledge, but also about cultivating students' ability and accomplishment to participate in social life. Education should be combined with the actual needs of society to cultivate students' ability to adapt to social development and changes. He believes that school should be a part of social life, and education should focus on closely combining students' learning with life practice, so that students can understand the nature and problems of society, and help students gradually become citizens with a sense of social responsibility and participation.
Finally, Dewey put forward the idea of education reform. He believes that education reform is not only to change the education model and curriculum, but also to change the education system and social structure, so that education and society are more closely integrated.
