- Abstract:
- In his The Child and the Curriculum，John Dewey puts his philosophy of education into hiscurriculum theory. Dewey believes that the growth need of the child is the starting point of education，thepsychological law of the child is the basis of the curriculum，the initiative activity of the child is the methodof the curriculum，and the growth of the child’s experience is the ultimate goal of the curriculum；therefore，all kinds of educational arrangements should be centered around the child. There are many such wonderfulphilosophical ideas of education in this book. It has been 115 years since the first publication of Dewey’s TheChild and the Curriculum，but the thought embodied in the book still has practical significance for the reform ofeducation and the reform of curriculum as well as the construction of pedagogy.
