    JOHN DEWEY’S EDUCATIONAL

    PHILOSOPHY ON PRINCIPLES OF
    TEACHING

    Prepared By:
    Rodmhel D. Merencillo
     John Dewey is credited as founding a philosophical
    approach to life called ‘pragmatism. He saw the
    purpose of education to be the cultivation of
    thoughtful, critically reflective, socially engaged
    individuals rather than passive recipients of
    established knowledge.

     Pragmatism is an educational philosophy that says


    that education should be about life and growth.
    That is, teachers should be teaching students
    things that are practical for life and encourage
    them to grow into better people
    The following are the acknowledged principles
    of good teaching:

     Teaching is good when it is based on the


    psychology of learning. This is based on the
    concept that the child is made the center of
    the educative process. The nature of the child
    and the nature of the learning process and
    the laws that govern the operation determine
    the type of teaching to be done by the
    teacher.
     Teaching is good when it is well planned such
    that the activities and experiences of the
    learner are continuously related and
    interrelated into larger, more meaningful,
    more inclusive, relation patterns.
     Learning is good when it provides learning
    experiences or situations that will insure
    understanding. Good teaching requires a rich
    environment of instructional materials and
    devices will challenge the attention of the
    learner, stimulate thinking, and facilitate
    understanding which make learning more
    meaningful.
