Psychology and Social Practice

"Psychology and Social Practice" by John Dewey is a thought-provoking exploration into the bond between psychological concepts and how they influence education. It reveals how education has been molded by ideas in psychology. Dewey points out that past educational systems often go wrong when using psychology, especially when they treat children as small adults. Instead, he believes that it's important to understand the psychological differences between children and adults, and that education should help kids form habits that can adapt to their environments. He urges for a connection between psychological theory and educational practice. This connection promotes a more complete understanding of responsible teaching and learning, with the hope that students will then mature into thoughtful and responsible members of society.
