![Page 4: Doing Dewey in the Digital Age Ravyn Wilson-Bernard Kristy Shuda McGuire Ruth Baker Community College of Philadelphia](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103101/5697bf7b1a28abf838c83837/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
“It’s the condition our condition is in.”
Toni Morrison, Song of Solomon
1. “the mental attitudes and habits of the persons with whom the child is in contact;
2. the subjects studied;3. current educational aims and
ideals” (Dewey 46,47)

Mental Attitudes and Habits
“Most people are quite unaware of the distinguishing peculiarities of their own mental habit. They take their own mental operations for granted, and unconsciously make them the standard for judging the mental processes of others.” (Dewey 48)
![Page 6: Doing Dewey in the Digital Age Ravyn Wilson-Bernard Kristy Shuda McGuire Ruth Baker Community College of Philadelphia](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103101/5697bf7b1a28abf838c83837/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Subjects
“In school, amassing information always tends to escape from the ideal of wisdom or good judgment . . . ‘Covering the ground’ is the primary necessity; the nurture of mind a bad second.” (Dewey 52)
![Page 7: Doing Dewey in the Digital Age Ravyn Wilson-Bernard Kristy Shuda McGuire Ruth Baker Community College of Philadelphia](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103101/5697bf7b1a28abf838c83837/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Educational Aims and Ideals
“In instruction, the external standard manifests itself in the importance attached to the ‘correct answer.’ No one other thing, probably, works so fatally against focusing the attention of teachers upon the training of mind as the domination of their minds by the idea that the chief thing is to get pupils to recite their lessons correctly.”
(Dewey 53)
![Page 8: Doing Dewey in the Digital Age Ravyn Wilson-Bernard Kristy Shuda McGuire Ruth Baker Community College of Philadelphia](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103101/5697bf7b1a28abf838c83837/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Summary
“Education that takes as its standard theimprovement of the intellectual attitude and
methodof students demands more serious preparatorytraining, for it exacts sympathetic and intelligentinsight into the workings of individual minds, and
avery wide and flexible command of subjectmatter—so as to be able to select and apply justwhat is needed when it is needed.”(Dewey 54)

“Five distinctive steps in reflection”1. “a felt difficulty”2. “its location and definition”3. “suggestion of possible
solution”4. “development by reasoning
of the bearings of the suggestion”
5. “further observation and experiment leading to its acceptance or rejection; that is, the conclusion of belief or disbelief”(Dewey 72)
(Hoefnagels 11)

Hypothesis
“Occurrence of a suggested explanation
or possible solution”(Dewey 75)

Reasoning“The development of an idea throughreasoning helps at least to supply theintervening or intermediate terms that linktogether into a consistent whole apparentlydiscrepant extremes.”(Dewey 76)

Conclusion
“The concluding andconclusive step issome kind ofexperimentalcorroboration, orverification, of theconjectural idea.”(Dewey 77)

Summary
“The trained mind is the one that bestgrasps the degree of observation, formingof ideas, reasoning, and experimental
testingrequired in any special case, and that
profitsthe most, in future thinking, by mistakesmade in the past.”(Dewey 78)

Dewey's Constructivism
• Experience/Empirical Observation
• Social Interaction
• Puzzlement/Curiosity

One-Minute Dewey"...experience also includes the reflection that sets us free from the
limiting influence of sense, appetite, and tradition." (Dewey 156)
“...the business of education might be defined as...an emancipation and enlargement of experience.” (Dewey 156)
"The attitude of childhood is naive, wondering, experimental; the world of man and natures new. Right methods of education preserve and perfect this attitude..." (Dewey 156)
"...useful work is not necessarily labor""...there's no contrast in doing things for utility and for fun." (Dewey 167)
“When one is doing something, one is compelled, if the work is to succeed...to use eyes, ears, and sense of touch as guides to action.” (Dewey 188)

Applying Dewey to Inquiry-based Learning(Savery 2006, Coe 2001)
The 5 Phases of Inquiry:
Engagement: Begins with curiosity or puzzlement and recognition of existing knowledge
Exploration: Students gain expertise and experience in identifying/addressing a problem in groups and are, individually, responsible for their own learning
- Use active learning: questioning, critical thinking, and problem-solving
![Page 20: Doing Dewey in the Digital Age Ravyn Wilson-Bernard Kristy Shuda McGuire Ruth Baker Community College of Philadelphia](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022103101/5697bf7b1a28abf838c83837/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Explanation: Investigate alternative solutions
-Active, conscious thought and comprehension is achieved through use of curiosity, observation, reading, reciting and discussion (social learning)
Elaboration: Create new knowledge as information is gathered and understood
Evaluation: Reflect on new knowledge to form solution(s)
- Recognize that there is no single “correct” answer
- Action on a solution (implement a plan)
