Democratic Education
[ send me this paper ]
Dewey (1907) said that one goal of social institutions is to meet the changing needs of society in industry and commerce, but that is only one of many goals and should not replace the overall need to educate an individual to become his or her best simply because transient industries must be supported. He reminds educators to remember that other societal institutions must also be supported, and for this reason, education is interested in "character-building" for the express purpose of creating individuals who serve a fully integrated democratic society. (Dewey, 1907, 10). To do anything else is to undermine that society. Oakes & Lipton (2002) take Dewey to the next level to include multicultural global democratic cultures. 2 references.
