Many analysts agree that John Dewey, as a philosopher and educator, has made a very significant and important contribution to child education and education in general. Dewey believed that children should develop an interest for learning, and his ideas came from the philosophy of pragmatism. According to him, the children should learn from experience and interaction and learn of the importance of democracy and society. He has written several books on the subject, which are even used to this very day as guidelines that some educators incorporate into their educational programs. Among these, three stand out: Democracy and Education. An introduction to the philosophy of education (1916), How We Think. A restatement of the relation of reflective thinking to the educative process (1933), and Experience and Education (1938). You can find more information by clicking the link I've provided below.
