John Dewey

Sinopse

In "John Dewey: The Philosophy of Education," celebrated pragmatist philosopher John Dewey presents a profound exploration of education as a fundamental aspect of human experience and democracy. Employing a clear and didactic literary style, Dewey intertwines theory and practice, advocating for experiential learning as a way to foster critical thinking and social responsibility. The book delves into the historical context of early 20th-century educational reforms, highlighting Dewey's innovative ideas that challenge traditional pedagogical methods and emphasize the importance of a student-centered approach in nurturing informed and engaged citizens. Dewey, who lived through a period of significant societal change, was deeply influenced by diverse fields such as psychology, sociology, and philosophy, which shaped his views on education. His experiences as a teacher and his observations of the classroom dynamics informed his pioneering theories that sought to democratize education, paving the way for a more interactive and adaptive learning environment. Dewey's commitment to improving educational practices is evident in his advocacy for an experimental and progressive educational philosophy. This essential text is a must-read for educators, philosophers, and anyone interested in the interplay between education and democratic society. Dewey's insights remain relevant, inviting readers to reconsider the purpose of education in cultivating not only knowledge but also the skills and values necessary for active, thoughtful participation in civic life.

The Unification of Germany - The...

Kelly Mass

The Unification of Germany had a significant impact on the whole country, the empire, and the decades after that. It was the inauguration for Germany into the 20th century, and the dreaded World War I and World War II that were partially consequences of that unification. 
On January 18th, 1871, in the Palace of Versailles in France, Germany was lawfully merged into the German Empire, a Prussia-dominated country state with federal components. Throughout the Franco-Prussian War, princes of German countries assembled there to declare King Wilhelm I of Prussia Emperor of the German Empire. 
The Treaty of Verdun in 843 developed a confederated kingdom of German princedoms that had existed for over 1,000 years. Even so, till 1800, there was no development of a German country identity, owing to the independent nature of baronial states; most occupants of the Holy Roman Empire, beyond those straight governed by the emperor, determined themselves mainly with their prince, instead of with the Empire as a whole. Kleinstaaterei, or "small-statery," happened called a result of this practice. Improvements in transport and interactions brought these areas closer together by the nineteenth century. 
Today, you can learn more about what made this unification so special, and how it led to other events in history.

The Present Professor -...

Elizabeth A. Norell

In a world where stress is unavoidable—where political turmoil, pandemic fallout, and personal challenges touch everyone—this book offers guidance for cutting through the emotional static that can hold teachers back. A specialist in pedagogical strategies with extensive classroom experience, Elizabeth A. Norell explains how an educator's presence, or authenticity, can be critical to creating transformational spaces for students. And presence, she argues, means uncovering and understanding one's own internal struggles and buried insecurities—stresses often left unconfronted in an academic culture that values knowing over feeling. Presenting the research on how and why such inner work unlocks transformational learning, The Present Professor equips educators with the tools for crafting a more authentic presence in their teaching work. 
 
 
 
At a time of crisis in higher education, as teachers struggle to find new ways to relate to, think about, and instruct students, this book holds a key. Implementing more inclusive pedagogies, Norell suggests, requires sorting out our own identities. In short, if we want to create spaces where students have the confidence, comfort, and psychological safety to learn and grow, we have to create spaces where we do, too. The Present Professor is dedicated to that proposition, and to helping educators build that transformational space.
