6.Who is John Dewey, and with which educational philosophy is he most closely associated? What are considered his most important contributions to American education? - John Dewey believed that ideas served as tools for people to collaborate and tackle challenges together. He is closely linked to progressive education and was one of the early proponents of pragmatism, a philosophy that prioritizes practical problem-solving through hands-on experience. 7.What is an eclectic philosophy, and what are the hazards associated with holding such a position? - An eclectic philosophy embraces the belief that truth can be discovered in diverse sources, allowing individuals to choose from various perspectives. However, it's important to be cautious of potential pitfalls, such as the risk of careless reasoning. 8.-10. Select two of the videos viewed for Chapter 9 in Modules. Discuss what you learned for each one. - Progressive education in the 1940s :This video explains how in the U.S. public schools, for generations, they’ve followed the same routine an unchanging pattern. During the time the students have experienced unpleasant education- they were aimed to equip thems intelligently for their future by addressing their present times. This video also shows how Progressive education, despite a parent's worry about children not mastering the basics, embraces a positive perspective. It highlights various educators, like the renowned John Dewey. However, there's still someone who doubts its effectiveness. There's actually someone who proposes that ideas akin to progressive education contributed to the decline of ancient Greek civilization. Interestingly, the current debates on teaching methods bear resemblances to the educational discussions of the 1940s, Crazy! - Maxine Green- Philosopher, Imaginer, Inquirer: I’m not sure if there's a video; all I see is more of a blog. But what I’ve learned about Maxine is that she promotes philosophy and the practice of aesthetic education,n and social imagination. The Maxine Greene Institute aims to establish an inclusive and open environment

where no single entity or manifesto dominates. We encourage conversation, debate, and diverse perspectives on the development of aesthetic education and the concept of social imagination. As we know, aesthetic education is in²uenced by the ideas of various ±elds like psychology, philosophy, and education, even predating Dewey. Ideas should not be con±ned to institutions or exclusive boundaries. The Institute strives to create a space for free and autonomous individuals, enriching it with our own experiences and giving a name to what was previously unnamed. Let's keep fostering this inclusive space together!
