Abstract

MONTENEGRO ORTIZ, Carlos Manuel. My pedagogic creed: an approach to the early john dewey's philosophy of education. Escritos - Fac. Filos. Let. Univ. Pontif. Bolivar. [online]. 2014, vol.22, n.49, pp.415-429. ISSN 0120-1263.

My Pedagogic Creed, an essay first published in January 1897 by John Dewey, exhibits the ideas that later its writer will develop in his professional career. Being short in extension but with a significant thematic development, this "creed" provides the ideas about education, psychology, philosophy and democracy that the renowned American pragmatist had. The following paper aims to interpret the teachings left by Dewey over a hundred years about Education through a (hermeneutic) analysis of the text. Therefore, it studies some of the ideas presented by the American philosopher in his Creed and in some of his early academic works (1882-1898).

Keywords : Philosophy of Education; Society; Childhood; Democracy; Pedagogy.
