The book explores Dewey's philosophy of education, focusing on the holistic development of students. It highlights his insights into intelligence, socially useful skills, and individual growth, emphasizing their relevance in today's high-stakes testing environment. Dewey's ideas are presented as increasingly vital for fostering a more effective and meaningful educational experience.

Most social studies teachers follow a traditional lecture-discussion-practice format, even though the curriculum was founded on John Dewey's problem-and- inquiry approach to learning. This book guides the reader through his major theories--curriculum, experience, interest, inquiry--and culminates with active, democratic citizenship.
