Learning Theories

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses John Dewey', considered the father of modern educational theory, and his views on education and the educational system. The paper explains that Dewey's insights evolved from an educational system that was based on authoritarian concepts. Dewey believed that the traditional style of schooling prevented education from having a focus on the individual learning styles of the student. These learning styles were directly correlated to the student's experiences, which were pivotal in how the student accepted, processed and ultimately learned information. The paper explains that this theory was entitled the experiential theory of education and was considered an innovative approach to learning at the time.
