Özet: Throught the history of humanity, education has been one of the fundamental matters of debate in all kinds of society. Education is also one of the most important milestones in human development. Therefore a great number of theories of education have been developed by the people in order to reach the best potential method of education. John Dewey is one of the most influential philosophers in the history of education theory.
