Psychology and Social Practice by John Dewey
"Psychology and Social Practice" by John Dewey is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This book discusses the intricate relationship between psychology and education, emphasizing how psychological principles should inform educational practices. Dewey explores how educational methods have been shaped by psychological assumptions, outlining the need for a more cohesive understanding of psychology as it relates to social practices, particularly in the context of education. In this work, Deweyargues that the traditional educational system often misapplies psychological concepts, particularly by treating children as "little adults" rather than as individuals in a state of growth. He highlights the importance of understanding the fundamental distinctions between child and adult psychology, specifically the need for education to facilitate the flexible formation of habits in children. Dewey believes that recognizing these psychological realities can lead to the development of more effective educational practices that cater to the personal and social needs of students, ultimately allowing them to grow into responsible members of society. The book advocates for an organic connection between psychological theory and educational practice to foster a deeper understanding of the ethical implications involved in teaching and learning.
