A New Exploration of Dewey's "Education as Life"

Abstract

To gain a deeper understanding of John Dewey's profound concept of "Education as Life" and to explore its educational value, this paper summarizes previous insights and delves into the meaning of "life" in "Education as Life" and the practical implications of this concept. This paper argues that the true essence of "Education as Life" lies iA New Exploration of Dewey's "Education as Life". In the fact that classroom teaching itself should be a form of life, education should revert to its fundamental purpose of nurturing individuals, allowing children to freely pursue their own happiness; education should develop children's intelligence, and the pursuit of happiness should benefit their future development. Based on this, the paper analyzes the educational value of "Education as Life".
