(UN)Democratic curriculum for a democratic educational world

Abstract

Let’s dream about that educational world where every child truly is free to make her/his learning decision and they are well supported, encouraged, and succeed. I am taking John Dewey’s stance to define a democratic curriculum that needs “a continuous reconstruction” (Dewey, 1902, p. 11) to connect the learner’s present experience to all possible new experiences. I believe in that educational world where the creative possibility of each child, no matter from which context the child comes, is in highest level.
