III. READING 
1. Read the passage and circle the correct answer for the questions below 
The ideas of John Dewey, philosopher and educator, have influenced 
American thought for over one hundred years. Dewey was born in Vermont 
in 1859, and throughout his life he kept the respect for experience, 
individuality, and fair play that shaped the character of the nineteenth-
century Vermonter. He viewed his own life as a continuously 
reconstructive process – with experience and knowledge building on each 
other. 
By the 1930s, Dewey had simplified his theory of experience to its 
essence. As the intellectual leader of the progressive schools, he asserted 
that there was a danger in rejecting the old unless the new rooted in a 
correct idea of experience. He held that experience is the interaction 
between what a person already knows and the situation at hand. Previous 
knowledge interacting with the present environment influences future 
experience. 
Dewey believed that experience could not be equated with education 
because all experiences are not necessarily educative. Experience is 
educative only when contributes to the growth of the individual, but it can 
be miseducative if it distorts the growth of the further experience. It is the 
quality of experience that matters.Thus, education is a social process, truly 
progressive education involves the preparation of the learner in directing the 
learning experience. 
During his long life, Dewey lectured and published prolifically. These 
writings were influential both during his lifetime and after his death at the 
age of ninety-two. He views his whole life as an experiment which would 
produce knowledge that would lead to further experimentation. The range 
and diversity of Dewey’s writing and his influence on society place him 
among America’s great thinkers.
