Hey friends, welcome back to another episode of Confessions of a PYP Teacher. I'm Lu Gerlach with thinkchat. This is Confession 170, where we look at John Dewey's Experience and Education and dig into chapter three: Criteria of Experience. This is the fourth episode in this book club series, as I'm trying to unpack the ideas of John Dewey and think about how they still apply to learning today. Something tells me this chapter is full of juicy tidbits just from the title.
Dewey begins this chapter speaking about how not all experiences are of equal value. In fact, there is an experience continuum. Dewey claims, “I have already mentioned what I called the category of continuity, or the experiential continuum. This principle is involved, as I pointed out, in every attempt to discriminate between experiences that are worth while educationally and those that are not.”
What is an experiential continuum?
How do we discriminate between a worthy and unworthy experience?
How will this impact my practice?
All of these questions will be explored in this episode. Take a listen.
