EDU 525 Topic 6: Discussion Question 2
Max Points: 5.0
In “Work or Love? A
Christian Evaluation of John Dewey’s Views on the Purpose of Schooling,”
Cimpean states:
Dewey rejects the
Christian purpose for schooling, which is to serve and love God. When evaluated
from a Christian perspective, Dewey’s progressivism falls short due to its
refusal to promote the Christian ideal of serving and loving God. Dewey’s
purpose for schooling is to promote a democratic state.
Do you agree or
disagree with Cimpean’s assertion? Why or why not? Provide support for your
response.
