Citizenship Education and Democracy in the Liberal Reform: John Dewey's Theory of Schools and Its Practice

本研究旨在通过对20世纪二三十年代古典自由主义的重构与再定义，厘清杜威的公民教育理论与实践，设计基于民主与公共性原则的创新学校改革愿景。我分析了在自由主义从自由放任到福利国家的转变时期，杜威关于公民和民主教育的理论和实践是如何发展的。我的结论是，杜威的观点与主流自由主义完全不同，他强调在学校建立社区的重要性。

The aim of this study is to clarify John Dewey’s theory and practice of citizenship education and to design the vision of innovative school reforms based on the principle of democracy and publicness by focusing on the reconstruction and redefinition of classical liberalism in the 1920s and 30s. I analyzed how Dewey’s theory and practice of citizenship and democratic education had developed during the shifting period of liberalism from laissez-faire to welfare-state. I concluded that Dewey’s perspective was completely different from the dominant liberalism in that he emphasized the importance of building communities in schools.
