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.
