Dewey was born in Vermont in 1859, and throughout his life, he kept the respect forexperience, individuality, and fair play that shaped the character of the nineteenth-century Vermonter. Heviewed his own life as continuously reconstructive process-with experience and knowledge building oneach other. By the 1930s, Dewey had simplified his theory of experience to its essence. As the intellectualleader of the progressive schools, he asserted that there was danger in rejecting the old unless the newwas rooted in correct idea of experience. He held that experience is an interaction between what aperson already knows and the situation at hand. Previous knowledge interacting with the presentenvironment influences future experience.Dewey believed that experience could not be equated with education because all experiences arenot necessarily educative. Experience is educative only when it contributes to the growth of the individual,but it can be miseducative if it distorts the growth of further experience. It is the quality of experience thatmatters. Thus, productive experience is both the means and the goal of education. Furthermore, sinceeducation is social process, truly progressive education involves the participation of the learner indirecting the learning experience. During his long life, Dewey lectured and published prolifically These writings were influential bothduring his lifetime and after his death at the age of ninety-two. He viewed his whole life as an experimentwhich would produce knowledge that would lead to further experimentation.
