Writings by JOHN DEWEY

Some key readings in my opinion:

Dewey, J. (1897). My pedagogic creed. In R. D. Archambault (Ed.), John Dewey on education: Selected writings (pp. 427-439).  Chicago: University of Chicago Press.

Dewey, J. (1899). The school and society. In M. S. Dworkin (Ed.), Dewey on education (pp. 33-90).  New York: Teachers College Press.

Dewey, J. (1902). The child and the curriculum. In R. D. Archambault (Ed.), John Dewey on education: Selected writings (pp. 339-358).  Chicago: University of Chicago Press.

Dewey, J. (1909). Moral principles in education.  Boston: Houghton-Mifflin.

Dewey, J. (1922). The nature of aims. In R. D. Archambault (Ed.), John Dewey on education: Selected writings (pp. 70-80).  Chicago: University of Chicago Press.

Dewey, J. (1938). Experience and education.  New York: Macmillan.

Dewey, J. (2004). Democracy and Education.  Mineola, NY: Dover Publications. (Original work published 1916.)

If you have never read Dewey first-hand—it is a treat. It takes some getting used to—like traveling in a country and not being used to a foreign accent---the text and writing style is complex--but worth every word.
