What is Dewey and the Quest for Certainty in Education about?

Following Dewey’s advice to move beyond the traditional search for antecedent certainty, several of his main ideas are applied in three areas: (a) the traditional highly specialized curriculum—the priority given to academic subjects, neglect of vocational education, and the faulty definition of “equality” as “sameness”; (b) a reconsideration of educational aims—neglect of moral/social aims, need to include these in all disciplines, preparation for life in participatory democracy, and importance of choice; and (c) importance of interdisciplinary studies—search for meaning and connection, incorporation of aims across disciplines.
