| Research Abstract |
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.
