Philosophical and pedagogical innovations by the intellectuals of the universities of Chicago and Columbia John Dewey and Philip Jackson

Summary/Abstract: The paper is devoted to educational contribution of outstanding American scientists John Dewey and Philip Jackson in school and university reforming in the context of child-centered model. Both personalities managed to show their professionalism during their fruitful activity in the biggest universities of the USA - Chicago University and the University of Columbia. It is proved that Jackson has become John Dewey’s follower, who was named one of the four greatest educators of the XX century. It is stated that both Dewey and Jackson were sure that any school reform would fail if there were no teacher with reflective capacities, a good psychological training and organizing skills, capable of stimulating student’s creativity and independence. Both educators tried to meet the interests and needs of school and university students. The materials of the paper are based on the results of the author’s scientific trip to the USA, to the university of Chicago on Carnegie Foundation Scientific Grant in 2003 and studies of Archives of Regenstein Library and Dewey Studies Centre in Carbondale (South Illinois University), as well as personal discussions with professor Ph. Jackson.
