For John Dewey…O Interest was purposeful.O Education should commence with

the experience learners already possessed when they entered school.

O Experience was essentially the starting point for all further learning.

O Children exist in a personal world of experiences.

Page 9: Experience centered design

O Their interests are personal concerns, rather than bodies of knowledge.

“The easy thing is to seize upon something in the nature of the child, or

upon something in the developed consciousness of the adult, insist upon that as the key to the whole problem.”

-Dewey, 1900

O THINK of the child’s experience as fluid and dynamic. Thus, the curriculum would continually change to address students needs.
