The Educational Philosophy of John Dewey and Its Impact on the Development of Modern Vietnamese Education

The philosophy of John Dewey, which places an emphasis on democratic education, experiential learning, and the role of schools in social transformation, has had a considerable influence on education systems all over the world and currently serves as a basic foundation for the innovations that have been implemented at these institutions. The research makes use of the materialist dialectical method, which is an approach that is both comprehensive and historically particular. This technique is used in order to elaborate on Dewey's educational philosophy and its relation to the educational reforms that are being implemented in Vietnam. By conducting an analysis of Dewey's educational principles and aims, the study highlights the relevance of these aspects in relation to the education modernization activities that are being undertaken in Vietnam. The goal of Vietnam is to cultivate people who are capable of making significant contributions to the progress of socioeconomic conditions, and this strategy is congruent with that purpose. Vietnam has been able to surmount its educational constraints, including the absence of practical skills training and the emphasis on information memorization, by incorporating Dewey's concepts. According to the research results, the educational system in Vietnam has the potential to undergo substantial modernization through the implementation of Dewey's educational philosophy.
