Περιγραφή
Περίληψη:Lei Wang researches John Dewey's pedagogical influence on the historical context of China and compares his observations and his basic democratic approach with the concepts and practical implementation of his Chinese students.

The results of her study can clarify and correct errors that continue to have effect today.
