John Dewey's Thoughts on Teacher Education

As a great educator,John Dewey paid more attention to teacher education.In his opinion,though the school of education was the main agency of teacher education,elementary school and high school was organic parts of teacher education institutions.Curriculum of teacher education should involve four aspects:general knowledge,subjects knowledge,knowledge about education theory and professional spirits,in which,general knowledge was the prerequisite,subject knowledge was the basis,knowledge about education theory was the backbone,teaching practice was a necessary part,and all of these should permeate with the professional spirits.
