“…Dewey's rejection of a fixed self is in line with more recent postmodern deconstructions of the self (Musolf, 2001). According to Dewey, the self is a changeable social construction without stability, but with a "relative fluidity and diversity in the constituents of selfhood" (Dewey, 1922(Dewey, /1930.…”

“…Unlike his ideas about education and philosophy, which have continued to capture the minds of educators and neo-pragmatist philosophers, John Dewey's psychological ideas have been largely neglected (for notable exceptions, see Bredo, 1998Bredo, , 2003Manicas, 2002;Musolf, 2001). On the one hand, this is strange, since there is a rich and elaborated psychology in Dewey's works, which can be traced all the way back to his earliest years as a writer.…”

Unlike his ideas about education and philosophy, John Dewey's psychology has been largely neglected. This article begins the rediscovery of his transactional psychology by seeking a synthesizing reading of those of his works that pertain to psychology. The article first outlines his transactional approach and also his metapsychology, which conceived of psychology as involved in the constitution of its own subject matter. Then some central psychological concepts such as habit, thinking, self, mind, meaning, and consciousness are explained within the transactional framework, and some similarities are highlighted between Dewey's psychology and ecological psychology. It is argued that Dewey's psychology is still very relevant in the 21st century.

We provide a historical perspective toward the current public school practices of American sex education. The primary time frames include the progressive era (1880–1920), intermediate era (1920–1960), the sexual revolution era (1960s and 1970s), and the modern sex education era (1980s to the present). In each period, we highlight key developments that affect educators’ current decision making as public sex education continues to develop and morph in the context of contemporary society. We show that an apt understanding of sex education's past is critical for making prudent decisions about its future.
