“…School socialization through occupations would channel the experimental quality found in workshops, industrial production, and scientific laboratories towards the fulfillment of social aims that, in this case, the whole school community-children, teachers, even parents-would have previously deliberated on, agreed upon, and designed. On the other hand, occupations were equally distant from the economical, profit-oriented emphasis of vocational education (Boostrom 2016) and from the elitist and fleshless theoretical production that characterized academia. "With school occupations," Dewey (1915Dewey ( /2001 explained, the aim is not the economic value of the products, but the development of social power and insight.…”

This article aims to establish a line of continuity between John Dewey's democratic and educational ideals and the practice of action research, to justify that the latter affords an adequate means to enact Dewey's ideals against the destructive challenges that neoliberalism poses to democracy today. This aim involves three ideas that will be developed in three corresponding sections. After the Introduction, the first section analyzes at length the main tenets of Dewey's thoughts about democracy by emphasizing the role of the educational dimension. The article then approaches neoliberalism by focusing on one of its variants, New Public Management, and explains why the latter implies a direct erasure of Dewey's ideals concerning democracy, individual growth, education, and social advancement. Finally, the third section turns to action research and its potential to encourage our societies to move closer to Dewey's democratic ideals, and suggests that action research can begin to fill the gap that Dewey's work left concerning the institutional dimension of democracy.

“…With a focus on social interaction and personally relevant learning in particular, this historicallythemed critical paper has raised some demanding questions about the extent to which some of Dewey's main curriculum planning and pedagogical ideas have relevance and traction for the purposes and teaching of contemporary physical education. In taking forward, this remit, the paper has tried to overtake Boostrom's (2016) concern that Dewey is more cited than read with references adding little more than a decorative flourish to proceedings. The reappraisal of the Gary Schools and New Physical Education plans from the early to mid-twentieth century revealed that neither initiative could withstand the ramifications of economic liberalism.…”

“…25 e 31). Muito citado, mas pouco seguido, Dewey revela-se frequentemente um símbolo de status académico, uma fonte de autoridade pedagógica mais ou menos tranquilizadora em termos de certos valores., E, no entanto, a sua ausência substantiva nos atuais discursos políticos é clara, num momento em que que se perdeu a fé na escola pública e também mesmo na democracia -e não apenas no seu país de origem (Boostrom, 2016) -e em que o contrato social foi objeto de um processo de erosão, acompanhado de um declínio da participação democrática (Waks, 2007). No contexto de novos nacionalismos e populismos, Dewey emerge como uma inspiração universalista, internacionalista e cosmopolita, marcado que foi pelos nacionalismos beligerantes das duas grandes guerras e tendo optado pela tradição do esclarecimento com um fundo intercultural democrático (ver Oliverio et al, 2016).…”

As relações entre democracia e educação são um tema clássico não só no campo das teorias da democracia mas também no pensamento educacional moderno. O presente artigo segue essa tradição de investigação relativamente a Democracia e Educação, livro de John Dewey, compreendendo ainda o estudo de cinco obras anteriores e de cinco obras posteriores a 1916, data de publicação daquele livro clássico. Baseado numa sociologia política da educação, o autor problematiza as concepções de democracia e de participação de Dewey e toma-as como referência para a compreensão das políticas educacionais em tempos de crise da educação democrática. Sob políticas baseadas na educação, formação e aprendizagem para a competitividade económica e a busca global por talentos, de acordo com os valores do novo gerencialismo, do espírito empreendedor e da meritocracia, a crise atual da democracia na educação e a perda de confiança na escola pública parecem mais próximas de uma pós-democracia e de formas mínimas de participação do que dos ideais educativos de democracia, participação e liberdade propostos por Dewey há mais de um século.
