John Dewey was an American philosopher, psychologist and educational reformer born in 1859 who developed the philosophy of pragmatism. Some key ideas from Dewey's philosophy included that education is not preparation for life but is life itself, learning occurs through experience and doing, and the school is a social institution focused on the growth of the child. Dewey believed education should be democratic, adaptive to individual needs, use natural settings for learning, and focus on improving the quality of living. His ideas significantly influenced progressive education and how we approach teaching and learning today.

Constructivism a Methodical Learning ApproachRajeev Ranjan
Constructivism is a valid teaching strategy that employs five basic “Es” that is ‘engagement’, ‘exploration’, ‘explanation’, ‘elaboration’, and ‘evaluation’. Educators prime duty to facilitate learning opportunities for students. In fact, a great facilitator who handles the 21st century global learners should be wise enough to facilitates learning in the class considering the pressure of 21st century learner’s smartness, who operates very sophisticated software and apps but least interested in classroom learning.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
