The aim of this paper is to recall a few ideas of John Dewey, related to the contemporary considerations of general education. It is mainly the question of the impact of significant social changes on educational practice and on creation of educational theory. The accelerating pace of development in both the economic and technical areas gives rise to new social needs. The impact of social environment one grows up in plays an increasingly larger role in educational theory. The paper notes that Dewey was the first to consider social environment to be the basis and driving force of the mental and emotional development of a child, a breeding ground for its future development and educational opportunities. Dewey's theory linking education with the analysis of social environment implies rejection of attempts at independence of pedagogy from other disciplines and philosophy. The text also recalls Dewey's view that the educational aspects are specific not only about the situations at school but also about everyday life. In the (post) modern times, however, the educational environment is constantly changing, and thus Dewey's question is still up to date: is it possible to define sound and promising educational objectives for constantly changing and diversified society?

Keywords: education, tradition, experience, practicality, living conditions, social changes, school
