ABSTRACT

The deweyan dramatic rehearsal is examined by clarifying and detecting its meaning, its features, and its significance in thinking. Dewey refers to the practical thinking for making moral choices or decisions as a ‘moral deliberation,’ which indicates not the inner episode within a niche of the human mind, such as ‘introspection,’ but a way of conduct. This is because the deliberating persons may change the world by making choices, while affected by the deliberated contents or objects and transformed in themselves. Dewey calls such a moral deliberation the ‘dramatic rehearsal’ in that the possible courses of conduct be imaginatively experienced, and thus, dramatically rehearsed. The activity of thinking amounting to the practical conduct may render great service to finding the educational problems of critical thinking, and solving them. It will be tested how the deweyan dramatic rehearsal be utilized for the purposes of educational learning, theoretical development, and life management.
