Abstract
John Dewey, an American philosopher and educator, was invited to visit the Republic of China on April 30, 1919. Attracted by the May 4th Movement and consequent social changes in China, Dewey stayed in China until August 2, 1921, mainly delivering talks or lectures in China. During his visit, he promoted his pragmatism which was widely accepted and became popular in the new wave of educational thoughts, reform and improvement that time in China. One hundred years later, Dewey's visit to China was studied again by researchers in China to continuously explore his influence on Chinese education. This article reviews the latest studies on his visit to China.
