Finally, the article seeks to link Dewey’s thought with the educational and humanistic praxis of the Costa Rican educator. The purpose of this essay is to offer a philosophical perspective on how Dewey’s pragmatism and his concept of the school as a laboratory influenced the idea of the educational institution developed by Gamboa.
