There are several factors influencing education by looking at the history of education and the nature of supplying social efficiency, and cultural aim. Dewey´s Philosophy of education was discussed with the purpose of education and experiences, the teacher and child, and how these principles align with the ideology of an IB education. The conclusion highlights that a connection exists between the various IB profiles focussing on the students being risk-takers, open-minded, principled, reflective, thinkers, inquirers and balanced and the educational philosophy of Dewey.
