Abstract
This article concerns the turn-of-the-century educational reform in North America and Europe. It documents the influence of European educational thought and practice on the work of John Dewey and the influence of Dewey's ideas on European education in three different countries: Turkey, Russia, and the Netherlands. Dewey's case suggests that resemblances between educational reform in Europe and North America can partly be explained by the existence of a common theoretical background. Dewey's case further makes clear that no general statements about the influence of Progressivism can be made but that a context-specific approach is needed.
