Investigating education and training in societies based on ideology and historical beliefs, while analyzing it and comparing it to other views and persuasions, is a useful experience in achieving a proper, growing and advanced model based on training beliefs in the society.
Accordingly, the present article - aiming at analyzing and explaining the ideas put forwarded by Mulla Ahmad Naraqi (Persian and Islamic scholar) on training and comparing them to views presented by John Dewey (the great pragmatist expositor) - has studied this subject.
To achieve the goals of the study, the comparative method and analysis of the documents have been used to gather, describe and compare data.
After a review and comparison of the ideas of these two thinkers according to historical bases and persuasions, the results showed differences and similarities between Naraqiʹs view and that of Dewey. The basis for disagreement between these tow thinkers is their views on human as the subject of training. Naraqi regards human as a being composed of soul and body, while Dewey considers him purely material.
The findings of the study as to their bases have naturally affected their goals, as well as the contents and the training methods used by them, though there are similarities in methods and stating the goals, which have been dealt with in this article.
