        The purpose of this study is to explain aesthetics from John Dewey's perspective and draw its educational implications. This research uses conceptual analysis and deduction as methods. The method of data collection is library-documentary and the analyzed documents include books, research backgrounds and related researches. Aesthetics, experience and knowledge are interrelated in Dewey's perspective. Dewey opposes any kind of dualities and advocates unity in aesthetics, experience and knowledge. The aesthetic experience is distinguished by features such as wholeness, immediacy, cohesion, and so on and knowledge is a part of aesthetics. The implications of Dewey's view of art education can be used in both curriculum and teaching. The implication for curriculum is an integrated viewpoint to art, focusing on the theoretical and practical aspect of art. The implication for teaching emphasizes on the connection between art education and pupil experiences and the emotional aspect of teacher-pupil interaction. Embracing diversity in teaching methods and paying attention to qualitative and process-based evaluation helps to promote art education. Manuscript profile

        Preconceptions and biases as problems and challenges in the process of people's thought face them with a lot of difficulties in analyzing, explaining, and interpreting affairs and issues. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of self-imposed exile to overcome the preconceptions of understanding based on Wittgenstein’s later thought and to draw its educational implications. This qualitative research utilized a descriptive, analytical, and interpretive method. In the first step, the definition of understanding from Wittgenstein's point of view is discussed, and in the next step, it is made clear how people's understanding and attitude depends on their "world-picture", and how its formation begins from the early stages of life. It is also argued that if the world-picture is a result of persuasion and does not meet the requirements of language games, one's thoughts and insights will be limited by preconceptions. Then, the self-imposed exile as a strategy derived from Wittgenstein's later philosophy is introduced as a solution in order to overcome the preconceptions and the spirit of the times. Finally, the effects and educational implications of self-imposed exile are inferred, and it is discussed how self-imposed exile would work effectively in order to overcome the preconceptions of thought.
