Literary notes about educational (AI summary)
In literature, the term "educational" takes on a range of meanings that reflect both formal pedagogy and broader cultural, moral, or experiential lessons. For instance, in the works of John Dewey and his peers, "educational" is often used to denote systems of thought and practical methodologies about learning and societal development ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11]). In other texts, the word conveys an instructive or enlightening character on a more personal or social level, as seen in the nuanced depictions by authors such as Henry Adams, Charles Dickens, and Booker T. Washington, where educational experiences serve as a lens for critiquing social inequities and personal growth ([12], [13], [14], [15], [16]). Thus, across a spectrum of genres and historical periods, "educational" is employed not only to describe formal institutions and theories but also to capture the essence of learning and transformation as essential elements of human life.
