More quotes by John Dewey
Education, in its broadest sense, is the means of this social continuity of life.
John Dewey
Schools should take an active part in directing social change, and share in the construction of a new social order
John Dewey
Without some goals and some efforts to reach it, no man can live.
John Dewey
If the members who compose a society lived on continuously, they might educate the new-born members, but it would be a task directed by personal interest rather than social need. Now it is a work of necessity.
John Dewey
Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination.
John Dewey
Thinking and feeling that have to do with action in association with others is as much a social mode of behavior as is the most overt cooperative or hostile act.
John Dewey
The real process of education should be the process of learning to think through the application of real problems.
John Dewey
There is more than a verbal tie between the words common, community, and communication.
John Dewey
Nature as a whole is a progressive realization of purpose strictly comparable to the realization of purpose in any single plant or animal.
John Dewey
The empiric easily degenerates into the quack. He does not know where his knowledge begins or leaves off, and so when he gets beyond routine conditions he begins to pretend-to make claims for which there is no justification, and to trust to luck and to ability to impose upon others-to bluff.
John Dewey
Not only does social life demand teaching and learning for its own permanence, but the very process of living together educates. It enlarges and enlightens experience it stimulates and enriches imagination it creates responsibility for accuracy and vividness of statement and thought.
John Dewey
Vocational training is the training of animals or slaves. It fits them to become cogs in the industrial machine. Free men need liberal education to prepare them to make a good use of their freedom.
John Dewey
The educational process has no end beyond itself it is its own end.
John Dewey
The intimation never wholly deserts us that there is, in the unformed activities of childhood and youth, the possibilities of a better life for the community as well as for individuals here and there. This dim sense is the ground of our abiding idealization of childhood.
John Dewey
Arriving at one goal is the starting point to another.
John Dewey
Human nature exists and operates in an environment. And it is not 'in' that environment as coins are in a box, but as a plant is in the sunlight and soil.
John Dewey
The educative value of manual activities and of laboratory exercises, as well as of play, depends upon the extent in which they aid in bringing about a sensing of the meaning of what is going on. In effect, if not in name, they are dramatizations.
John Dewey
We can have facts without thinking but we cannot have thinking without facts.
John Dewey
Thought is impossible without words.
John Dewey
Education is not an affair of 'telling' and being told, but an active and constructive process.
John Dewey
