More quotes by John Dewey
By object is meant some element in the complex whole that is defined in abstraction from the whole of which it is a distinction.
John Dewey
The conception of education as a social process and function has no definite meaning until we define the kind of society we have in mind.
John Dewey
Communication of science as subject-matter has so far outrun in education the construction of a scientific habit of mind that to some extent the natural common sense of mankind has been interfered with to its detriment.
John Dewey
Legislation is a matter of more or less intelligent improvisation aiming at palliating conditions by means of patchwork policies.
John Dewey
The need for growth, for development, for change, is fundamental to life.
John Dewey
That education is not an affair of telling and being told, but an active and constructive process, is a principle almost as generally violated in practice as conceded in theory. Is not this deplorable situation due to the fact that the doctrine is itself merely told? It is preached it is lectured it is written about.
John Dewey
All communication is like art. It may fairly be said, therefore, that any social arrangement that remains vitally social, or vitally shared, is educative to those who participate in it. Only when it becomes cast in a mold and runs in a routine way does it lose its educative power.
John Dewey
most notable distinction between living and inanimate beings is that the former maintain themselves by renewal.
John Dewey
Every teacher should realize the dignity of his calling.
John Dewey
When others are not doing what we would like them to or are threatening disobedience, we are most conscious of the need of controlling them and of the influences by which they are controlled.
John Dewey
Of what use, educationally speaking, is it to be able to see the end in the beginning?
John Dewey
Knowledge is no longer an immobile solid it has been liquefied. it is actively moving in all the currents of society itself
John Dewey
How can the child learn to be a free and responsible citizen when the teacher is bound?
John Dewey
I believe that in this way the teacher always is the prophet of the true God and the usherer in of the true kingdom of God.
John Dewey
We have lost confidence in reason because we have learned that man is chiefly a creature of habit and emotion.
John Dewey
The outstanding problem of the Public is discovery and identification of itself
John Dewey
All of us have many habits of whose import we are quite unaware, since they were formed without our knowing what we were about. Consequently they possess us, rather than we them. They move us they control us. Unless we become aware of what they accomplish, and pass judgment upon the worth of the result, we do not control them.
John Dewey
Continuity of life means continual readaptation of the environment to the needs of living organisms.
John Dewey
Education Proceeds ultimately from the patterns furnished by institutions, customs, and laws- If the patterns of institutions, customs, and laws are broken for this philosophy education should fix itself. There should be several different things taught instead of one Supreme Factor.
John Dewey
Traveling is a constant arriving, while arrival that precludes further traveling is most easily attained by going to sleep or dying.
John Dewey
