More quotes by John Dewey
Doctrine that eliminates or even obscures the function of choice of values and enlistment of desires and emotions in behalf of those chosen weakens personal responsibility for judgment and for action. It thus helps create the attitudes that welcome and support the totalitarian state.
John Dewey
Experience, in short, is not a combination of mind and world, subject and object, method and subject matter, but is a single continuous interaction of a great diversity (literally countless in number) of energies.
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
If the eye is constantly greeted by harmonious objects, having elegance of form and color, a standard of taste naturally grows up.
John Dewey
The interaction of knowledge and skills with experience is key to learning.
John Dewey
Always make the other person feel important.
John Dewey
Experience alone cannot deliver to us necessary truths truths completely demonstrated by reason. Its conclusions are particular, not universal.
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
The real process of education should be the process of learning to think through the application of real problems.
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
Each generation is inclined to educate its young so as to get along in the present world instead of with a view to the proper end of education: the promotion of the best possible realization of humanity as humanity. Parents educate their children so that they may get on princes educate their subjects as instruments of their own purpose.
John Dewey
Any education given by a group tends to socialize its members, but the quality and the value of the socialization depends upon the habits and aims of the group. Hence, once more, the need of a measure for the worth of any given mode of social life.
John Dewey
The reactionaries are in possession of force, in not only the army and police, but in the press and the schools
John Dewey
Within even the most social group there are many relations that are not as yet social.
John Dewey
The acquisition however perfectly of skills is not an end in itself. They are things to be put to use as a contribution to a common and shared life.
John Dewey
Education, in its broadest sense, is the means of this social continuity of life.
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
How can the child learn to be a free and responsible citizen when the teacher is bound?
John Dewey
I do not think that any thorough-going modification of college curriculum would be possible without a modification of the methods of instruction.
John Dewey
Even in a savage tribe, the achievements of adults are far beyond what the immature members would be capable of if left to themselves. With the growth of civilization, the gap between the original capacities of the immature and the standards and customs of the elders increases.
John Dewey
