More quotes by John Dewey
As long as art is the beauty parlor of civilization, neither art nor civilization is secure.
John Dewey
Give the pupils something to do, not something to learn and the doing is of such a nature as to demand thinking learning naturally results.
John Dewey
To be a recipient of a communication is to have an enlarged and changed experience.
John Dewey
I believe that education is the fundamental method of social progress and reform.
John Dewey
All direction is but re-direction it shifts the activities already going on into another channel. Unless one is cognizant of the energies which are already in operation, one's attempts at direction will almost surely go amiss.
John Dewey
Faith in the possibilities of continued and rigorous inquiry does not limit access to truth to any channel or scheme of things. It does not first say that truth is universal and then add there is but one road to it.
John Dewey
Everything which bars freedom and fullness of communication sets up barriers that divide human beings into sets and cliques, into antagonistic sects and factions, and thereby undermines the democratic way of life.
John Dewey
A child may have to be snatched with roughness away from a fire so that he shall not be burnt.
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
There is no such thing as educational value in the abstract. The notion that some subjects and methods and that acquaintance with certain facts and truths possess educational value in and of themselves is the reason why traditional education reduced the material of education so largely to a diet of predigested materials.
John Dewey
It science involves an intelligent and persistent endeavor to revise current beliefs so as to weed out what is erroneous, to add to their accuracy, and, above all, to give them such shape that the dependencies of the various facts upon one another may be as obvious as possible.
John Dewey
All genuine learning comes through experience.
John Dewey
Every living being needs continually renewed, and education is simply the chief process by which renewal occurs.
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
The school has the function of coordinating within the disposition of each individual the diverse influences of the various social environments into which he enters.
John Dewey
By various agencies, unintentional and designed, a society transforms uninitiated and seemingly alien beings into robust trustees of its own resources and ideals. Education is thus a fostering, a nurturing, a cultivating, process.
John Dewey
There is more than a verbal tie between the words common, community, and communication.
John Dewey
Etymologically, the word education means just a process of leading or bringing up.
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
Since growth is the characteristic of life, education is all one with growing it has no end beyond itself. The criterion of the value of school education is the extent in which it creates a desire for continuous growth and supplies means for making the desire effective in fact.
John Dewey
