More quotes by John Dewey
What's in a question, you ask? Everything. It is evoking stimulating response or stultifying inquiry. It is, in essence, the very core of teaching.
John Dewey
The school must be a genuine form of active community life, instead of a place set apart in which to learn lessons.
John Dewey
Things gain meaning by being used in a shared experience or joint action.
John Dewey
The phrase think for one's self is a pleonasm. Unless one does it for one's self, it isn't thinking.
John Dewey
To savages it would seem preposterous to seek out a place where nothing but learning was going on in order that one might learn.
John Dewey
The need for growth, for development, for change, is fundamental to life.
John Dewey

John Dewey
Men have never fully used [their] powers to advance the good in life, because they have waited upon some power external to themselves and to nature to do the work they are responsible for doing.
John Dewey

John Dewey
We rarely recognize the extent in which our conscious estimates of what is worth while and what is not, are due to standards of which we are not conscious at all.
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
Perhaps the greatest of all pedagogical fallacies is the notion that a person learns only the particular thing he is studying at the time.
John Dewey
Change as change is mere flux and lapse it insults intelligence. Genuinely to know is to grasp a permanent end that realizes itself through changes.
John Dewey
If all meanings could be adequately expressed by words, the arts of painting and music would not exist.
John Dewey
It has been petrified into a slavery of thought and sentiment, as intolerant superiority on the part of the few and an intolerable burden on the part of the many.
John Dewey
The real process of education should be the process of learning to think through the application of real problems.
John Dewey
All education which develops power to share effectively in social life is moral.
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
