More quotes by 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
Etymologically, the word education means just a process of leading or bringing up.
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
Anyone who has begun to think, places some portion of the world in jeopardy.
John Dewey
Since in reality there is nothing to which growth is relative save more growth, there is nothing to which education is subordinate save more education.
John Dewey
A response is not just a re-action, a protest, as it were, against being disturbed it is, as the word indicates, an answer. It meets the stimulus, and corresponds with it.
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
How can the child learn to be a free and responsible citizen when the teacher is bound?
John Dewey
Since education is not a means to living, but is identical with the operation of living a life which is fruitful and inherently significant, the only ultimate value which can be set up is just the process of living itself. And this is not an end to which studies and activities are subordinate means it is the whole of which they are ingredients.
John Dewey
The real process of education should be the process of learning to think through the application of real problems.
John Dewey
The most important attitude that can be formed is that of desire to go on learning.
John Dewey
A good aim surveys the present state of experience of pupils, and forming a tentative plan of treatment, keeps the plan constantly in view and yet modifies it as conditions develop. The aim, in short, is experimental, and hence constantly growing as it is tested in action.
John Dewey
Education is not preparation for life education is life itself.
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
Despite the never ending play of conscious correction and instruction, the surrounding atmosphere and spirit is in the end the chief agent in forming manners.
John Dewey
The educational process has no end beyond itself it is its own end.
John Dewey
Education as growth or maturity should be an ever-present process.
John Dewey
Selection aims not only at simplifying but at weeding out what is undesirable.
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
Every one of the constituent elements of a social group, in a modern city as in a savage tribe, is born immature, helpless, without language, beliefs, ideas, or social standards. Each individual, each unit who is the carrier of the life-experience of his group, in time passes away. Yet the life of the group goes on.
John Dewey
