The need for growth, for development, for change, is fundamental to life.

John Dewey 386 quotes

The aim of education is to enable individuals to continue their education ... (and) the object and reward of learning is continued capacity for growth. Now this idea cannot be applied to all the members of a society except where intercourse of man with man is mutual, and except where there is adequate provision for the reconstruction of social habits and institutions by means of wide stimulation arising from equitably distributed interests. And this means a democratic society.

Conflict is the gadfly of thought. It stirs us to observation and memory. It instigates invention. It shocks us out of sheep-like passivity, and sets us at noting and contriving…conflict is a sine qua non of reflection and ingenuity.

The first step in freeing men from external chains was to emancipate them from the internal chains of false beliefs and ideals.

John Dewey 386 quotes

From the standpoint of the child, the great waste in the school comes from his inability to utilize the experiences he gets outside the school in any complete and free way within the school itself; while, on the other hand, he is unable to apply in daily life what he is learning at school. That is the isolation of the school — its isolation from life.

a problem well put is half solved.

John Dewey 386 quotes

We never educate directly, but indirectly by means of the environment. Whether we permit chance environments to do the work, or whether we design environments for the purpose makes a great difference.

John Dewey 386 quotes

Talk of democracy has little content when big business rules the life of the country through its control of the means of production, exchange, the press and other means of publicity, propaganda and communication.

John Dewey 386 quotes

Education is not an affair of 'telling' and being told, but an active and constructive process.

John Dewey 386 quotes

If we teach today’s students as we taught yesterday’s, we rob them of tomorrow.

John Dewey 386 quotes

The real process of education should be the process of learning to think through the application of real problems.

All genuine education comes about through experience.

John Dewey 386 quotes

The school must be "a genuine form of active community life, instead of a place set apart in which to learn lessons".

John Dewey 386 quotes

Were all instructors to realize that the quality of mental process, not the production of correct answers, is the measure of educative growth something hardly less than a revolution in teaching would be worked.

Schools should take an active part in directing social change, and share in the construction of a new social order

John Dewey 386 quotes

Art is not the possession of ...

Art is not the possession of the few who are recognized writers, painters, musicians; it is the authentic expression of any and all individuality.

John Dewey 386 quotes

There is no god and there is ...

There is no god and there is no soul. Hence, there is no need for the props of traditional religion. With dogma and creed excluded, then immutable truth is dead and buried. There is no room for fixed and natural law or permanent moral absolutes.

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 386 quotes

I believe that the teacher's ...

I believe that the teacher's place and work in the school is to be interpreted from this same basis. The teacher is not in the school to impose certain ideas or to form certain habits in the child, but is there as a member of the community to select the influences which shall affect the child and to assist him in properly responding to these influences.

John Dewey 386 quotes

Such happiness as life is capable of comes from the full participation of all our powers in the endeavor to wrest from each changing situations of experience its own full and unique meaning.
