The conduct of schools, based upon a new order of conception, is so much more difficult than is the management of schools which walk the beaten path.

John Dewey 386 quotes

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 386 quotes

The experience has to be formulated in order to be communicated.

John Dewey 386 quotes

We have three approaches at o...

We have three approaches at our disposal: the observation of nature, reflection, and experimentation. Observation serves to assemble the data, reflection to synthesise them and experimentation to test the results of the synthesis. The observation of nature must be assiduous, just as reflection must be profound, and experimentation accurate. These three approaches are rarely found together, which explains why creative geniuses are so rare.

John Dewey 386 quotes

To "learn from experience" is...

To "learn from experience" is to make a backward and forward connection between what we do to things and what we enjoy or suffer from things in consequence.

John Dewey 386 quotes

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 386 quotes

Everything which bars freedom...

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 386 quotes

In a world that has so largel...

In a world that has so largely engaged in a mad and often brutally harsh race for material gain by means of ruthless competition, it behooves the school to make ceaseless and intelligently organized effort to develop above all else the will for co-operation and the spirit which sees in every other individual one who has an equal right to share in the cultural and material fruits of collective human invention, industry, skill and knowledge

John Dewey 386 quotes

The devotion of democracy to ...

The devotion of democracy to education is a familiar fact. The superficial explanation is that a government resting upon popular suffrage cannot be successful unless those who elect and who obey their governors are educated. Since a democratic society repudiates the principle of external authority, it must find a substitute in voluntary disposition and interest; these can be created only by education.

John Dewey 386 quotes

Every serious-minded person knows that a large part of the effort required in moral discipline consists in the courage needed to acknowledge the unpleasant consequences of one's past and present acts.

John Dewey 386 quotes

It requires troublesome work to undertake the alteration of old beliefs.

John Dewey 386 quotes

If a person cannot foresee th...

If a person cannot foresee the consequences of his act, and is not capable of understanding what he is told about its outcome by those with more experience, it is impossible for him to guide his act intelligently. In such a state, every act is alike to him.

John Dewey 386 quotes

Purposeful action is thus the goal of all that is truly educative.

John Dewey 386 quotes

That which distinguishes the ...

That which distinguishes the Soviet system both from other national systems and from the progressive schools of other countries is the conscious control of every educational procedure by reference to a single and comprehensive social purpose.

John Dewey 386 quotes

What the best and wisest parent wants for his own child, that must the community want for all of its children.

John Dewey 386 quotes

A large part of the art of instruction lies in making the difficulty of new problems large enough to challenge thought, and small enough so that, in addition to the confusion naturally attending the novel elements, there shall be luminous familiar spots from which helpful suggestions may spring.

John Dewey 386 quotes

Every great advance in scienc...

Every great advance in science has issued from a new audacity of imagination. What are now working conceptions, employed as a matter of course because they have withstood the tests of experiment and have emerged triumphant, were once speculative hypotheses.

John Dewey 386 quotes

All direction is but re-direc...

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 386 quotes

All education which develops ...

All education which develops power to share effectively in social life is moral.

John Dewey 386 quotes

Any genuine teaching will result, if successful, in someone's knowing how to bring about a better condition of things than existed earlier.
