Just because life signifies n...

Just because life signifies not bare passive existence (supposing there is such a thing), but a way of acting, environment or medium signifies what enters into this activity as a sustaining or frustrating condition.

John Dewey 386 quotes

Experiences in order to be ed...

Experiences in order to be educative must lead out into an expanding world of subject matter, a subject matter of facts or information and of ideas. This condition is satisfied only as the educator views teaching and learning as a continuous process of reconstruction of experience.

John Dewey 386 quotes

We have advanced far enough t...

We have advanced far enough to say that democracy is a way of life. We have yet to realize that it is a way of personal life and one which provides a moral standard for personal conduct.

John Dewey 386 quotes

The future of our civilisatio...

The future of our civilisation depends upon the widening spread and deepening hold of the scientific habit of mind.

John Dewey 386 quotes

The imagination is the medium...

The imagination is the medium of appreciation in every field. The engagement of the imagination is the only thing that makes any activity more than mechanical. Unfortunately, it is too customary to identify the imaginative with the imaginary, rather than with a warm and intimate taking in of the full scope of a situation.

John Dewey 386 quotes

Intelligent thinking means an...

Intelligent thinking means an increment of freedom in action-an emancipation from chance and fatality. 'Thought' represents the suggestion of a way of response that is different from that which would have been followed if intelligent observation had not effected an inference as to the future.

John Dewey 386 quotes

The struggle for democracy ha...

The struggle for democracy has to be maintained on as many fronts as culture has aspects: political, economic, international, educational, scientific and artistic, religious.

John Dewey 386 quotes

The central problem of an education based upon experience is to select the kind of present experience that live fruitfully and creatively in subsequent experiences.

John Dewey 386 quotes

Every teacher should realize ...

Every teacher should realize he is a social servant set apart for the maintenance of the proper social order and the securing of the right social growth. 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

A man really living alone (al...

A man really living alone (alone mentally as well as physically) would have little or no occasion to reflect upon his past experience to extract its net meaning.

John Dewey 386 quotes

As long as art is the beauty parlor of civilization, neither art nor civilization is secure.

John Dewey 386 quotes

The development occurs through reciprocal give-and-take, the teacher taking but not being afraid also to give.

John Dewey 386 quotes

No thought, no idea, can poss...

No thought, no idea, can possibly be conveyed as an idea from one person to another. When it is told it is to the one to whom it is told another fact, not an idea. The communication may stimulate the other person to realize the question for himself and to think out a like idea, or it may smother his intellectual interest and suppress his dawning effort at thought. But what he directly gets cannot be an idea. Only by wrestling with the conditions of the problem at first hand, seeking and finding his own way out, does he think.

John Dewey 386 quotes

There is no discipline in the world so severe as the discipline of experience subjected to the tests of intelligent development and direction.

John Dewey 386 quotes

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 386 quotes

In the olden times, the diver...

In the olden times, the diversity of groups was largely a geographical matter. There were many societies, but each, within its own territory, was comparatively homogeneous. But with the development of commerce, transportation, intercommunication, and emigration, countries like the United States are composed of a combination of different groups with different traditional customs. It is this situation which has, perhaps more than any other one cause, forced the demand for an educational institution which shall provide something like a homogeneous and balanced environment for the young.

John Dewey 386 quotes

Without initiation into the s...

Without initiation into the scientific spirit one is not in possession of the best tools which humanity has so far devised for effectively directed reflection. One in that case not merely conducts inquiry and learning without the use of the best instruments, but fails to understand the full meaning of knowledge.

John Dewey 386 quotes

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 386 quotes

Teaching can be compared to s...

Teaching can be compared to selling commodities. No one can sell unless someone buys ... yet there are teachers who think they have done a good day's teaching irrespective of what the pupils have learned.

John Dewey 386 quotes

Nature as a whole is a progre...

Nature as a whole is a progressive realization of purpose strictly comparable to the realization of purpose in any single plant or animal.
