THEORIES
"True education comes through the simulation of the child's power by the demands of the social situations in which he finds him self"(5)(Theories of Childhood 2nd edition)
John Dewey believed children would learn best when they interact with others, working side by side hands on.
"The child's own instincts and powers furnish the material and give the starting-point for all education"(6)(Theories of Childhood 2nd edition)
-
"I believe that education, therefore, is a process of living and not a preparation for the future living"(8)(Theories of Childhood 2nd edition)
According to Dewey he thought education was apart of life, as long as people are living they're learning. The learning process should be relevant to present day.
"The school life should grow gradually out of home life...It is the business of the school to deepen and extend his[the child's] sense of the values bound up in his home life"(9) (Theories of Childhood 2nd edition)
Teacher's should be thoughtful and considerate of the families values and needs. As well as the families cultures.
"I believe, finally, that the teacher is engaged, not simply in the training of individuals, but in the formation of the proper social life"(17)(Theories of Childhood 2nd edition)
According to Dewey, teachers do not only teach a topic, but also teach how to live in the real world.
