Five goals of American education: Pruducing students who are
- literate
- understand the sciences
- have a sense of health
- have as sense of ethnics
- have a sense of citizenship
John Dewey advocated progressive education:
- I believe that education, therefore, is a process of living and not a preparation for future living.
- I believe that the school must represent present life——life as real and vital to the child as that which he carries on in the home, in the neighborhood, or on the playground.
- I believe that much of present education fails because it neglects this fundamental principle of the school as a form of community life. It conceives the school as a place where certain information is to be given; where certain lessons are to be learned, or where certain habits are to be formed.The value of these is conceived as lying largely in the remote future the child must do these things for the sake of something else he is to do; they are mere preparation. as a result they do not become a part of life experience of the child and so are not truly educative.
- I believe that the teacher is not in the school to impose certain ideas 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.
- I believe that the only true education comes through the stimulation of the child's powers by the demands of the social situation in which he finds himself.
- I believe that this educational process has two sides——one psychological and one sociological.
如果教师一定要讲授那些影响学生基本知识结构的课，最好等到自己和孩子建立信任和亲密无间的友情之后才开始这些课程的学习。这也许需要教师以一种相当微妙的方式和学生们坦诚相见。
教师做示范，全班do group work or pair work，体现教育的公平性。自己也轻松，还给学生更多的机会。
