Who suggested that teaching is growth?
Education is growth, which is one of the viewpoints of Dewey, a famous American pragmatic educator in the 20th century. Based on his biological psychology, Dewey believes that children's psychological content is basically a process of continuous development and growth of natural psychological functions such as habits, emotions, impulses and wisdom with instinctive activities as the core. Growth is a core term in Dewey's educational theory system. Growth is "a movement towards later results and gradually moving forward." From this perspective, education is to promote the growth of this instinct. He clearly pointed out: "Education is growth, and it has no other purpose except itself. If we want to measure the value of school education, we should see whether it can create a persistent desire for growth and whether it can provide a way to make this desire grow.
