What does Dewey mean by "education is growth"?
Education is growth, which is based on the theory of growth. It is emphasized that correct education must begin with the study of children's psychology and should provide children with opportunities to vividly show their vitality. This requires that education should not be a simple indoctrination, but should be based on the natural ability of the educated, making it a growth process of children's own instincts, interests and abilities.
