What is my educational creed, Dewey?
Dewey said: "All education is carried out through personal participation in human social consciousness. This process begins almost unconsciously at birth. " The only real education comes from the stimulation of children's ability, which is caused by the various requirements of children to feel their social situation. Dewey believes that education is a practical process in which students actively participate in society, transform reality, experience process and feelings, and share the accumulated wisdom and moral wealth of mankind in this process. To do this, we must deeply understand the inner strength of children. He pointed out: "This educational process has two aspects: one is psychological and the other is sociological. Both are based on psychology. Without in-depth observation of individual psychological structure and activities, the process of education will become accidental and random. If it happens to be consistent with the child's activities, it can play a role; If not, then you will encounter resistance, disharmony, or constrain the child's nature. "

"I think that educated individuals are individuals in society, and society is an organic combination of many individuals. If we take social factors away from children, we will only have an abstract thing left; If we give up personal factors from the social aspect, we will only have a rigid and lifeless collective. Therefore, education must start from the psychological exploration of children's energy, interests and habits. "
