John Dewey on Psychology - Dictionary of Arguments
Suhr I 31 Education/Tradition: Knowledge comes from the outside and needs to be trained or drilled. Authority of the elders rules. It is ultimately divine revelation. "Ability". I 32 Education/Psychology/Dewey: Children are already equipped with knowledge and only need to be awakened. Interest needs not to be controlled. Psychology of abilities: ability psychology is the doctrine that the human possesses different abilities, e.g. memory, reason, accuracy, the ability to distinguish, imagination, etc. Each ability is allegedly a separate existing characteristic. E.g. the ability of remembering remembers itself, not the person remembers something. Every ability can and must be exercised on its own, irrespective of its content. I 33 Biological Psychology/Dewey: (goes back to William James): biological psychology focuses on the biological interaction with the environment. The child is a self, not simply an intelligent animal. It has goals. The child is always active. >W. James. I 57 Education/Psychology/Dewey: All dualistic theories of education have in common that they regard the goal as fundamentally finished and see a dynamic only in the fact that either the substance determines the form, or the form the substance. (Either the mind the world or the world the mind.) >Education. I 57 Abilities/DeweyVsAbility psychology: There is no "ability per se", but only in connection with a task! Forces are the results of the employment of congenital tendencies with certain contents. I 62 Def Education/Dewey: Education is constant reconstruction. The reorganization of experience which increases its importance and increases the ability to guide the course of the following experience._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
