"The principal goal of education is to create men who are capable of doing new things, not simply of repeating what other generations have done-- men who are crative, inventive and discoverers. " I need to document which book or article Piaget said this in for a thesis I am working on.  Help!

I'm not sure if it has a name but the current trend is to teach "skills for lifelong learning". The idea is to get kids to "learn how to learn" so I guess that involves searching for resources, exploring what kind of information is out there, evaluating information critically, integrating information etc.

C'mon people, let's be constructive.......poor lolit is just trying to get some help!  \n\nI would suggest going from a general topic and then getting more and more specific.  So, maybe your general topic is:\n\nAcademic Achievement\n\nThen you read a few articles on the topic and see some that have looked at the relationship between academic achievement and parental involvement--but with conflicting results!  \n\nThen, you read a few articles on academic achievment and parental involvement, get an idea about what kind of research is being conducted, and maybe you see that nobody has compared the effects of parental involvement on student acheivement across races......so now we are getting more specific....race and the relationship between academic achievement parental involvement. \n\nThen, you remember that minority groups often have lower achievment than majority groups......hmmmm, now we are getting very specific......what about a study on the relationship between parental involvement and student achievement among African American or Hispanic students?  \n\nAnyway, that is just an example, but the idea is to start with a general topic---a broad area you are interested in....then get more and more specific until you arrive at your specific study!  \n\nAnother good hint is to look at the end of published studies....they often have a paragraph or two on future research directions/unanswered questions (just as you will eventually have in your thesis)---these can be really good for generating ideas.  \n\nGood luck!

"A teacher is never a giver of truth - he is a guide, a pointer to the truth that each student must find for himself. A good teacher is merely a catalyst."\n\nUnfortunately, I can't find a source for this quote. But it's listed under the quotes section of his IMDb biography:\nhttp://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000045/bio\n\nMore Bruce Lee quotes:\nhttp://thinkexist.com/quotes/Bruce_Lee/

I'm not sure about the "talented tenth" part. I think what he intended to say was that education must be for the soul...to develop the inner-person, and not simply impart superficial knowledge or skill. \n\nBut...\n\nI don't think that education is limited to a portion of the people...it is meant for all.\n\nGood luck with your homework

Try searching sparknotes.com, they have actual text and summary

This is homework, yes? Please do this yourself. The idea is for you to reaearch yourself, write it yourself and actually learn something from the activity.\nIf we do it for you, we are taking that experience away from you.\n\nEdit: Wish you had said that in the beginning.

It's a great statement and clearly shows what you're going to prove/show, but it doesn't provide a map. \n\nLook at the following link's example - I've copied the text (off that page) that closely resembles where your statement is *right now.*\n\n>>Use specific language.\nYou decide to explain what you mean about “the environment,” so you write:\n\nExperts estimate that half of crack babies will grow up in home environments lacking rich cognitive and emotional stimulation.\n\nThis statement is specific, but it isn’t a thesis. It merely reports a statistic instead of making an assertion.<<\n\nTry to provide another phrase that tells *how* perseverance will provide the foundation. "Perseverance" really *is* "self-determination," in a sense. Otherwise, it sounds like a terrific topic, and I'm guessing your paper is going to be strong.\n\nTry something like this:\n\n"Through perseverance (or self-determination), one will provide himself/herself the foundation to accomplish his/her dreams." You'll need to decide what to do with the gender pronouns, and you may want to flesh it out a bit more, but you see how I provided the map ("Through perseverance,"). Also, it's more active than passive.\n\nGood luck!

The first step for a guy like me was to look up the word "paradigm" in Webster's to see what it means. I realized when I read the definition that I understood the principal and could think of examples. I had therefore learned what a "paradigm" is. And you, by posing the question, had taught me. Presto, the paradigm of teaching and learning was formed!\nI don't know how to explain it but it just happened. Cool!\nYou go girl! And let us know how you do with your essay.

I Made A Difference in the Life of A Child\n"A hundred years from now, it will not matter what\nmy bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the\nkind of clothes I wore. But the world may be a different place\nbecause I made a difference in the life of a child."\n\nI searched various sites, but it appears to be by "Anonymous" since everyone seems at liberty to use it anywhere.

story from the little box:-\n\nIt's meaningful....\n\nOnce upon a time, there was a teacher and his student lying down under a big tree near a big grass area. Then, suddenly, the student asked the teacher,\n\nStudent : Teacher, I'm confused, how can we find our soul-mate? Could you please help me?\n\nTeacher : (Silent for few second, than he answered)\n\nWell, it's a pretty hard and easy question.\n\nStudent : (Thinking hard) Huh???\n\nTeacher : Look on that way, there are a lot of grass there, why don't you walk there but please never walk backward, just walk straight ahead. On your way, try to find a beautiful grass and pick it up then give it to me. But just one.\n\nStudent : Well, ok then... wait for me... (walked straight ahead to the grass field).\n\nA few minutes later...\n\nStudent : I'm back.\n\nTeacher : Em, well I don't see any beautiful grass on your hand.\n\nStudent : On my journey, I found few beautiful grass, but I thought that I would find a better one, so I didn't pick it up. But I didn't realize that I'm at the end of the field, and I hadn't picked up any. Because you told me not to go back, so I didn't go back.\n\nTeacher : That's what happened in real life.\n\nWhat is the message of this story?\n\n* Grass - is people around you\n* Beautiful Grass - is people that attract you\n* Grass Field - is time\n* In looking for your soulmate, please don't always\ncompare and hope that there will be a better one. By\ndoing that, you'll waste your lifetime, cause remember\n\n"Time Never Goes Back".\n\nIt applies the same in finding your ideal life partner, your suitable career or business, therefore the morale is LOVE & grab hold of the opportunity that you have now, don't waste time!

"Brilliant school." Now there is an oxymoron.\n\nEDIT: I'm sorry. I suppose that was rude and cynical. Tell me about your brilliant new school.

A great quote...\n\n"I use the word "breeder" to insult people who wrap\nthemselves in the cloak of heterosexuality in order to show\noff the supremacy of their "life style" over mine or use it\nas a protection against AIDS.  The breeders of this world\nhave seen fit to produce offspring, but deny them them a\nchance to develop a positive self-image by erasing the lives\nof my sisters and brothers from textbooks, school education\nin general, media and so on.  So many brothers and sisters\ndie in vain because the breeders are against safer sex\neducation, which would "promote promiscuity." I say we\nshould be promiscuous, we should enjoy sex and stop\nbreeding.  If our planet is to survive, we need to stop\nprocreating." -- Jari Junikka

Please view the website that I have listed.  While most of the materials are for older students and adults, maybe some of the activities can be adapted for preschool children.  \n\nInstead of using the basic "study circles" format maybe the students could do art projects to talk about their community and feelings.  Or, plan activities where the students have to work together to figure out puzzles or play games.  Once you get children started they usually figure out things on their own.  I've worked with young students for the past few years through the organization Junior Achievement, its not directly related this organization taught students about entrepreneurship and personal finance, but I learned that young people are very attuned to what goes on in their community.\n\nHave a community day/show and tell were students bring in something from home that explains their culture.  Try to get parents involved if you can.  Afterall, "It takes a village to raise a child."  As I am sure you are probably aware, lessons come in many forms they don't always have to center around pointing out differences and saying its bad to make judgements.  Just show them the different cultures that are out there through story, food, clothing, and other fun activities.

"THESE DAYS, EVERY CHILD HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO SCHOOL. HOWEVER IT SEEMS THAT SOME STUDENTS DON'T APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY AFFORDED TO THEM. THEY VANDALIZE THE SCHOOL, SCRIBBLE ON THE WALLS, AND THROW RUBBISH EVERYWHERE!"\n\nHOPE THAT HELPS

"Thomas Edison tried and failed nearly 2000 times to develop the carbonized cotton thread filiment for the incandescent light bulb.  When asked about it, he said, 'I didn't fail. I found out 2000 ways how not to make a light bulb.'  But he only needed to find one way to make it work."\n\nFrom National Treasure
