How We Think

"How We Think" by John Dewey, first published in 1910, explores the importance of cultivating a scientific attitude of mind in education to help address the complexities faced by modern schools. Dewey emphasizes that the natural curiosity and inventive spirit of children are closely aligned with scientific thinking, suggesting that fostering these qualities can lead to a more unified and effective educational approach. The book advocates for integrating scientific methods into teaching to support both teachers and pupils in their intellectual development.
