“The discussion of the game of marbles seems to have led us into rather deep waters. But in the eyes of children the history of the game of marbles has quite as much importance as the history of religion or of forms of government. It Is a history, moreover, that is magnificently spontaneous; and it was therefore perhaps not entirely useless to seek to throw light on the child's judgment of moral value by a preliminary study of the social behaviour of children amongst themselves.” ChildrenLightSeemsGovernmentEyeFormValuesGamesSocialWaterMoralStudyJudgmentImportanceUselessDiscussionBehaviourSpontaneousMarbleForms Of GovernmentMoral ValuesMoral JudgmentDeep WaterEyes Of A Child Author:Jean Piaget
“Just as a poetic discussion of the weather is not meteorology, so an issuance of moral pronouncements or political creeds about the economy is not economics. Economics is a study of cause-and-effect relationships in an economy.” PoliticalCausesMoralEconomyStudyEffectsEconomicsWeatherDiscussionPoeticCreedsCause And EffectMeteorology Book:Basic Economics Source: Basic Economics
“I'm a believer that there are three fundamental ways that you can think about education. They're being a professor upfront, lecturing, telling what's inside your head, some case studies in which you are in discussion and also an action based learning.” ThinkingWayActionThreeCasesStudyFundamentalsBelieverDiscussionProfessorsLecturingCase Studies Author:Robert J.

“A young man is not a proper hearer of lectures on political science; for he is inexperienced in the actions that occur in life, but its discussions start from these and are about these; and, further, since he tends to follow his passions, his study will be vain and unprofitable, because the end that is aimed at is not knowledge but action. And it makes no difference whether he is young in years or youthful in character.” MenYearsEndsCharacterActionYoungPoliticalPassionPoliticsDifferencesLearningStudyStudentsVainDiscussionYoung ManLecturesPolitical ScienceNicomachean Ethics Book:Complete Works of Aristotle, Volume 2: The Revised Oxford Translation Source: Complete Works of Aristotle, Volume 2: The Revised Oxford Translation
