Being able to "go beyond the information" given to "figure things out" is one of the few untarnishable joys of life.
Jerome BrunerIn time, and as one comes to benefit from experience, one learns that things will turn out neither as well as one hoped nor as badly as one feared.
Jerome BrunerI would urge that the yeast of education is the idea of excellence, and the idea of excellence comprises as many forms as there are individuals, each of whom develops his own image of excellence. The school must have as one of its principal functions the nurturing of images of excellence.
Jerome BrunerRather, the master question from which the mission of education research is derived: What should be taught to whom, and with what pedagogical object in mind? That master question is threefold: what, to whom, and how? Education research, under such a dispensation, becomes an adjunct of educational planning and design. It becomes design research in the sense that it explores possible ways in which educational objectives can be formulated and carried out in the light of cultural objectives and values in the broad.
