Abstract
In How We Think, Dewey presents his ideas and perspectives on the role of the educator in training and facilitating students’ learning. He believed that knowledge is relative to human interaction with the world. Consequently, he believed that thought training leads into inductive and deductive reasoning, interpreting facts, as well as concrete and abstract thinking all play important roles in schools, as well as all education processes and institutions.
