"When it is said that education is development, everything depends upon how development is conceived...life is development, and that developing, growing, is life. Translated into its educational equivalents, this means (i) that the educational process has no end beyond itself; it is its own end; and that (ii) the educational process is one of continual reorganizing, reconstructing, transforming." (Dewey, 1916, p. 59).
