On Learning: Learning vs. Teaching II

"Thoroughly to teach another is the best way to learn for yourself." (Tyron Edwards, "A Dictionary of Thoughts", 1891) 

"Most teachers waste their time by asking questions which are intended to discover what a pupil does not know whereas the true art of questioning has for its purpose to discover what the pupil knows or is capable of knowing." (Albert Einstein, 1920) 

"[…] teachers are simply your guides. You yourselves must do the travelling." (William J Gies, "Research in Destiny", 1921)

"Teaching is more difficult than learning because what teaching calls for is this: to let learn. The real teacher, in fact, let nothing else be learned than learning. His conduct, therefore, often produces the impression that we properly learn nothing from him, if by ‘learning’ we now suddenly understand merely the procurement of useful information." (Martin Heidegger, "What is called thinking?", 1968)

"Teaching comes through the head, learning happens through the heart." (Osho, "And The Flowers Showered: Discourses On Zen", 1975)

"Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know just as well as you. You are all learners, doers, teachers." (Richard Bach, "Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah", 1977)

"Teaching is only demonstrating that it is possible. Learning is making it possible for yourself." (Paulo Coelho, "The Pilgrimage", 1987)

"Teachers (individually and collectively) must develop the habits and skills of continuous inquiry and learning, always seeking new ideas inside and outside their own settings." (Michael Fullan, "Change Forces: Probing the Depths of Educational Reform", 1993)

"Whoever teaches learns in the act of teaching, and whoever learns teaches in the act of learning." (Paulo Freire, "Pedagogy of Freedom", 1996)
