Quotes by Jerome Bruner (?)

“Being able to "go beyond the information" given to "figure things out" is one of the few untarnishable joys of life. One of the great triumphs of learning (and of teaching) is to get things organised in your head in a way that permits you to know more than you "ought" to. And this takes reflection, brooding about what it is that you know. The enemy of reflection is the breakneck pace - the thousand pictures.”

“We are storytelling creatures, and as children we acquire language to tell those stories that we have inside us.”

“In sum, then, "thinking about thinking" has to be a principal ingredient of any empowering practice of education.”
