다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purposes of this study are to find out the concepts of aims and educational aims, and the growth theory of John Dewey.
John Dewey's criteria of good aims can be summarized as followd:
(1) The established aim should be an outgrowth of exisisting condition.
(2) The aim should be flexible, that is to say, it should be capable of alteration to meet circumstances.
(3) The aim must always represent the liberation of avtivities.
The educational application of these criteria of good aims is as follows:
(1) The educational aim should be founded upon the intrinsic activities and needs of the given individual to be educated.
(2) The educational aim should be capable of beng translated into a method of cooperation with the avtivities of those instructions.
(3) Educators have to be on their guard against the educational aims that can be alleged to be general and ultimate.
The concept of growth as good educational aims is as follows:the primary condition of growth is immaturity.Immaturity means the possibility of growth, i.e.the ability to be developed. The positive aspect of possibility gives the key to understanding the two chief traits of immaturity, i.e. dependence and plasticity.
From a social point of view, dependence denotes a power rather than a parasitism; inother words,it involves interdepedndence. On the other handmplasticity is essentiality the ability to learn out of experience; in other words, the power to retain from one experience something which is available in coping with the difficulties of a later situation. This means the power to modify actions on the basis of the results of prior experiences, i.e. the power to develop dispositions.
In conclusion life is growth, and developing or growing is life itself. Translated to its educational equivalents, this means that the educational process has no end beyond the growing life itself, and that the educational process is reorganizing or reconstructng continuously for life's intellectual growth.
