Deweyan pragmatism

o1 Pro.icon Pragmatism (also called "instrumentalism") of Dewey. is a position that views knowledge not as fixed truths but as tools for problem solving. Learning and thinking are constantly renewed through daily experience, and are improved through practice in society and the environment through repeated research and experimentation. In terms of education, Deweyan pragmatism is characterized by its emphasis on independent experience and inquiry, rather than passive knowledge infusion, in order to promote the growth of individuals and society.

relevance - Knowledge must be validated by practice
