Answer: D

Those whose educational philosophy is rooted in pragmatism claim that knowledge is tentative and truth is relative.

Pragmatists such as Dewey hold that ideas are tested by their consequences in experience, so truth is not final and knowledge is open to revision as new experience arrives.

They accept the scientific method of experimentation, so the option that rejects it is the reverse of the truth. They do not hold that complete objectivity is possible, and the stimulus-response theory of learning belongs to behaviourism and not to pragmatism.
