Pragmatism advocates ....................... .
Answer: A
Pragmatism advocates Learning by doing.
For pragmatists such as John Dewey, knowledge grows out of experience and is tested by its results, so the child should learn through purposeful activity rather than by listening. 'Learning by doing' is the slogan that sums this up, and it underlies Dewey's laboratory school and Kilpatrick's project method.
The problem-solving method is also used in pragmatist teaching, but as one form of learning by doing; the paper takes the general principle. The lecture method is the passive teaching pragmatism rejects, and the inductive-deductive method is a general method of reasoning not specific to pragmatism.
