Pragmatism

QuestionAnswer
Metaphysics Knowledge of the world is impossible to separate from actions upon it There is no reality out there Both facts and values are products of interaction with environment
Epistemology Related to experience We do not receive knowledge, we create it with actions in the environment
Dewey's "How We Think?" 1. Encounter problem, hesitate 2. Analyze problem, diagnose situation 3. Brainstorm possible solutions 4. Run scenarios with probable consequences 5. Pick the most probable solution and test it 6. If it works, its a good solution
Axiology Moving from an individual to a common good We get our values from society, not individuals Everything is relative Truth and ethics are created through a social consensus, not absolutes As culture changes, so do values
Goal of Education Foster growth among students Not just academic but prepare students for society Students should be working towards future goals that includes mainly becoming responsible citizens
Role of Schools Child’s experiences are important School should be a place where all these experiences are able to make sense to the student
Methodology of Teaching Less strict whole class interaction - more group and project work Social interactions for development are crucial Subject knowledge and content areas are related Should follow a pattern of change and adaptation One method does not work for all
Curriculum Education should model real life and focus on what will benefit the student Not too strict on morals or adult guidance and direction Learning helps students meet everyday challenges Learn by doing Be active, set objectives, interact with environment
Role of Teacher Apply democratic methods Encourage and offer solutions Individualize instruction
Critique of Pragmatism Lack of moral basi- If facts change with time, then so do morals Just because something works, doesn't make it necessarily true Thought without action is important in education, but pragmatists believe its pointless
Pragmatists and God Does not consider the question of God's existence. Instead, "Does a person's belief in God work satisfactorily for him?"
