- Experimentalism is an educational philosophy that believes the way to truth is through experiments and experience. It emphasizes learning by doing and problem solving. - John Dewey was a major proponent of experimentalism. He believed education should involve hands-on learning through real-life tasks and problem solving rather than rote memorization. - In an experimentalist classroom, the instructor facilitates learning rather than lectures. Students are actively involved in lessons through inquiry, discovery, and applying knowledge to solve problems. The curriculum focuses on topics relevant to students' interests and experiences.
