Pragmatism is a philosophy originating in the 19th century United States with thinkers such as Peirce, James, and Dewey. It is based on what works in practice to achieve goals and solve problems. John Dewey was influenced by Darwinian ideas of interaction between organisms and their environments. He advocated for child-centered and experiential education that prepares children for their roles in society. As an educator, Dewey believed teachers should act as facilitators rather than authoritarians, encouraging problem-solving through inquiry and integrated curriculum.
