- 16. • Second, the scientific method is designed to be responsive to the improvement of existing conditions. It is a problem-resolution method that tests new ideas in the interests of producing improvements. This makes it an elegant method for democracy because it poses problems as opportunities for new understanding and insight.

Editor's Notes
- What did we perceived in this slide.Is this happening to our system of education today? This slide s does not only about assessement but it tell us that some educ. System that is not democratic. Meaning the students are just confine to what the teacher will command..or we can also relate that in some educ the students are not free to choose the content of curriculum they have to learn.This is the concept of educ.is actually what John Dewey woould like to reform in the system of eduction.
- The Philisophy of Experimentalism by John Deewy Again
- 1.Learn by doing or active handon 2. Too experience is to believe 3. Who treat problems as challenges because we enjoy the new experiences
- Let us first review the Life of John Dewey .the proponent of this philosophy. Because his life is a reflection of his Philiosphy .His experiences help him to develop and formulate this kthis kind of theories of learning. There is no preparation for the challenges .The world is continousy changing that why . So if we teach our students in the same way kung pano tayo tinuruan, Our generation could not simultanoeusly adapt with the changes at maiiwaanaan po tyo dit is realtde to the progress.

He emphasized the importance of context in education. Contxtmeans his experineces , his environment and his learning engagement. He recognize indivuality. Meaning a student or ind. Brings a certain context in history to his or her learning and the teacher must know that. He also recognize the essence of learning in agroup. Thaat is the essence of democracy .

- In additionExperimentalism evolved , he identifies this three crucial in the learning process based on his work in his la.school WThis was his way of saying that all good teaching must be attuned to (1) the character of learners (their interests, problems, developmental nature), (2) the highest values of the society (democratic principles of cooperation, tolerance, critical mindedness, and political awareness), and (3) the reflective representation of the subject matter (the knowledge in the various disciplines that helps the teacher present material that resonates with both learner and society)
- 1. To know the Truth is to be involved in real tasks . Experience anything to learn it.(computer) Experiment is action performed 2. simplify matters, the "reconstruction or reorganization of experience" is really just a way of saying that one must learn from one's experience in a fashion that avoids repeating mistakes and that contributes to one's ability to make more informed decisions in the future. 3. In Dewey alternative, experimentalist form of education, student thinking replaces rote memorization and shallow understanding at center stage; from the start, students are situated in activities that require them to experiment with ideas as they pursue ends that matter to them.

- The implication is that learning is a process of experiential growth, always in the state of becoming and, if properly managed, improving, but never achieving completeness or finality. Such a view of experience, however, does not emerge idiosyncratically.
- When cildren learn to apply their knowledge in the practical life, the learning becomes meaning ful
- He believed that if a student learned to solve then he would be better fit for living. Responsive to existing conditions as well as changes in condition, enabling students to adapt to an ever changing society. Your collection of experiemce enablr you adapt and fit for the changing world
- By doing research, they will be given a problem and let the student collect data from community
- learning should be done through problem solving, that education should be related to the interests of the student, and that students should be taught how to think and make conclusions based on evidence so they can best adapt to the needs of an ever-changing world.
- The instructor facilitates the lesson rather than lecture. Students are actively involved in the execution of the lesson. Learning is done through a process of inquiry and discovery.
