Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Progressive education, pioneered largely by John Dewey, emphasizes learning by doing, critical thinking, experiential activities, and real-world application. The problem-solving method aligns perfectly with progressive theory as it makes the student an active investigator who explores problems, evaluates data, and constructs functional knowledge rather than passively receiving abstract rules or facts.
