Abstract
This research measured the efficacy of experiential learning model proposed in
“My Pedagogic Creed” by John Dewey in the perspective of teachers in the local
context of Karachi, Pakistan. Literature reported that Dewey had promoted the
notion of social interaction, group learning and experiential learning as strategies
of teaching in the modern system of education. A survey questionnaire was developed
and classified under four sections from experiential learning perspective: Aims and
Objectives, Social Context of Teaching, Pedagogy and Teacher’s Behavior. Hundred
and seventy-one teachers participated in this survey. Results showed no significant
difference in opinion of gender related to Aims and Objectives, Social Context of
Teaching and Pedagogy. However, there was a significant difference in the opinion
of male and female teachers with reference to their highest qualification and work
experience regarding the four variables of experiential learning model. This study
recommended rigorous teacher training for current tier of in-service teachers in
Karachi in terms of Aims and Objectives, Social Context of Teaching, Pedagogy
and Teacher’s Behavior as proposed in My Pedagogic Creed to improve the current
educational scenario.
