An example of the consistency theory of truth is Idealism. Both suggest an external objective reality and probably an eternal immutable order of truth. Pragmatists propose to test the truth of ideas. Ideas, by themselves, are neither true or false, but become true or false when used to clarify some confusion that has occurred to obstruct educational practice. Truth is what works.
Truth is literally verification.
It is truth making. It is never perfect, unchanging or eternal, but always in the making. The application of this approach is the project or problem method of teaching. This theory has had a great deal of influence in the United States because of the influence of John Dewey on American education. Both pupil and teacher usually have a purpose which motivates their efforts to find a solution.
