This study aims to investigate the formative criteria of educatinnal objectives in experimentalism, This placed the emphasis on the formation and structure of educational values, character and ideological criteria of educational objectives based on educational values, and the structure and practical criteria of educational objectives.
The conclusions are summarized as follows.
First, experimentalism has the point of instrumentality and relativity in the axiological phase. So the educational values play a role of hypothetic proposition and they have the practical, proximate, and factual status. It does not attempt to divide educational values, but present the inclusive concept of life value as a real and objective property. The desirable choice from the various sequences of educational activities mainly relies on the desirable choice from the various sequences of educational activities mainly relies on the situational experiences and intelligence as its controller.
Second, experimentalism decides its educational objectives according to the growth of living capability rather than the metaphysical assumption or epistemological consummation. So it takes the criteria from the biological human nature based on the evolution and development without regard to the normative human nature.
Third, it formulates the educational objectives by the standard of autonomy and internal procedures of educational process. And because of the naturalistic viewpoints, it is very difficult to verify the normative and objective property, and the scientific approach are represented. Because of these verifiability and internalism, it fails to suffice the integral coordination of factors in education.
