A person who advocates for or practices elementarism; one who believes in starting with basic principles.
From 'elementarism' + '-ist' (a person who practices or believes in something). Refers to educators or philosophers aligned with elemental or foundational approaches.
An elementarist teacher might spend weeks on the concept of 'zero' because understanding nothing is the key to understanding everything—and ironically, Indian mathematicians proved this revolutionary idea 1,500 years ago.
