The universe is viewed as essentially nonmaterial in its ultimate nature. Although Idealist
philosophers vary enormously on many specifics, they agree on the following two points; the
human spirit is the most important element in life; and secondly the universe is essentially
nonmaterial in its ultimate nature.
Idealism should not be confused with the notion of high aspirations because that is not what
philosophers mean when they speak of Idealism. In the philosophic sense, Idealism is a system that
emphasizes the pre-eminent importance of mind, soul, or spirit.
It means that experiences are the result of sensory abilities of the human mind and not because
reality exists in itself as an independent entity. In the philosophical term, this means that one
cannot perceive the existence of things beyond the realm of the intellect.
On the other hand, Kant is of the opinion that reality exists independently of human minds but its
knowledge is inherently unknowable to man because of sensory filters in our consciousness. These
filters slow down our ability to see the 'thing in itself'. Thus our ultimate perception of things is
always through the mind's fixed frame of reference (Shahid, 2008).
Educational Aim
• Develop and apply practical knowledge and skills for life in a
progressive democratic society.
Roles of a Teacher
• Accept the ideas of the student.
• Facilitate thinking through generation of ideas.
• Encourages the students to share their own ideas.
Its educational goal is transformation thru ideas that change lives because through ideas
that was being perceived it was translated into language and then it was being put into
action.
So the idea was not forever be an idea but instead it will be put into action so that it can
useful to the community. For instance, the cell phone, computer and other things that we
had right now is the product of the ideas.

Methods of Instruction
• Lecture method is considered the most important one in which
a delivers lecture and students listen to the teacher (teacher-
centered approach).
Realism
Matter is real to realist; however, this does not mean that all realists are rampant materialists
who see matter in one form only. There can be many kinds of what we call matter, and some
realists believe in both matter and form. What is important is that realists point to matter as
an example of an independent reality.
The primary confusion over realism today is between religious kind of realism and a secular or
scientific one. Religious realism shows how similar Aristotle’s philosophy is to that of Plato and
Aquinas; secular realism would relate Aristotle’s work more to the development of scientific
philosophy through the works of Bacon, Locke and Russell.
All contents of consciousness, that is, everything that ever gets into the mind, comes
into it from one source only, and that source is experience. Experience is the one
source of input into the human mind. Ideas (or sensations) in minds are caused by
qualities in things.
Aims of Education
In realism, it prepares the child for a happy and successful life. It acquaints the
child with nature and the social environment. It develops the physical and
mental powers of the child. It develops and trains the senses of the child. It
prepares the child for real life.
The main subjects are natural science, physical science, health culture, physical
exercise, math, geography, history and astronomy.
He needs to find out the interest of the child and to teach accordingly. He
should teach subjects in proper order.
He must be able to expose and guide the learners towards the hard realities
of life.
Methods of Teaching
Observation is very important aspect in the teaching-learning process. The
emphasis on critical reasoning is through observation. Responsibilities and
accountabilities were given emphasis and it promotes performance-based
teaching. Scientific research and development is one of the priorities in
realism. Education should proceed from simple to complex and from concrete
to abstract.
Realism in Classroom
It focuses on the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic. Classroom environment is
highly structured and organized. It utilizes the standardized testing. Education should
be fun and interesting for the student and education should prepare students for life
in the real world.
Realism represents the reality of the world. It has truth that is aligned to the
knowledge acquired. Truth can be acquired by the use of sensation. In our lives, it is
our nature to be good and be bad. In realism, it teaches reality doctrine, the subjects
of physical world such as Math, Science and Social Studies.
Realism exist in schools to reveal the order of the world and universe. Teachers
imparts knowledge form basic to complex. Child is well-mannered and well-informed.
Realism in Classroom
In realism, the human mind represents the external world but does not
duplicate it. I exist, you exist but some do not know that I exist or he exist.

acquired. Also, they wanted to see an end to the manipulation of the learners
with teachers controlling learners along predetermined behavioral path.
