IDEALISM AND ITS IMPLICATION TO


EDUCATION
Idealism is the oldest system of philosophy known to man. Its origins go back to ancient India in
the East, and to Plato in the West. Its basic viewpoint stresses the human spirit as the most
important element in life.

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.

IDEALISM AND ITS IMPLICATION TO


EDUCATION
The word idealism is derived from two distinct sources-the idea and the ideal. Idea means true and
testified knowledge. The word ideal stands for the perfected form of an idea or ideas. If we study
the basic principles, Idealism puts forth the argument that reality, as we perceive it, is a mental
construct.

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.

IDEALISM AND ITS IMPLICATION TO


EDUCATION
Plato describes “reality” in his Theory of Forms. For him the “Form” is actual substance of 'Things'
which 'Formed' matter and perceptible reality. Plato wants to convey the message that matter is
real and can be experienced as a rational living entity; it is not a mere projection of consciousness.
According to Knight (1998), Rene Descartes (1596-1650), George Berkeley and the German
philosopher Immanuel Kant and George William Hegel are the prominent names who represent
idealism. Berkeley and Kant have interpreted idealism in very different ways.

Kant described idealism as transcendent, whereas Berkeley called it 'immaterialism' which is


commonly termed as subjective materialism. George Berkeley says that the material world exists
because there is a mind to perceive it and that things which are not within the conceptual
framework of the human mind cannot be deemed real.

IDEALISM AND ITS IMPLICATION TO


EDUCATION
Berkeley admits that objects exist, but their presence in the physical realm is as long as there is a
mind to perceive them. For this Berkeley has used a Latin phrase 'Esse est percipi' (to be
perceived).

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).

Goal of an Idealist Classroom


1.Sharing of ideas.
2.It is not right for the students to think that the teacher’s words or what is in the
book are the only things that are important.
3.Student’s ideas are also equally important.
4.Teachers must refine the student’s ideas.
5.Involve students through 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.

REALISM AND ITS IMPLICATION TO


EDUCATION
Like idealism, realism is one of the oldest philosophies in Western culture and
dates back at least to ancient Greece. Because of its respectable age, realism
has had a variety of proponents and interpretations as diverse as classical and
religious realism to scientific, natural and rational realism.

Because of this confusing array of variations, it seems most reasonable to


approach this philosophy from common threads interwoven throughout its
long history.

REALISM AND ITS IMPLICATION TO


EDUCATION
Perhaps the most central thread of realism is what can be called the principle of thesis of
independence. This thesis holds the reality, knowledge and value exist independently of the
human mind. In other words, realism rejects the idealist notion that only ideas are real. The
realist asserts, as a fact, that the actual sticks, stones and trees of the universe exist whether or
not there is a human mind to perceive them.

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.

REALISM AND ITS IMPLICATION TO


EDUCATION
Realism is a complex philosophy because of its many varieties, to wit: classical realism,
religious realism, scientific realism and others. This confusion dates back to Aristotle because
although his prominence in philosophy was primarily derived from his differences with
Platonic philosophy, probably more similarities than differences exist overall between Plato
and Aristotle.

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.

REALISM AND ITS IMPLICATION TO


EDUCATION
In realism, human acquire knowledge by inculcating knowledge to the minds because
in realism, it believes that the human beings have no inborn, or innate, ideas in their
minds at birth. When it first exists it is a blank slate, a "tabula rasa," an empty surface
on which experience will then subsequently write all that we ever know.

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.

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.

Specifically activities that enhance learning thru direct or indirect experiences


such as field trips, lectures, films, TV, audio-visual aids and library were
encouraged. Vernacular is of great importance and it should be the medium
of instruction. Since it is performance-based, hence, children should be given
positive rewards

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.

of seeing it as something a learner is filled with, measures against, or fitted

allowed to take a positive role in the shaping of their education and life. For
the existentialist, no two children are alike.

They differ in background, personality traits, interests, and desires they have
acquired. Also, they wanted to see an end to the manipulation of the learners
