The Wisdom and Spread of Realist Philosophy of Education
Keywords:
Realism, Realist Philosophy of Education, EvaluationAbstract
Realism began with the belief in the external existence of the simple intellect of man. According to the contemporary realist British philosopher Macmur, the sensible experience of this simple intellect of ordinary people is the realistic view. The main point of realism is that the existence of the known object is knowledge-neutral or mind-neutral. The existence of the object exists even if the knower does not see any known object. The essential purpose of realism in education is that realism refers to scientific or evidential knowledge as the background for the pursuit of understanding. In this way, realism reflects the inherent materialism and supports modern science. According to realists, the ideal of education needs to be real. The purpose of education should be to teach what is necessary in the workplace of life. The limitation of mere textbooks should not be the ideal of education. Along with textbook knowledge, we need to know the environment around us well. From the above discussion, it is necessary to get a preliminary idea about the nature, goals, objectives, methods, school, teacher and student roles of realistic education. It is also necessary to analyze how logical realistic education is in the development of society and the state and in achieving moral development. The aim and purpose of writing this research paper is to gain a preliminary idea about realistic education and to analyze whether realistic education is capable of meeting the needs of society through philosophical analysis.
