This document provides an overview of pragmatism and existentialism as philosophies of modern education. It discusses key aspects of each philosophy including their views on the aims of education, curriculum, teaching methods, and the role of the teacher. Pragmatism supports progressive education and emphasizes activity, experience, and problem solving. Existentialism focuses on individual freedom, responsibility, and uniqueness, and supports self-directed learning opportunities for students to define their own essence.

CLASSICAL & MODERN PHILOSOPHICAL PERSPECTIVES ON EDUCATION IHennaAnsari
Idealism
Realism
Educational Philosophies
the content of this presentation is adopted from AIOU's course code 8609 (Philosophy of Education)
NOTE: correction in types of Idealism (3rd Slide). corrected types are as following:
1= Subjective Idealism. It is termed subjective since it holds that all objects of knowledge are subjective in as much that they depend upon the mind. It is equivalent to a conceptual theory since it also holds that the universe is composed of either minds alone or of minds and their ideas, nothing else besides.
2 = Phenomenalism. This particular form of idealism was propounded by Kant the German philosopher. Kant's first discovery concerned the limits of man's knowledge, and it led him to the conclusion that the only knowledge that is possible to man is knowledge of the phenomenon.
3 = Objective Idealism. The Hegelian form of idealism is also known as objective idealism. According to Hegel, the ultimate reality is the absolute eternal substance, outside which nothing can and does exist.
Note 2: there are typological errors in slide 4 and 5. correct sentence is "Idealism and Aims of Education".
A powerpoint presentation prepared for the subject: Philosophical Psychological-Sociological Foundations of Education. What is Pragmatism? It is a method for evaluating intellectual problems, and a theory about the kinds of knowledge we are capable of acquiring.
In the history of philosophy of education naturalism is also as old as idealism."
“Naturalism” means the ISM laying stress upon nature in every field of education - i.e. to derive aims, means, methodology, principles of curriculum, School management from nature.
The materialist explanation of the world given by Democritus (460 to 360 BC) was the ground of naturalism in education. This, however, is not the basis of modern naturalism

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
