Realism is a philosophy that believes the physical world is objective and knowledge comes from the senses. Key principles of realism in education include basing education only on science, emphasizing behavior and experimentation, and making the child's present life the center of education. Realism supports a curriculum developed according to utility and daily needs, with subjects like science, math, and geography. Teaching methods focus on being scientific, objective, and experiential. The classroom environment is highly structured and standardized testing is used. Realism aims to prepare children for happy, successful, and real lives.
