Realism is a philosophy that believes that objects exist independently of the mind. It assumes there is a real external world that can be observed and understood. Key aspects of realism in education include focusing on subjects about the physical world, using observation and experimentation, and preparing students for life in the real world. Realist teachers impart scientific knowledge and guide students to understand universal laws and principles through hands-on learning. While realism emphasizes practical skills, it is also criticized for neglecting ideals, values, imagination and emotion.
