A lack of realism in the vision today costs credibility
tomorrow -John C. Maxwell
The term realist comes from the Latin realists
who is to be really, really real. Realism tries to build up a body of systematized knowledge, which is certain objective and agrees with standpoint of physical sciences. It says that every reality can be proved by observation, experience, experiment and scientific reasoning. For them, experience is the touchstone of what is real. According to realism, that is the nature of reality that are on the things or object. Therefore, it is natural that the first concern in education is what is on the learner. In relation to education, education directly related to the purpose of life and the lives of individuals and society. Education cannot be fully understood without understanding the ultimate goal being sourced to the goals and views of human life. Learning should be based on the interest of the students. Success in learning is not as imposed from outside but rather, is a result of personal development. As a future teacher, my teaching philosophy is realism. I will teach and provide my students with essential knowledge that they will need to survive in the natural world, and to understand the present practical life. As a realist teacher, my goal to my students is to prepare them to lead a successful and happy life promoting the welfare of society as well.
