As a realist teacher, can you site an example on how can you used scientific methods of
problem solving in your lesson?

As a realist teacher, teaching my students to be realist is easier than a theoretical one. When
we say how to teach students to use scientific methods of problem solving is not easy.
Incorporating scientific methods into problem solving is a good strategy to make the students
learn the lessons. Problem-based inquiry is an attempt to challenge students to address real-
world problems and resolve realistic dilemmas. For example, you could give a situation on a
basic life-saving training (bLs) in which the trainees are working on what their first step will be in
order to save lives and prevent unnecessary damage, while also solving a real-life problem. If I
am a realist teacher, that's how I will teach my students.

2. Differentiate the Philosophy of Realism from Philosopy of Idealism?

Idealism uses logic and introspection to arrive at an ultimate reality. Plato believed that people
are born with great knowledge that can be unlocked through the study of ideas and the Socratic
Method, which consists of a series of questions that lead the pupil to greater knowledge. In
Plato's dialogue "Meno," for example, Socrates assists a slave boy in discovering an inner
knowledge of mathematics despite having no prior training. As a result, each student is equally
capable of accessing inner resources of knowledge and wisdom. Realism, on the other hand,
seeks to instruct students as if they were empty vessels waiting to be filled with knowledge. Any
practical method, including technology, is appropriate. This philosophy also accepts scientific
testing to place students in appropriate classrooms.
