2. ABSTRACTION

Realism
Aristotle was a Greek philosopher and polymath during the Classical
period in Ancient Greece. Taught by Plato, he was the founder of the Peripatetic
school of philosophy within the Lyceum and the wider Aristotelian tradition. He is
also a realist needs to be explored and learned.
What Aristotle is trying to teach unlike Plato and Socrates was to move
away on what you can see, feel, what you can experience is the real and it’s the
real that we should be teaching instead of ideal which is in peoples mind
because if I don’t propagate my idea, if I don’t transform it into words the ideas is
still on my mind and it can be lost or forget. We are proposing to teach on what
reality is then what exist (what you can see, touch, feel, and what you experience
in life) and that is what one needs to teach. Moreover, Aristotle, asserted that
ideas can exist without matter, but matter cannot exist without ideas. Realism, in
philosophy, the viewpoint which accords to things which
are known or perceived an existence or nature which is independent of whether
anyone is thinking about or perceiving them.
The ultimate reality is the physical objects, everything that we see, touch,
and feel are real therefore that is what needs to be study or learned. The focus of
this topic is the ‘body’ from the mind the move away is towards the body. The
idealist focus on the mind or ‘thinking’ while realist focus now on the body
because you can touch, feel, see like your hands, your legs, touch, what you
observe, and all the wonderful stuff that you do to experience the ‘reality’ of the
real world and that’s what realism said (what all exists needs to be explored and
learned.
The SHIFT from just looking at the mind to focusing on the body this
brings us to the aspects of biology, chemistry, physics, sociology, and
psychology began to take shape because we started now looking at the reality.

When we talk about the body, we have a lot of questions: how does it
work? what can it do?, and what is it made of? We develop many other areas of
study that would not have developed under idealism. This is the key to realism
because what you can see is also what you have questioned, but you can never
experience, feel, or touch ideas unless they are expressed in words. So, for
realists, the key is to develop the human body; to summarize, realism focuses on
developing the whole child—physically, mentally, spiritually, morally, and so on.
The shifting of attention from the mind to the body

Realism has important implications for how students should be educated

in a specific topic. If there is a mind-independent reality, then students must learn
to overcome their own biases and impressions in order to discover this reality
and what existing objects are actually like. Realism in education suggests that
 students should be taught methods that will help them discover objective truths.
Therefore, realist educators emphasize critical thinking, logic, and the scientific
method, believing these approaches will help students look for evidence for their
conclusions, overcome their biases, test their views for coherence, and look for
regularity in their experience as a symptom of objective reality.

The teacher will give an activity about the topic.
