    IDEALISM

    IN EDUCATION

    Martyn Lim
    (205252)
    What is Idealism?

    Ideas are the only true reality, the only thing worth knowing.
    • The main focus of idealism is on conscious reasoning in the mind.
    • Real knowledge is perceived in mind.

    Philosophers
     Socrates
     Plato
    Socrates
    • Greek philosopher from Athens who is credited as one of the founders of
    Western philosophy and as being the first moral philosopher (ethics).

    • Socratic questioning methods


    I. Questions for clarifications (why do you say that?)
    II. Questions that probes consequences ( how does...affect...?)
    III. Questions that probes reasons ( how do you know?)
    Plato
    • The father of idealism, Plato, believed that people should concern themselves in
    searching for the truth. (answers gain through thinking)
    • As a Greek philosopher, he believed that man did not create knowledge but discovered
    it.
    • Plato, father of Idealism, espoused this view about 400 years BC, in his famous
    book, The Republic. Plato believed that there are two worlds.
    • Spiritual World and World of Appearance.
    Implications of Idealism to Education
     The aim of idealistic education is the preservation, enrichment and transmission of
    culture.

     Education must contribute to the development of overall culture.

     Helps a person to become much more rational.

     Idealism in education means to develop a good relation between student and a teacher.
    Preservation of culture
    • Culture is the blood vein of a society, which needs to be conserved. Education is crucial in the
    preservation of culture or social heritage.
    • Education tries to inculcate into the tender minds of pupils with traditions, customs, values, arts,
    morals etc.

    Transmission of Culture
    • In addition to preservation of culture, it is a task of education to maintain the continuity of culture by
    handing down the existing cultural experiences, values, traditions, customs etc. from one generation
    to another through its various programmes and practices.

    Enrichment of Culture
    • Besides preservation and transmission, another vital function of education is to modify the existing
    cultural patterns according to the needs and demands of the society. Thus, new cultural patterns are
    formed by replacing and reorienting the old outmoded cultural forms to suit the changing needs of
    time and man. Therefore, society makes ostensible progress. This part of education is called
    progressive function of education. As such, education performs by constantly reorganizing and
    reconstructing human experiences for the enrichment of culture.
    Goal of Education
    • Educators encourage students to search for their own ideas rather than the examination of
    the false world of matter. (textbook)
    Eg : It is not right for the students to think that the teacher’s words or what is in the book are the only things that are
    important

    • Educators encourage students to search for their ideas individually


    Eg : 20 students should have 20 ideas, encourage students to suggest, recommend and contribute so students can
    learn better.

    • Education according to idealism is transformation : Ideas can change lives.


    Eg : For a research to begin, it begins with an idea. Therefore that idea can change lives.
    Methods of Instruction
    An idealistic teacher is active in student's learning.
     Make students active learners rather than passive learners
     No copying notes from the board

    Through questioning, students are encouraged to discuss, analyse, synthesize and


    apply what they have read.
     Higher order thinking skills (HOTS)
     Not repeating what is taught but presenting your understanding based on your own perspectives.
    Role of a Teacher
    1. Create thinkers, facilitate student in thinking through various of ideas.

    2. Encourage students to share their own ideas.

    3. Accept the ideas of students.

    4. A role model to be imitated by students.
