Detailed explanation-1: -Realism is a school of philosophy with origins in the work of Aristotle. This philosophy emphasizes that “reality, knowledge, and value exist independent of the human mind” (Johnson, 2011, p. 89). Realists argue for the use of the senses and scientific investigation in order to discover truth.
Detailed explanation-2: -Aristotle (384-322 B.C.), a Greek philosopher is generally recognized as the father of realism. The purpose of education was to prepare for complete living, the Realists believed.
Detailed explanation-3: -Realism has probably had the greatest impact on educational philosophy, because it is the foundation of scientific reasoning. Realist educators encourage students to draw their observations and conclusions from the world around them, rather than confining themselves to an analysis of their own ideas.
Detailed explanation-4: -According to realism, states exist within an anarchic international system in which they are ultimately dependent on their own capabilities, or power, to further their national interests.
