History of Education

Identify the differences among the philosophies of idealism, realism, and pragmatism
in terms of educational practice. Which is most closely associated to your beliefs and
why?

Plan the essay:
1] Intro:
Part A (straight to the main topic) [define/categorize/introduce main topic of essay]
Part B (the competition) [Mention other people’s approach] Use only negative types, so that they would maximize your positive approach in part C.
Part C (“This paper will…” all in future tense. Each single item here will be one paragraph in # 2)

2] Middle of essay: Each point in part C of the intro will be one paragraph. So, you need to brainstorm the given chapter and come up with at least three different topics, preferable four or five to make up the word count required. The questions in the given task must be itemized here, each being the lead off sentence to a separate paragraph, like this:
Positive (one paragraph) concrete example
negative (one paragraph) aspects of; concrete example of the positive (this would be the “how it helps” [one paragraph]);
concrete example of the negative [one paragraph]).
3] Conclusion:
Repeat Part A of intro in general terms. Then say how the paper showed what it said it would, using only past tense. (this paper showed….)
