Idealism
The philosophical doctrine that arises from the category of thought associated with
ideas is “idealism” – the notion that ideas represent reality. Idealism has its origins in Plato,
the third century BC thinker who believed that there was an objective truth, expressed through
the unchanging world of “Forms”. These Forms were originally proposed in by Plato's mentor
Socrates, who wrote nothing himself, but presented in a series of dialogues written by Plato.
In it, Socrates engages in discussion with Athenian citizens, drawing out their ideas about
virtue.
Empiricism
The view that all information is picked up from the faculties came to unmistakable
quality within the seventeenth century, when the English logician John Locke in his Paper
Concerning Human Understanding contended that 'there is nothing within the intellect which
was not to begin with within the senses' (Smith et al. 2004). In this see, the intellect could be a
clear slate on which encounters are imprinted. Agreeing to Locke, all essential and auxiliary
thoughts, counting unique thoughts, come either from the senses or the mind's reflections on
sensory experience.
Romanticism
Developed within the eighteenth century to supply an alternative point of view on the
part of experience in learning. Jean-Jacques Rousseau was romanticism's strongest advocate in
what is regularly called its to begin with instructional text. Émile, distributed in 1762(/2007)
deals with the right education for a boy. For Rousseau gender was naturally decided, and he
thought that a different instruction prepare was essential for girls, as appeared in Émile et
Sophie ou les Solitaires (1780/1994), the sequel to Émile.
+ appears that restricting positions such as idealism and experimentation are defensible;
Answered by Rahmi:
The Merdeka Curriculum is an educational program implemented by the Indonesian
Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology. The curriculum aims to
improve the quality of education in Indonesia by focusing on essential material and
encouraging differentiated learning. Educational philosophy is a branch of philosophy that
deals with the fundamental nature of education, its problems, and its goals. It is concerned
with the study of educational methods, the philosophy of knowledge, and the nature of
learning. In the context of the Merdeka Curriculum, educational philosophy plays a crucial
role in shaping the curriculum’s goals and objectives. It helps to define the curriculum’s
purpose, the methods used to achieve it, and the outcomes expected from it. The curriculum
is designed to address learning loss and improve learning outcomes in literacy and
numeracy. Therefore, educational philosophy is an essential component of the Merdeka
Curriculum, as it provides the theoretical foundation for the curriculum’s development and
implementation.
2. Question by Israyani Masyita
How schools help students be themselves while being able to adapt to society
according to applicable norms?
In drawing conclusions about behaviorism, you will discover it valuable to survey the negative,
positive and interesting aspects of the hypothesis. On the negative side, behaviorism is
prevalently connected to power and control and has connotations of animal training. It is
additionally related with an outmoded industrial training model that fails to require account of
people's capacity to require activity for themselves. It can be considered anti-humanistic in its
refusal to recognize human opportunity and choice. Behaviorism gives deficiently weight to
relevant In higher learning, behaviorist strategies may not be successful in advancing profound
learning, which is related to individual understanding and meaning-making. In adult, further,
and higher education, it is additionally troublesome to apply behaviorist standards, since they
regularly fail to require account of imaginative forms and of accidental, unexpected and self-
initiated learning. In general, behaviorism is regularly seen as anti-intellectual. On the other
hand, behaviorism is productive in advancing quick learning, since of its precise specification
of activities and learning results. Behaviorist standards are also useful – they offer practical
and specific advice to the teacher or curriculum planner around what to do. Behaviorism isn't
completely adversarial to other theories of learning; rather, it can co-exist with later learning
speculations that focus on cognition or the social acquisition of meaning. It may serve as a
foundational component on the basis of which more complex cognitive processes are
developed. For example, some Asian cultures see tedious skill acquisition as a necessary
prerequisite to the development of creativity. Behaviorism is still of interest to students and
educators since many human practices can be related to or clarified by the theory. Many
behaviorist practices have recently been joined into the educational world – these include the
use of learning results in standardized frameworks that advance deep rooted learning and
movement. It is possible to require a more advanced view of what behaviorist theory can offer,
especially when it is considered as a complement to cognitivist and constructivist theories of
learning, which are considered in the following chapters. components such as the social,
financial and political conditions and strengths that advance or constrain action. It also fails to
consider other determinants in learning, such as inherited intelligence and personality.

2. Memory: Cognitivism places significant importance on the study of memory, exploring how
information is encoded, stored, and retrieved. Models like the information processing model
and the multi-store model of memory help explain cognitive processes related to memory.
3.Learning: Cognitivists propose that learning involves the acquisition and organization of
knowledge in memory. They study how individuals actively process information, make
connections, and construct meaning from their experiences.
4. Language and Thought: Cognitivism explores the interplay between language and thought
processes. It investigates how language influences cognition and how cognitive processes
contribute to language development and comprehension.
Cognitivism has had a profound impact on various fields, including education, cognitive
psychology, artificial intelligence, and human-computer interaction. Cognitive-behavioral
therapy, which integrates cognitive and behavioral principles, is an influential therapeutic
approach that emerged from the cognitivist perspective.
While cognitivism brought attention to the importance of internal mental processes, it does not
completely dismiss the role of external stimuli and behavior. Instead, it seeks to understand
how cognition mediates the relationship between the individual and the environment. This
perspective has significantly shaped contemporary psychological research and practice.
- Cognitivism emphasizes the importance of prior knowledge and mental structures called
schemas. Educators should connect new information to students' existing knowledge,
activating relevant schemas to enhance understanding and retention.
3. Metacognition:
- Cognitivism suggests that information is better processed when organized into meaningful
chunks. Educators can facilitate learning by presenting information in a structured manner,
breaking it down into manageable sections, and helping students form connections between
concepts.
- Understanding the processes of sensory memory, working memory, and long-term memory
is essential. Educators can design lessons that optimize the transfer of information from
working memory to long-term memory, promoting better retention.
7. Problem-Based Learning:
- Cognitivist principles align well with problem-based learning approaches. Educators can
design scenarios or projects that require students to apply their cognitive skills to solve real-
world problems, fostering meaningful learning experiences.
- Understanding cognitive load theory helps educators manage the balance between
information presentation and students' cognitive capacity. Educators can structure lessons to
avoid cognitive overload, ensuring that students can effectively process and integrate new
information.
9. Feedback for Learning:
- Cognitivism emphasizes the importance of facilitating the transfer of learning from one
context to another. Educators can design activities that encourage the application of knowledge
and skills in various situations.
Cognitivism complements other learning theories, and a holistic approach that integrates
elements from behaviorism, constructivism, and socio-cultural perspectives can be effective in
meeting the diverse needs of learners.
Teaching strategies can be improved by utilizing technology, such as smart TVs and
projectors. Alternatively, use a gamified website if learning is done online. Strategy
choices can also include methods that are rarely used, such as simulation, role-play, and
others. By combining these various methods, the learning process can become more
interesting for students.
2. Question by Samsinar
How are Sensation and Perception related and how can these two things be related
to the concept of learning?
Answer by Nurshafika
Sensation is the process of capturing stimuli and the earliest stage in receiving
information. Example of sensation are light entering the eye, sound entering the ear,
etc.
Perception is the interpretation of stimuli received through sensation or the
process of providing meaning to sensations through the five senses.
The application of the relationship between sensation and perception in learning
is:
1. The teacher uses pictures or videos to explain the learning material. Images
or videos can provide interesting visual information for students. Students then use their
knowledge and experience to understand the information.
2. The teacher gives practical assignments to students. Practical assignments
allow students to experience the course material firsthand. This understanding can
provide a deeper understanding for students.
3. Teachers use learning methods that actively involve students. Active learning
methods, such as discussions, simulations and games, can increase student attention
and participation. This increases the effectiveness of learning.
3. Question by Yuniarsih Azizah
How do we as students make the lesson into a Long Time Memory (LTM)?
Answer by Siti Rezky Amaliah. M & Defrianti Patanda
Deep Understanding: Try to truly understand the concepts rather than just memorize
them. Look for connections between information and understand the context.
Active Practice: Engage in exercises or hands-on practice with the course material. This
can be through completing problems, discussions, or projects.
Reteach: Try to teach the concept to someone else. Reteaching helps deepen
understanding and strengthen memory.
Get Enough Rest: Make sure to give your brain enough rest. Good sleep plays an
important role in consolidating memories.
Time Management: Manage study time wisely. Avoid cramming and allow enough time
to understand the material thoroughly.
Association and Imagination: Link new information to existing knowledge and use
imagination to make concepts come alive.
By combining some of these strategies, you can increase the likelihood that learning
will become long-term memory.

Key ideas
+ Other people are important in the arrangement and modification of mental constructs.
In drawing conclusions about constructivism, you may find it valuable to survey the
disadvantages as well as the benefits of the theory. Although a constructivist approach to
teaching, learning and educational module has been recommended in schools since the 1960s,
some critics argue that it is still difficult to see constructivist principles acted out in the
classroom. Indeed, we can identify several reasons why teachers might resist constructivist
practices.
+ Schools must generally follow forced educational program, the rigidity of which often makes
it difficult for teachers to respond to pupils' constructions of information.
+ Class measure can make individual examinations of pupils' movement through the ZPD
difficult.
+ Teachers may feel or find that classroom discussion is wasteful in facilitating learning.
+ Teachers attempting to apply constructivist principles may have concerns almost classroom
control and understudy behaviour.
+ It may be troublesome to survey and assess the degree of pupils' learning in a constructivist
classroom.
On the other hand, it is clear that many effective educational practices are directly influenced
by constructivism, so it should still be of interest and use to all educators since it supports much
of what they do, indeed if they are not aware of it. For example, the current interest in group
and project work at educational levels ranging from the primary school to university level
suggests that shared meaning-making is important for reasons extending from increased
motivation to enhanced task performance.
Constructivism is a learning theory that emphasizes the active role of learners in constructing
their own understanding of knowledge and reality. Developed by educational theorists such as
Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky, constructivism posits that learning is not merely the passive
absorption of information but rather a dynamic process in which learners actively build their
knowledge through interactions with their environment and social interactions.
3. Social Interaction: Social interaction plays a crucial role in constructivist learning. According
to Vygotsky's sociocultural theory, interactions with others, particularly more knowledgeable
peers or instructors, facilitate cognitive development. Collaborative learning, discussions, and
group activities are common strategies in constructivist approaches.
6. Student-Centered Learning:In constructivism, the learner takes center stage, and the role of
the teacher shifts from being a "sage on the stage" to a "guide on the side." Teachers facilitate
learning experiences, encourage exploration, and provide support as needed.
Constructivist approaches have been widely adopted in education and have influenced
curriculum design, instructional strategies, and assessment practices. Project-based learning,
problem-based learning, and inquiry-based learning are examples of instructional methods
aligned with constructivist principles. It's important to note that there are variations in the
interpretation and application of constructivism, leading to different subtypes such as social
constructivism and radical constructivism. Despite these variations, the core idea remains that
learning is an active, constructive process influenced by social and cognitive factors.

Key ideas
various groups.
For behaviourists, learning may be a conditioned individual reaction to stimuli; for cognitivists,
it is the individual application of mental processes; for constructivists, it revolves around the
construction of meaning. For social learning theorists however, learning is the item of shared
experiences in a extend of social settings. This chapter diagrams some viewpoints of social
learning. Drawing on the work of Durkheim and his successors, it explores learning as a process
of socialization and the way societal structures and lesson influence learning. The chapter also
appears how social processes are included in establishing learner self-esteem. It appears that
social impacts on individual psychology are not essentially in one direction; there is a energetic
and complementary relationship in which social environment, activity and individual interact.
It reminds the educator that learning is not just an individual activity; it is implanted within the
social fabric of society and both reflects and influences social processes. However, it also
invites reflection on the limitations of the educator's influence over learning. The teacher and
the classroom form only minor parts of the learner's world. There a pressure between structure
and organization both for the learner and the educator. The learner's own agency in engaging
in learning is constrained by class and social structures. Additionally, the teacher's own
organization in teaching is constrained by the educational system and an failure to change many
features of the learner's involvement. In any case, for many oppressed or socially disadvantaged
people, education is a major tool for combating oppression and disadvantage and offers an road
for progression and social progress.
Social learning theory, developed by Albert Bandura, emphasizes the importance of social
interactions in the learning process. This theory posits that individuals learn from observing
others, modeling their behavior, and imitating actions that are reinforced or rewarded. Social
learning theory incorporates cognitive processes, such as attention, memory, and motivation,
in understanding how people acquire new behaviors and skills.
2. Modeling: Models are individuals whose behavior serves as examples for others to imitate.
Models can be real people, characters in the media, or symbolic representations. The
effectiveness of modeling is influenced by factors such as the model's credibility, the
complexity of the behavior, and the consequences associated with the behavior.
3. Imitation: Imitation is a key mechanism in social learning. Individuals are more likely to
imitate behaviors they find rewarding or that lead to positive outcomes. The observed
consequences of a behavior, whether positive or negative, play a crucial role in shaping the
likelihood of imitation.
4. Vicarious Reinforcement:in social learning theory, reinforcement can be direct or vicarious.
Vicarious reinforcement occurs when individuals learn from the consequences experienced by
others. If a model is rewarded or punished for a behavior, observers may adjust their own
likelihood of performing that behavior based on the observed outcomes.
Social learning theory has been influential in various fields, including education, psychology,
and communication. It has practical applications in areas such as classroom instruction,
behavioral therapy, and the design of persuasive communication campaigns.
Bandura's social cognitive theory, an extension of social learning theory, incorporates cognitive
processes such as self-efficacy, which refers to an individual's belief in their ability to
successfully perform a specific task or behavior. This addition further highlights the role of
cognitive factors in learning and behavior change.

This chapter explores cultural issues in education and raises the consciousness of educators to
cultural differences in education and how it is showed in attitudes, A Direct FOR Teachers
behaviour, interpersonal relations and language. It contributes to a more extensive modern talk
about about separation in learning and how it can be achieved. It also offers some strategies for
multicultural classrooms and cautions educators to their possess culture and the way they may
force it. However, while cultural diversity should be recognized and celebrated, the reality of
multiple cultures in a classroom may mean that obliging one culture may be disrespectful to
another. There is also the opposite problem of cultural political rightness that attempts to avoid
any cultural references in classrooms so that history and values are reduced. One of the
capacities of school is to transmit the culture of the surrounding society; yet, as many societies
from Australia Canada have found, there's an inescapable tension between the transmission of
a culture and the accommodation of difference. In one sense the world is becoming more
homogenous culturally. Separation in education may give a means of protecting and celebrating
cultural character, history and traditions.
Cultural learning refers to the process through which individuals acquire and internalize the
values, beliefs, norms, customs, behaviors, and other elements of a specific culture. This form
of learning is deeply rooted in social interactions within a cultural context and involves both
explicit and implicit transmission of knowledge and practices from one generation to another.
1. Social Transmission: Cultural learning primarily occurs through social transmission, where
individuals acquire cultural knowledge and behaviors by interacting with others in their social
environment. This can take place within families, communities, educational institutions, and
through broader societal influences.
2. Observation and Imitation:Similar to social learning theory, cultural learning often involves
observation and imitation. Individuals learn by observing the behaviors and practices of others
within their cultural community, and they may imitate these actions to conform to cultural
expectations.
4. Enculturation: Enculturation is the process by which individuals learn and internalize the
cultural norms and values of their society. This often begins in childhood and continues
throughout one's life. Family, peers, schools, media, and other social institutions contribute to
the enculturation process.
7. Cultural Adaptation: Cultural learning is dynamic and involves the ability to adapt to changes
in the cultural environment. Individuals may learn to navigate and adapt to new cultural norms
and practices, especially in multicultural or globalized settings.
8.Intergenerational Transfer: Cultural learning involves the transfer of knowledge and practices
from one generation to the next. Elders often play a crucial role in passing down cultural
traditions, rituals, and wisdom to younger members of the community.
Cultural learning is a multifaceted process that shapes individuals' identities, perspectives, and
behaviors. It influences how people perceive the world, interact with others, and contribute to
the continuity or evolution of their cultural heritage. The study of cultural learning is
interdisciplinary, involving fields such as anthropology, sociology, psychology, and education.
Understanding cultural learning is essential for appreciating the richness and diversity of
human societies.
2. Question by : Hikma
What is the group's response regarding children in Indonesia who prefer to absorb
foreign culture rather than the culture of our own country?
One of the reason is that the colonial education which has been embedded in many
nations. The colonial period taught that anything related to western culture is far
superior and it was the British empire who was most successful in implementing such
thoughts. Countries which had less British influences are far more self sufficient still
and enjoying their own form of pop cultures such as China.
We have learnt about western imperialism through the media and this time it was United
States from the Frankfurt School in the 70s. You can study on Frankfurt school and
check what they are saying about homogenizing culture and making people believe that
this is the only and true culture to experience.
The other simple truth is accessibility. Western culture consists of popular songs, lyrics
and story lines in the movies. Popular culture or pop culture is about the happenings of
the ordinary lives, often universally true. Hence they are easier to access and feel
despite of cultural differences. Western media is far more democratic hence western
pop culture can talk about things Easterners would get arrested for still.
English language is the main form of communication in the world. French, Arabic,
Spanish, Italian, Hindi, Urdu come later. Again due to the global colonial history more
people have access to pop culture expressed in English language. It is also popularly
agreed that one can express the most difficult truth or emotions in the most simplistic
way in English language hence it is a desirable form of communication.
3. Question by : Ramadhan
Why are foreigners (westerners) more sensitive to cultural differences?
One reason could be the historical dominance of Western cultures in global affairs,
which often leads to greater scrutiny and awareness of cultural differences.
Additionally, Western societies often prioritize discussions around diversity,
multiculturalism, and cultural sensitivity, leading to a heightened awareness and
sensitivity to cultural issues. Conversely, in some cases, indigenous cultures might have
faced suppression or marginalization, impacting the visibility or perceived sensitivity
towards their cultures. It's essential to approach these differences with respect and
understanding
