Many educational philosophers advocate different methods such as: Socratic Method (Dialectics), the inductive method, the deductive method, the analystic method of teaching & so on. According to Idealists, the philosophy of Idealism is not much concerned with with the choice of methods so long as its necessary objective is achieved that the enrichment of Personality of the public. In this way, it stresses on Instruction, activity and experience. It extols the method of creative spontaneous mental activity which leads to Self-expression & self-realization of the highest potentialities of the children. The essence of Idealistic method of teaching is activity & freedom which is regulated & guided by the teacher.
