(a) Education for eternal values & Naturalism
Naturalism focuses on education according to nature and natural laws. This perspective can interpret fundamental principles derived from nature as 'eternal values' that education should instill.

Pragmatism emphasizes learning through experience, problem-solving, and social interaction. Education for democracy aligns with this by preparing individuals for active participation, critical thinking, and social adaptation within a democratic society.
(c) Emphasis on mass production & Realism
Realism advocates for education that prepares individuals for the objective realities of life and work. An emphasis on mass production fits within this school's focus on practical skills and societal functions, including vocational training for economic contributions.
