'Individual differences' in the learning process are given the least importance in

Idealism gives individual differences the least importance, as it aims at universal, absolute and spiritual truths common to all minds.

It stresses eternal ideas and values, so the same lofty ends are set for every learner regardless of personal variation.

Naturalism, led by Rousseau, is child centred and builds education around each child's own nature and pace.

Realism grounds learning in the external world and the senses, still accommodating differing observational abilities.

Pragmatism, led by Dewey, centres on individual experience and activity, valuing each learner's differences highly.

Idealist thinkers like Plato and Froebel direct education towards realizing universal ideals rather than personal idiosyncrasy.
