Towards a review study of realist pedagogy

Abstract

This study presents a review of the concept of Realist Pedagogy. To this end, the literature is examined through systematic documentary analysis combined with a hermeneutic interpretive approach, with the aim of identifying significant theoretical contributions. Accordingly, a systematic review is conducted by consulting multiple academic databases, quantitatively reporting the results according to their source, year of publication, and document type. Based on predefined inclusion criteria, relevant studies are selected for in-depth analysis, and hermeneutic interpretation is applied to examine key aspects such as the historical emergence of Realist Pedagogy, its principal reference authors, the epistemological perspectives it adopts, and the pedagogical thinkers that may be situated within this tradition, among other dimensions.
