    In the subsequent sections of this essay, and effective structured path will be followed to fulfil the objectives of the essay. In the first section, it will be focused on the Idealism Score principles, outlining its impact on the pedagogy. Following this, it will be effectively focused to critically evaluate the positive aspects and the potential drawbacks of idealism within the Australian educational context. Moving to conservatism, we will explore these fundamental tenets and how they manifest its educational practices. Furthermore, a critical analysis will be conducted highlighting both the advantages and the limitations of the conservatism within the Australian education system. Theory in Australian education system will be examined and the influence on the educational philosophy will be depicted. It is also effective to assess the positive contributions and the potential challenges posed by the critical theory within the Australian educational landscape.

Idealism in Education
    Idealism as an educational philosophy is firmly grounded in the belief that ideas and concepts and the knowledge form the bedrock of the human existence. It asserts that the pursuit of truth, ethical values and intellectual growth should be the primary objectives of the education. The effective principles are focused on the primacy of mind, emphasis on truth and ethics, and the intellectual development. Idealism places the human mind at the forefront of the educational process. It contains that knowledge is not something external, but resides within the individual's mind, waiting to be discovered through introspection and intellectual exploration. Central to the idealism is the emphasis on the pursuit of truth, goodness, and moral values. This philosophy sees education as a means of instilling ethical and principles and virtues in students. Another advantage, it is also focused on nurturing them to become morally upright individuals (Vidal-Hall et al., 2020). Idealism views education as the path to intellectual development, critical thinking, and cultivation of the wisdom. It esteems the study of classic literature, philosophy, and humanities as the essential components of the well-rounded education.
    It is effective to discuss about the positive aspects of the idealism. One of the standout strengths of idealism is its unwavering emphasis on knowledge. This focus encourages students to engage deeply with the subjects and promotes intellectual growth, potentially resulting in well informed and thoughtful individuals (Waghid et al., 2020). Idealism 's commitment to ethics contributes to the development of the morally responsible citizens. By nurturing and awareness of ethical principles and social justice, it helps to shape the individuals who actively participate in building a just society.
    A notable criticism of idealism is its limited adaptability and its strong emphasis on abstract ideas and classical knowledge that may not readily accommodate the diverse and rapidly changing needs of the contemporary education (Woll, 2020). The rigid adherence to the traditional pedagogical methods may hinder responsiveness to evolving educational requirements.
Analysis of Australian Context
    Idealism aligns harmoniously with the Australian education system, which prioritizes critically thinking and ethics. The Australian cu
iculum explicitly underscores the importance of fostering critical and creative thinking skills, as well as promoting ethical understanding among students (Zhang, 2021). Idealisms, commitment to pursuit of truth, and ethical values closely aligns with these educational goals. While the aspect of idealism emphasizes on the knowledge and ethics in values, it is effective to be thoughtful with the integrated aspects with other educational philosophies to effectively accommodate the diverse needs of Australian students. The education system of Australia serves as a multicultural student body and it is crucial that the educational practices respect and incorporate diverse cultural perspectives (Vidal-Hall et al., 2020). Idealism’s classical and universal focus may need supplementation with the content that reflects the cultural diversity of the student population. To prepare the students for the demands of the modern workforce are balanced aspects must be provided. This approach should incorporate the aspects of the effective documentation and the probable methods to ensure the cultural perspectives of the universal aspects and the classical focus (Rose et al., 2021). This combination ensures students not only knowledgeable but also equipped with practical capabilities. Recognizing the students having varying learning styles and preferences are balanced approach should provide opportunities for the individualization (Popova et al., 2020). This acknowledges that not all student thrives under the same pedagogical methods and allows for the tailored education to meet the individual needs. 
    Idealism’s emphasis on knowledge and ethics aligns seamlessly within the goals of the Australian education, particularly the emphasis on the critical thinking and ethics. However, to effectively address the diverse needs of the Australian students are balanced approach is essential (Neergaard et al., 2020). This approach should encompass the cultural sensitivity, the development of the practical skills and the provisions of the opportunities for individualized learning experiences. By striking this balance, idealism can be integrated effectively into the rich tapestry of the Australian education.
