Abstract
Educational activities are activities between educator and students. In other words, educational activities are activities between humans. Therefore, an understanding of the nature of human beings is absolutely necessary, in this case the understanding of student as human beings is very important so that the direction and goals can be achieved. Understanding of education/learning processes and methods is also important because the choice of education/learning methods is not solely in accordance with a taste of the teacher. However, it is very much related to educational/learning goals, and more importantly is the reason why choosing a particular method and not others. In addition, the value that underlie the activities and at the same time become the target of educational activities should also not be ignored by an educator/teacher, because the essence of educational activities is how those values internalize in students. This is the philosophical foundation of education.
