Social studies was founded in Yuan Dynasty to solve the educational problems in rural areas, improve the cultural quality of farmers and cultivate loyal subjects under feudal rule. The emergence of sociology had an important influence on the development of ancient education in China. The following describes the innovation of sociology from several aspects.
First of all, the establishment of sociology is based on the actual needs of rural areas.
During the Yuan Dynasty, with the expansion of national territory, the demand for education in rural areas increased day by day. However, at that time, rural education conditions were relatively backward and there were no formal educational institutions. In order to solve this problem, the Yuan government put forward measures to establish social science. By establishing a school in each cooperative, children in rural areas have the opportunity to receive education and the cultural quality of farmers has been improved.
Secondly, the educational content of social studies is targeted.
Social studies mainly teaches classic works such as Xiao Jing, Primary School, University, Analects of Confucius and Mencius, as well as agricultural knowledge and technical skills. This design of educational content not only inherits traditional culture, but also meets the actual needs of rural areas. By learning this knowledge, farmers can improve their moral quality and better serve the feudal rule.
Third, the teaching method of social studies is flexible.
Social studies are taught in the off-season, giving students the opportunity to receive education after work. This flexible education method meets the needs of rural farmers and enables them to continuously improve their cultural literacy in the busy agricultural production.
In addition, social studies also has the nature of righteousness.
Social studies not only provides education for children in rural areas, but also provides free education for students from poor families. This practice makes social studies the embodiment of rural education equity, and gives every child the opportunity to receive education, regardless of the rich or the poor.
Finally, the establishment of sociology has also played a positive role in social stability in rural areas.
Through sociological education, farmers' moral quality and social atmosphere have been improved. At the same time, sociology also provides a platform for farmers to communicate and strengthens the cohesion of rural communities.
In a word, sociology is an innovation of school types in Yuan Dynasty, which provided strong support for the development of rural education. Through social research, the Yuan government successfully solved the problem of rural education, improved the cultural quality of farmers and served the feudal rule. At the same time, the establishment of social science also provides valuable experience for the later development of education, which is worth our in-depth study and research.
