First of all, introduction:

Comenius is known as the father of modern pedagogy, a great Czech educational reformer and theorist in17th century, and a great democratic educator. He is known as "the real founder of educational science" and "Copernicus in the history of education".

His main works are Great Teaching Theory, World Map, Mother-Child School, etc. The Great Teaching Theory is a sign that pedagogy has become an independent discipline, and it is the first systematic pedagogy work in the history of western education. It puts forward the popularization of primary education and invents the class teaching system. Parenting School can be said to be the first pre-school pedagogy book in the history of western education, and World Illustrate is the first textbook for children to read pictures in Europe.

Second, the educational thought:

Comenius, based on the lofty goal of education, put forward the pan-intellectualism education view of "teaching everyone everything", hoping to improve society and realize the equality of sects and nationalities through education. The theory of universal wisdom is the core of Comenius' educational thought. The so-called "cosmic wisdom" is an encyclopedic knowledge system.

Third, the educational proposition:

Put forward the democratic proposition of universal education, holding that "all young men and women, rich or poor, should go to school". In order to realize this idea and change the situation that teachers only teach and guide students individually, this paper summarizes the experience of implementing the class teaching system in old and new schools and makes a comprehensive and systematic discussion on the class teaching system.

Four. Evaluation:

1, advantages:

(1) He was the first thinker who proposed universal education in the history of education. As "On Great Religion" said at the beginning, it is "everything teaches everything to all people", which contains rich democratic and scientific ideas. His universal education and scientific and cultural thoughts pointed out the direction for modern education.

(2) He put forward and demonstrated the class teaching system and academic year system, which is a revolutionary innovation in the history of education and fundamentally changed the chaotic situation of random, disorderly and unplanned organization in the past. The basic form of our modern school education was thus laid.

(3) He drew up the first monorail system from preschool education to university education in the history of western education, and later developed into a lifelong education system, becoming a pioneer of modern monorail system and lifelong education.

(4) He systematically expounded the teaching methods and basic principles of teaching. In the Great Teaching Theory, he put forward the principle of natural adaptation and tried to establish a complete teaching method system based on natural laws. Strongly oppose the indoctrination teaching method, emphasizing the intuition, interest, perception and application of teaching. He called for teaching to be simple, thorough and fast.

2. Limitation: Comenius' thought is limited by his time and his own understanding, and it is also one-sided. For example, he exaggerated the role of intuitive teaching. On the one hand, he advocates learning practical and useful knowledge, on the other hand, he strengthens the teaching of theology, which is very religious.
