The educational thought advocated by Confucius in his educational activities and practice not only laid the theoretical foundation of China's ancient education, but also had an important influence and enlightenment on today's education.
Confucius' educational thought gives us beneficial enlightenment mainly in the following aspects. First, China put forward for the first time in history that "people are similar in gender, or far apart in knowledge", arguing that people's natural qualities are similar, while people's personality differences are mainly formed by the influence of acquired education and social environment.
This assertion is not only confirmed by modern educational science, but also regarded as an important factor of human growth.
Second, Confucius took the lead in putting forward the educational principle of "teaching without class". In other words, he advocates that everyone can receive education and everyone should receive education.
Emphasize the universality and fairness of education.
This not only played an irreplaceable role in expanding the scope of education during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Old Warring States Period, conforming to the social development trend at that time and improving the national quality and cultural heritage, but also implemented nine-year compulsory education in China, vigorously popularized high school education and even urban and rural education, and managed a fair and high-quality education.
Thirdly, Confucius has always advocated that "learning to be excellent is to be an official", and its educational purpose is to cultivate a gentleman in politics who "is filial when his disciples enter, filial when they leave, respects teachers and respects morality, loves the public and spares no effort to learn literature"
In the new era, this thought should take "moral education" as the fundamental task of education, school education should put moral character first, and strengthening the teaching of ideological and political courses must have certain reference function.
Fourthly, "learning and knowing" is the main content of Confucius' educational thought.
While advocating not being ashamed to ask questions and learning with an open mind, he also emphasized that "learning without thinking is useless, and thinking without learning is dangerous." Wonderful learning should be combined with thinking, "learning is useful" and the knowledge learned should be applied to social practice.
It is still very meaningful to integrate theory with practice and academic integration.
5. In terms of educational methods, Confucius advocated the educational concept of "teaching without distinction" and "managing the country to help the world", as well as the methodology of "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude" and "enlightenment" education, and attached importance to enlightenment education.
He teaches students to have a correct learning attitude, learn with an open mind, review what they have learned frequently, and "review the past and learn new things". He emphasizes the stimulation and dissemination of new knowledge, and pays attention to the development of students' divergent thinking, that is, "draw inferences from others".
He first put forward heuristic education in educational activities.
He said, "Not angry, not cold.
This is of great benefit to the education reform in the new era and the cultivation of students' autonomous learning ability.
6. Confucius loved education and engaged in educational activities all his life.
He said: "act in the right identity and without orders; He is not upright, does not obey, never tires of learning, and never tires of teaching.
He stressed that we should not only set an example for teachers, but also combine "words and deeds" with "words and deeds" to set an example. Confucius said, "If you have words, you will lose people; Can't say, but can't say, is a slip of the tongue ",this is how incisive! This enlightens us that today's teachers should treat others with righteousness, treat themselves with righteousness, and "take righteousness as a model."
7. Confucius studied tirelessly.
He said, "In a city with ten rooms, there must be a mountain of loyalty and righteousness. It is better to learn it." In other words, my neighbors will definitely value loyalty as my mound, but they may not be as eager to learn as I am.
This tireless learning spirit has not only become a shining example of intellectuals' "never too old to learn" for thousands of years, but also has important value for building a lifelong learning society today.
Due to the restriction of social conditions at that time, it was impossible for Confucius to put forward the viewpoint of "lifelong learning", but in fact, Confucius' "never tire of learning and never tire of teaching" contained the idea of continuous learning.
Nowadays, only by lifelong learning can teachers meet the needs of the rapid development of education and have the capital to "teach people tirelessly".
Eight, Confucius pays attention to the "six arts" in educational content. That is, "ceremony, music, shooting, restraint, writing and counting." Specifically, it is etiquette and morality, music and dance, archery, horse riding, calligraphy and calculation.
His Confucianism advocates "benevolence" and "wisdom", aiming at cultivating virtuous "sages".
Although educational thought serves the ruling class to a certain extent, it still has important reference significance for quality education today.
A century-long plan, education-oriented.
The quantity and quality of educational talents are related to the future and destiny of the country.
Therefore, we should learn from Confucius, change the mode of education development, vigorously develop quality education, focus on improving the quality of personnel training, and take the "connotative" development path of education. Qi Xin will work together to train better and higher-level talents for China's modernization.
