"Only education that can stimulate students' autonomous learning is the real education. "Stimulating students' autonomous learning needs to improve the artistry and interest of teaching, but the basic quality of students' autonomous learning is an idea, a spirit and a good behavior habit, and we can't abandon this or that.

No one will deny the positive role of interest. Whether you are interested or not, the efficiency and results of learning are absolutely different. Generally speaking, people will take the initiative to learn what they are interested in, and may show extraordinary spirituality and even reach the realm of self-study. However, emphasizing interest is the best teacher, and what people bring is not necessarily the ideal result.

Adults have a certain degree of self-control in doing things, even if they don't like things, they may achieve certain achievements through extraordinary perseverance, while children lack willpower and need interest guidance and support in learning, which is certain. Therefore, we say that cultivating interest should be guided by the situation.

Interest teaching

It means that teachers adopt flexible methods according to the teaching objects and teaching contents, make use of students' curiosity, rebellious psychology and curiosity, create a harmonious and warm atmosphere, stimulate students' thirst for knowledge, and enable students to accept knowledge and master skills in emotional pleasure, thus achieving the best teaching effect.

The representatives of interest teaching are German educator Herbart and American progressive educator Dewey.
