First, the purpose of education is to let people know the existence of individuals and form their own unique way of life. Education should be "student-centered", so that students can form a sincere, selective and responsible attitude towards life. The purpose of the course is to meet the needs of students' personal free development, potential development and self-realization. Self-realization is the fundamental purpose and core of the course. Schools should allow learners to make mistakes, do experiments and express themselves until they find themselves. Rogers once criticized and overemphasized knowledge as the tragedy of modern education.

Secondly, humanists criticize the traditional curriculum for paying too much attention to subject logic and ignoring students' psychological logic. They advocate paying attention to students' learning reasons, emotions, beliefs and intentions from the perspective of students' complete personality, advocating the integration of learners' psychological development with the structural logic of textbooks, the integration of emotional fields and cognitive fields, and the integration of related disciplines under the guidance of experience, paying attention to the development of students' emotions, attitudes and values, and emphasizing that curriculum should be based on humanities, which should be conducive to students' search and discovery of personal significance.

Third, it is required to establish an emotional relationship of mutual trust between teachers and students. It is believed that the relationship between teachers and students is "you and me", and teachers should present courses and textbooks imaginatively, thus forming a warm and safe situation to promote students' learning. Teaching is to teach children, not just textbooks. To start real learning, children must participate in the teaching process. Teachers should believe that every student can learn and succeed.

Fourth, we oppose all kinds of mechanical and rigid measurement and examination, and think that these means conflict with the goal of students' free development. Humanists pay attention to the growth process of learners and attach importance to activities such as inspiration, discussion, thinking, exploration, discovery and expression. Emphasize the subjective evaluation of teachers and students, and encourage students to develop freely in imagination, words, pictures, performances, games, handicrafts, poetry and other activities by designing presentation reports, learning files, contract evaluation and self-evaluation.

Characteristics of humanistic educational thought;

(1) Humanism.

Humanism education pays attention to personality development in training objectives, opposes asceticism in teaching methods, respects children's nature and fully affirms human strength and value.

(2) classicism.

Offering classical courses is by no means purely "retro", but actually serves the past and reorganizes the past.

(3) Secularity.

The purpose and curriculum of education are permeated with a strong secular spirit, and education pays more attention to this life than the afterlife, which is the fundamental difference between humanistic education and medieval education.

(4) religion.

Almost all humanist educators believe in God. Although they criticized the shortcomings of the Catholic Church, they did not oppose religion and did not intend to destroy it. Instead, the secular and humanistic spirit is used to transform the stale religiosity in the Middle Ages, thus creating a more secular and humanized religiosity.

(5) the aristocratic class.

This is determined by the nature of the Renaissance movement (not the mass movement). The object of humanistic education is mainly the children of the upper class, and the forms of education are mostly court education and family education, not mass education. The main purpose of education is to cultivate upper-class people.
