Gu Mingyuan is one of the founders of comparative education in China, and he initiated the comparative education in China. Therefore, he served as one of the two presidents of the World Federation of Comparative Education. His "unity of subject and object" means that students are both the object and the subject of education, which is also the creative development of Dewey's educational thought by Gu Mingyuan combined with China's national conditions.
Analysis of educational concept
I have been engaged in normal education all my life, so I attach great importance to the growth and development of teachers. 1989 I once wrote a short article that the teaching profession must be irreplaceable. To this end, I worked hard to establish a master's degree in primary and secondary school teachers' education, which was finally approved by the the State Council Academic Degrees Committee at 1997.
Over the past 20 years, more than 320,000 people have studied for the master's degree in education, and more than 200,000 primary and secondary school teachers have obtained the master's degree. In 2009, the professional degree of doctor of education began to be established, and enrollment began on 20 10. 280 primary and secondary school teachers have successively obtained doctoral degrees, and a high-level professional teacher team has been trained.
Some work has been done for the construction of subject pedagogy. Normal universities need pedagogy, psychology, teaching materials and teaching methods to train normal students. Textbook teaching method is an important course to cultivate teachers' professional quality, but it has not been paid attention to by normal universities.
