The name and origin of pedagogy;
From the origin, pedagogy in English-speaking countries, pedagogy in French-speaking countries and pedagogy in German-speaking countries all come from the word "pedagogy" in Greece, which means the method of caring for, managing and educating children. At the end of 19, people in English-speaking countries use "education" and "pedagogy" successively.
In China, "pedagogy" is a translated name, which should have been translated from Japanese in the early 20th century. The Greek word "teacher" means the way to take care of, manage and educate children. It took about 200 years before and after the symbol of educational independence appeared.
The research object of pedagogy:
There are various views on the research object of pedagogy, some people think it is an educational phenomenon, some people think it is an educational fact, some people think it is an educational law, some people think it is two or three of the above three, and some people generally think it is education or people. Most of these views are vague and specious.
The research object of pedagogy should be "educational problems" based on "educational facts" and guided by educational values, with the purpose of exploring and revealing the regular relationship between educational activities and serving educational practice.
Educational practice and the localization of pedagogy;
Teaching practice:
This problem is the relationship between academic and practical pedagogy. Theoretically speaking, the two are unified. Without an academic and complete theory, pedagogy cannot play a guiding role in practice.
The educational theory that is divorced from practice and can't guide practice will inevitably become empty conceptual thinking and fact analysis, and it is no longer a real academic. Judging from the actual situation, there is a phenomenon of separation that cannot be ignored in all countries in the world, and the result is that both sides lose.
Localization of pedagogy;
The human educational thought before modern times has the characteristics of multiple sources, and different nationalities have their own unique educational and cultural traditions. Since modern times, with the increasingly frequent international political, economic and cultural exchanges, the exchange of educational knowledge has also grown from scratch, from less to more, from shallow to deep.
