① Put forward a unique view of nature education. The nature education advocated by Rousseau has two meanings: one is "returning to nature", which advocates that education should stay away from the noisy urban society and return to intact nature, which is conducive to maintaining people's kind nature. Therefore, education before 15 years old must be carried out in rural areas far away from cities; The second is "negative education", which advocates that education should follow the natural nature and conform to the order of children's physical and mental development, that is, children are required to play an active role in their own education and growth, and teachers only need to create a learning environment and guard against adverse effects.
② Put forward the goal of "natural person" as opposed to civic education. A "natural person" is a person who is independent, equal, free, self-reliant, moral, highly capable and intelligent.
③ Propose unique staged education. The growth of natural people is divided into four stages, and the training objectives and methods of each stage are put forward according to the age, and the naturalistic educational thought is infiltrated by adopting specific content. In addition, women's education is emphasized.
Causes of the characteristics of Rousseau s educational thought;
(1) feudal autocracy. The formation of Rousseau's educational thought is mainly related to his time environment. /kloc-in the 0/8th century, Europe was still under the rule of feudal system, and most countries still adhered to the old way, using feudal autocracy to carry out cruel rule, using feudal ideas to bind people's thoughts and stifle human nature to prevent the spread of bourgeois ideas.
② Suppress religious thoughts. The bourgeois ideology of freedom and democracy is denounced as heresy, and it is often suppressed and destroyed as soon as it appears. In addition, religious thoughts are also in a dominant position, which cannot be spread by other academics. The implementation of religious education cruelly suppresses children's physical and mental development, which is not conducive to their growth.
(3) The spread of bourgeois freedom and democracy has played an enlightening role in people's thoughts, challenged the mainstream thoughts of society and changed the social atmosphere. In this case, Rousseau lashed out at the decadent politics, religion and especially education in France at that time. His feudalism education which destroyed children's body and mind, such as hatred, mercilessly exposed all kinds of disadvantages of suppressing children's personality and demanded fundamental improvement.
