I. Origin

China's creative education can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Confucius, a great educator at that time, put forward the educational concepts of "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude" and "inspiring and inducing", emphasizing the cultivation of students' independent thinking and innovation ability by inspiring their thinking and creativity. However, the founder of creative education in the true sense is Tao Xingzhi, a famous educator in modern times.

Second, pioneer.

Tao Xingzhi is a pioneer of modern education reform in China. His "life education" theory emphasizes the integration of teaching and learning, that is, to cultivate students' creativity and practical ability through practice and innovation.

His educational thought emphasizes "learning from action, learning from action". This practice-oriented teaching mode not only cultivates students' practical ability and creativity, but also has a far-reaching impact on today's educational reform.

Third, the core of education.

Tao Xingzhi has profound and unique views on creative education. He believes that the purpose of education is to cultivate talents with innovative spirit and practical ability, rather than simply imparting knowledge. He advocates cultivating students' innovative consciousness and practical ability by stimulating their thinking and creativity, which is the core of creative education.

Fourth, the basic requirements

The theory and practice mode of creative education put forward by Tao Xingzhi had a far-reaching impact on the educational reform in China. He emphasized the importance of practice, innovation and independent thinking, which are the basic requirements for talents in modern society. His educational thoughts are not only widely used in China, but also influential all over the world.

Tao Xingzhi's three views

1, life is education

The core view of Tao Xingzhi's life education theory holds that education is accompanied by human life, life and education are inseparable, and education is lifelong.

2. Society is the school.

Tao Xingzhi's basic viewpoint is "society is school", and he advocates expanding schools to society, making society a school, and making schools turn book knowledge education into social activity education.

3. Teaching integration.

It means that the teaching content should be combined with students' life experience, so that students can apply what they have learned to real life. Teaching methods should be based on learning methods, learning methods should be based on doing methods, and both teaching and learning should be centered on doing.
