Suhomlinski's profile is as follows:
Suhomlinski emphasized the cultivation of people with "all-round and harmonious development of personality". He believes that in order for students to realize the comprehensive and harmonious development of personality, the first thing is to discover "the wealth hidden in everyone's heart" as much as possible. This wealth is the potential intelligence of students, and education should let students see their own characteristics and generate self-confidence.
Especially for students with poor intelligence, students can't be measured by a ruler, and they can't "see only one petal but not the whole flower". In terms of educational content, Suhomlinski advocates the coordinated development of moral education, intellectual education, physical education, aesthetic education and labor education.
In his view, all aspects of education are interrelated and interpenetrating, and it is an organic, unified and complete process, and the central links that play a decisive role are moral education, intellectual education and labor education.
Another feature of Suhomlinski's educational thought of "comprehensive and harmonious development of personality" is to advocate "self-education", which is the key factor for students to truly receive education and become people with "comprehensive and harmonious development of personality". "Self-education" requires self-esteem, self-restraint and self-improvement education for students.
