The requirements, contents and methods of education and teaching should not be uniform, and students of different ages should not be confused. At the same time, we should also see the mutual connection between different age stages, which should not be completely separated artificially, and pay attention to the "convergence" work between different stages.
2. Education should follow the order of children's physical and mental development. Generally speaking, children's development is carried out in a certain order, and education should follow the nature of children's development so as not to be "reckless".
The development of human body and mind is a continuous development process from low level to high level, from simple to complex, from quantitative change to qualitative change. Therefore, education should be gradual.
All the teaching of knowledge and skills, the development of intelligence, the enhancement of physique and the cultivation of ideology and morality should follow the order from concrete to abstract, from simple to complex, and from low to high. We can neither "encourage others by pulling out seedlings" nor "practice with dignity", let alone suppress students' development and passively accommodate their existing development level.
3. Education should also take care of the imbalance of children's physical and mental development. The development of different children has its particularity on the basis of overall consistency, and the same child also has different development characteristics at different stages of development.
Extended data:
Children's education involves the following theoretical issues:
First, the effects of heredity, environment and education on children's psychological development. It is not congenital inheritance that plays a decisive role in children's psychological development. Heredity only provides a natural premise for children's psychological development, but it cannot determine children's psychological development. Environment and education play a decisive role in children's psychological development, while education plays a leading role.
Second, the motivation or internal contradiction of children's psychological development. The driving force or fundamental reason for the development of all things lies not in the outside of things, but in the inside of things, that is, the contradictions that exist inside things. The same is true of children's psychological development.
Third, the relationship between education and children's psychological development. Environment and education play a decisive role in children's psychological development, but they do not mechanically determine children's psychological development. It must be realized through the internal reasons of children's psychology.
Fourth, the relationship between children's psychological development and development stages. On the one hand, children's psychology is constantly developing, but at the same time there are stages. It is wrong to see only one side of sustainable development or only one side of development stage.
