Herbart's management method
Herbart advocates putting management in the first place in the whole educational process. He put forward a series of specific management methods, the most striking of which is the threat of punishment. In addition, he also brought us three teaching methods and four-stage teaching procedures, which provided clear guidance for educators.
Herbart's "Three Centers" Theory
Herbart put forward the famous "three centers" theory: teacher center, classroom center and teaching material center. These viewpoints highlight the key points in his educational process.
Dewey's View of Educational Innovation
Dewey advocated "education is growth", "education is life" and "education is the constant transformation of experience". He believes that education is essentially "the transformation or reorganization of experience" and advocates the teaching principle of "learning by doing". Compared with traditional teaching, he pays more attention to activity teaching, hoping to provide children with enough exercise space and various materials and tools.
Dewey's educational practice
Dewey advocates the establishment of laboratories, workshops and gardens in schools, so that children can learn in production, rather than simply sitting on neat desks and chairs to attend classes. He believes that the traditional classroom teaching form is too passive, and hopes to provide children with enough exercise space in the classroom.
The ideological collision between two educators
Herbart and Dewey's educational thoughts have their own characteristics. The difference between them not only reflects the educational needs of different times, but also provides us with valuable thinking space. In today's educational practice, we can learn from their strengths and create a more perfect educational environment for children!
