Pedagogy is a social science that studies human educational activities and their laws. It exists widely in human life. Through the study of educational phenomena and problems, the general laws of education are revealed.

For example, higher education is not a purely theoretical discipline, but an applied social science. Pan Maoyuan has a clear understanding of the disciplinary nature of higher education.

After in-depth thinking and research, when/kloc-0 gave a lecture at Hunan University in 1980, Pan Maoyuan formally proposed that education has two basic laws, one is the law of external relations, and the other is the law of internal relations, and pointed out that these two laws are closely related and interact with each other. Until today, this theory is still the theoretical guidance of higher education research.
