Student-centered curriculum theory: represented by Dewey and Rogers
The student-centered curriculum theory is an educational theory based on children's personality and interests. Dewey and Rogers are representatives of this theory. They emphasize that the curriculum should be centered on children's activities, and advocate replacing subject teaching with children's direct experience, so as to help students understand the personal meaning of knowledge and integrate the curriculum content with students' emotions, cognition and behavior.

Focus on children's activities

Dewey believes that curriculum should focus on children's activities, not subjects or textbooks. He advocates replacing subject teaching with children's direct experience, so that children can learn in practice and better master knowledge and skills.

Students' Subjectivity and Self-intervention

Rogers emphasizes students' subjectivity and self-intervention, and thinks that education should help students understand the personal meaning of knowledge and integrate the course content with students' emotion, cognition and behavior. Only in this way can students truly understand and master knowledge, so as to better play their potential.

Provide the experience of personality growth and liberation.

The school curriculum should provide the experience of personality growth and liberation to meet the needs of each student. Only in this way can students really develop their potential and maximize their self-worth.
