The main contents of Confucius' educational thought:
1, focusing on morality and paying attention to moral education.
In Confucius' educational thought, he attached great importance to moral education, cultivating students' sound personality and teaching students to learn to be human. Confucius regards moral education as the core of his educational thought and attaches importance to the cultivation of students' moral quality. Confucianism, represented by Confucius, has always advocated that individuals should have high moral quality and become gentlemen and sages.
Therefore, in his educational activities, Confucius first emphasized moral education for students, so that all students can improve their moral quality and become noble gentlemen. In the usual inspection of students, Confucius also regards students' moral cultivation as an important measure.
2. Confucius put forward the educational idea of "teaching without class"
Confucius lived in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Before Confucius, only the disciples of the upper class had the right and opportunity to receive education. Children of ordinary people have no chance to receive education. The right to education is monopolized by the upper class and is called "learning in the government".
Confucius founded the first private school in the history of China, which broke the situation of "being an official with excellent learning" and gave ordinary people's disciples an opportunity to receive education. Moreover, Confucius did not treat students differently because of their origins and family circumstances. "I don't regret tying myself up."
3. In terms of educational methods, Confucius pays attention to heuristic teaching.
Confucius said, "If you don't get angry, you won't get angry. If you don't raise a corner, if you use three corners instead, you will never get it again." It means that in the process of learning, don't guide students until they understand, don't inspire them until they have a good idea but can't fully express it, and don't give him any more examples if students can't draw inferences.
In other words, if students themselves have no desire to acquire knowledge, they will not be inspired and guided, and they will not be able to draw inferences from others, so don't give more examples.
Confucius attached great importance to students' dominant position and cultivated students' awareness of active learning and exploration. During his teaching career, Confucius was also able to apply heuristic teaching methods to concrete teaching practice.
