Who is the father of pedagogy?
The father of pedagogy is Comenius. Comenius' universal wisdom education is based on the theory that universal wisdom and education conform to nature. Comenius' theory of universal wisdom is the unity of science and art including all disciplines. He advocates teaching all knowledge to all people. It is precisely because of this that Comenius advocates that everyone should receive education regardless of race, sex and class, which embodies the idea of equality and comprehensiveness in education. Comenius also believes that only by receiving proper education can one become a person.

Contribution of the Father of Pedagogy

In ancient China and the west, individual teaching system was mainly adopted, which mainly reflected teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. However, because there is no systematic teaching plan, the teaching efficiency is low. Comenius, the father of pedagogy, put forward the class teaching system, which is a form of collective teaching. Students are divided into classes and graded according to their age and existing knowledge, forming a fixed number of educational units, and teachers teach according to the curriculum plan and curriculum standards.
