What is Herbart's purpose of attaching importance to children's interests and psychology?
Herbart attaches importance to children's interests and psychological characteristics in teaching, but this emphasis is subject to the premise of teacher-centered systematic knowledge transfer.

Herbart attaches importance to children's interests and psychology in order to make teachers teach more effectively, rather than let students learn from experience actively. Later, Dewey regarded Herbart as the representative of traditional education and criticized his psychology as "teacher psychology" rather than "child psychology", which was also reasonable.
