The new education movement was a bourgeois education reform movement that appeared in Europe from the end of 19 to the beginning of the 20th century. Its main content is to establish a new school completely different from the old traditional school in educational purpose, content and method, so it is also called the new school movement.
/kloc-at the end of 0/9, capitalism entered a monopoly period. The new economic and political situation needs talents with the initiative and ability to explore the cause of capitalism. The aristocratic school education that only emphasizes book knowledge and is arrogant and lazy can no longer meet the requirements and must be reformed. 1889, C. Reddy of Britain founded the first new school in Europe, namely Albert Family School.

Reddy condemned that education at that time could not meet the needs of modern life, and only made people for the past, not for the modern. The principles of his new school are: to cultivate students into independent people with all-round development of personality, ability, wisdom, physical strength and manual skills; Oppose reading, require education to be linked with life, and combine theory with practice.
E de Maureen of France agrees with Reddy's educational thoughts and supports his activities. He founded Roche School in France on 1898, and published the book "New Education". He pointed out that the new school must attach importance to the cultivation of practical knowledge and practical ability, and students should develop in free activities. In the same year, educator H. opened a similar school in Germany called "Rural Boarding School".
Since then, various new schools have been established in Belgium, Italy and the United States. For example, Italian educator M. Montessori founded "Children's Home" in Rome in 1907 on the basis of psychological and educational research on children with mental retardation, and provided "free education" for normal children. The Belgian educator O. Decroo founded the "School of Life" in Brussels on 1907.
The practice of these "new schools" quickly received enthusiastic response in European countries and the United States, and thus formed a wide range of new education movements. After the new education was introduced into the United States, it was immediately combined with the American progressive education movement, forming a more powerful modern education movement, and obtained theoretical argumentation from the American pragmatic education theory.
Later, Gary School System, Winnett Card System, Dalton System and Design Teaching Method, which came into being in the United States, basically belong to the category of new education.
