Tao Xingzhi's life education theory is the theoretical basis of Tao Xingzhi's educational thought, including the purpose, content and method of education. Its basic contents are mainly "life is education", "society is school" and "teaching integration". "Life is education" is the core of Tao Xingzhi's life education theory. Life education is innate. In the relationship between life and education, life determines education. Life determines the purpose and content of education, the principles and policies of education, and the methods and means of education. But Tao Xingzhi also pointed out that education is not a passive adaptation to life, and education is counterproductive to life. Education reacts to life, choosing and transforming life. "Society is school" is another important proposition of life education theory, which emphasizes expanding the scope of school education and taking life as the central content of school. Oppose dead education and schools divorced from social life, instead of advocating the abolition of schools. "Integration of teaching and doing" is the teaching method theory of life education theory. The meaning of "integration of teaching and learning" is that the method of teaching should be based on the method of learning, and the method of learning should be based on the method of doing, and how to teach should be done.

Tao Xingzhi's life education theory not only adapts to the national conditions of modern China, but also is closely related to current education. Studying and studying Tao Xingzhi's life education theory seriously is of great practical significance for promoting China's current education reform. . . The phenomenon of attaching importance to knowledge transmission and neglecting the cultivation of practical ability is still widespread. Teachers teach for exams and students study for exams. In order to get good grades, they unilaterally emphasize the intellectual education of students, ignoring the education of morality, intelligence, physical beauty and productive labor and the cultivation of ability and psychological quality. Now we have realized that this kind of education can't meet the needs of social development, and we should strengthen the study and research of life education theory. We should learn from the teaching method of "teaching, learning and doing in one", downplay individual achievements, emphasize group spirit, and comprehensively implement the teaching reform of quality education in China, so as to liberate students from heavy academic and psychological burdens and promote their harmonious and healthy growth and development.
