How to evaluate Comenius' pre-school education thought?
On the positive side:

1/ Comenius formally brought preschool education into the education system and advocated the concept of universal implementation in the family, which attracted the attention of educators later. Generally speaking, his pre-school education thought is reasonable and scientific.

2/ Comenius put forward a series of requirements for educational democracy from the idea of "universal intelligence", emphasizing learning encyclopedic scientific knowledge beneficial to real life and developing human intelligence; Comenius studied and summarized a series of methods and measures to improve the efficiency of education and teaching, and made great contributions in the history of education.

The strong religious color in Comenius' educational thought is the inevitable reflection of his world view contradiction; There are also many unscientific and one-sided views, and their shortcomings are as follows:

1/ its preschool education overemphasizes the education and influence of religious etiquette on children's morality, which should be replaced by a more scientific preschool education system in the modern era of advocating science.

2/ The concept of universal intelligence makes it overemphasize the standardized education system. Although teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is emphasized, it is not supported by the supplementary system of personalized education, because the disadvantages of universal education are made up by the mechanism of discovering individual talents and the establishment of expert training system.

3/ Emphasize that children are the future of the country, and educational institutions must be undertaken by the country, not by other social institutions. This makes the establishment of schools have great limitations, which is not conducive to the introduction of social investment, and is not conducive to the integration, interaction and development of advanced teaching concepts and technologies with social needs. The above problems should be solved through partial privatization of education in a limited scope.

4/ He exaggerated the function of intuitive teaching. On the one hand, he advocates learning practical and useful knowledge, on the other hand, he strengthens the teaching of theology, which is very religious. Nevertheless, Comenius' educational thought still shines with immortal light and occupies an extremely important position in the history of modern education.
