1. Comenius
Comenius, a famous Czech educator, is known as "Copernicus in the history of education". He is deeply influenced by the spirit of humanism and has a strong democratic thought. The Great Teaching Theory published by Comenius 1632 is a sign that pedagogy has become an independent discipline. His main points:
First, education should conform to nature and not go against it. Man is a part of nature, and education should follow the principle of man's natural development. Secondly, the classroom teaching system, teaching principles and methods are systematically discussed. Thirdly, we should implement "universal education", teach ordinary people a wide range of knowledge of nature, and propose to teach all the arts to all mankind. He has compiled many teaching materials, such as Illustrated World.

2. Rousseau
The representative work of French thinker Rousseau is Emile. There is a famous saying in the book: "Everything that comes from the creator's hand is good, but it goes bad when it comes to people's hands." Rousseau advocated natural education and children-oriented education view. Rousseau believes that human nature is good, but it has been destroyed by the existing environment and education. If we can create a new society, a new environment and a new education suitable for the healthy development of human nature, human beings can return to nature at a higher stage. Therefore, artificial education imposed on children according to social requirements is not good education, and good education is to let children develop naturally in nature. Even the farther away from social influence, the better education.
