The word "truth" cleanses the dirt of the falsity and hypocrisy of feudal education in China in recent years, and points out the most important and essential attribute of modern education.
Teachers, as practitioners of modern progressive education thought, should keep in mind Mr. Tao Xingzhi's words, teach students to seek truth, learn true skills, cultivate true morality, tell the truth, know true talents, do true things, pursue truth and be a real person. Take the word "truth" as the teaching book, teach books well and educate good people. Therefore, to teach people to seek truth and learn to be a man, we must start from seeking truth from teachers.
Mr. Tao Xingzhi devoted his life to education and made a pioneering contribution to the modernization of education in China. He not only established a complete educational theory system, but also carried out a lot of educational practice. Looking at Tao Xingzhi's educational thought, innovation is like a golden thread, which runs through Tao Xingzhi's educational thought from beginning to end.
Innovation here refers to getting rid of the "old" that does not meet the needs of the development of the times and creating the "new" that conforms to the social and historical progress. Innovation also has the significance of breaking idols, superstitions, dogmas and rigid habitual thinking.
The innovation of Tao Xingzhi's educational thought is also manifested in the training goal. He pointed out that the new education should cultivate all-round "talents" in view of the phenomenon that the old education aimed at cultivating "talents".
As early as when he founded Nanjing Anhui University, he put forward three educational goals for this school: learning knowledge and having scientific spirit; To transform the environment, we must have aesthetic artistic conception; When dealing with emergencies, you should have noble moral cultivation.
