Aristotle believes that education should follow the law of children's natural development, rather than forcing or prematurely promoting their growth. He advocated that education should have an appropriate order, from simple to complex, from easy to difficult, from general to special. This educational concept emphasizes children's personality and interests, and holds that everyone has unique talents and abilities, and education should be carried out according to these characteristics.
Aristotle also believes that education should aim at the all-round development of human beings, not only the imparting of knowledge, but also the cultivation of morality, physique and beauty. He advocates promoting children's all-round development through music, sports, art and other forms of education.
This educational thought had a far-reaching impact on later education and became one of the important cornerstones of western educational thought. It emphasizes the dominant position of children and the guiding role of educators, as well as the comprehensiveness and adaptability of education.
Education follows the application of nature;
Education follows nature and is widely used in classroom teaching. In modern education, students are no longer passive recipients of knowledge, but become the main body of classroom learning. By observing students' characteristics and interests, educators adopt various teaching methods and means to guide students to actively participate in learning and stimulate students' interest and potential in learning.
For example, in Chinese teaching, educators can guide students to express their thoughts and feelings through reading and writing, and cultivate students' language ability and thinking ability. In mathematics teaching, educators can guide students to master mathematics knowledge through practice, exploration and discovery and cultivate students' ability to explore and solve problems.
For education, it is also very important to follow the application of nature in extracurricular activities. Extracurricular activities are one of the important ways to promote students' all-round development, and also an important platform for students to show their specialties and interests. Educators can organize various forms of extracurricular activities, such as literature competitions, science and technology competitions and sports competitions. Guide students to discover their own potential and expertise, and cultivate students' hobbies and self-confidence. At the same time, educators can also cultivate students' teamwork ability and social responsibility through extracurricular activities.
