On Great Teaching is one of Comenius' most outstanding masterpieces. Its appearance shows that17th century, with the progress of production technology, the rise of natural science and the improvement of social demand for knowledge and education. It lays the basic framework of modern pedagogy, is the starting point for pedagogy to separate from the comprehensive knowledge field and become an independent discipline, and marks the beginning of a brand-new stage in the history of educational theory development.
The big teaching theory is called teaching theory, which actually covers a wide range and is very accurate, including physical education, moral education, teaching theory, education system, curriculum arrangement and so on.
The theory of grand teaching establishes a teaching system by stages according to age, and puts forward four teaching stages: preschool, primary school, middle school and university.
The great teaching theory was introduced to China very late. At the beginning of the 20th century, China scholar Wang Guowei gave a brief introduction to its contents. 1939 The Commercial Press published the Chinese version of Fu Rengan's Great Career, which was later translated into Great Teaching Theory, which was published twice by People's Education Publishing House in 1957 and 1979.
