1. The old three centers are teacher-centered, textbook-centered and classroom-centered, while the new three centers are student-centered, experience-centered and activity-centered.

2. In the third middle school, teachers are placed in the dominant position, and the one-way teaching of knowledge in the classroom is indoctrination and students learn passively. The new "three centers" correct the relationship between teachers and students, emphasizing that knowledge is actively constructed based on students' own experience, and the teaching method is independent, cooperative and inquiry teaching.

Extended data:

John dewey put forward the "new three-centered theory" of "children center (student center)", "activity center" and "experience center".

(A) Education is "life", "growth" and "experience transformation"

Education can transmit the accumulated experience of human beings, enrich the content of human experience, and enhance the ability of experience to guide life and adapt to society, thus maintaining and developing social life. Broadly speaking, it is the education that individuals contact and interact with others in social life, gradually expand and improve their own experience, develop moral quality and acquire knowledge and skills.

(B) Aimless education theory

In Dewey's mind, in an undemocratic and unequal society, education is only the purpose imposed on the educated by external forces. A democratic society is different. We should pursue the theory of aimlessness. In fact, in the era of class struggle and proletarian revolution, Dewey emphasized the effectiveness of education in improving society, and the class nature of Dewey's teleology of education was obvious.

"School is society"

Dewey believes that people's participation in the real life of society is a proper way to grow physically and mentally and transform their experience. Therefore, teachers should turn the classroom of imparting knowledge into a paradise for children's activities, guide children to actively participate in activities, unconsciously develop moral character and acquire knowledge in activities, and realize the transformation of life, growth and experience.

(D) Teaching theory

Based on the theory that education is the transformation of life, growth and experience, Dewey discussed teaching materials and teaching methods different from traditional concepts.

(E) the theory of moral education

Dewey said: "Morality is the highest and ultimate goal of education." "Moral process and educational process are unified." Dewey believes that moral education plays an important role in education. Dewey strongly emphasized that morality is the force to promote social progress. In practice, Dewey first advocates "cultivating children's moral quality through activities", and then requires combining intellectual education to achieve the purpose of moral education. Moreover, he attaches great importance to the moral education function of educational methods.

(6) Child-centered theory

Dewey put forward the idea of "children-centered" in the process of criticizing the old education, that is, "innovation" in the process of "dilapidated".
