The category of the new education movement
Reddy condemned that education at that time could not meet the needs of modern life, and only made people for the past, not for the modern. The principles of his new school are: to cultivate students into independent people with all-round development of personality, ability, wisdom, physical strength and manual skills; Oppose cramming books, demand that education be linked with life, and combine theory with practice. E de Maureen of France agrees with Reddy's educational thoughts and supports his activities. He founded Roche School in France on 1898, and published the book "New Education". He pointed out that the new school must attach importance to the cultivation of practical knowledge and practical ability, and students should develop in free activities. In the same year, educator H opened a similar school in Germany, named "Rural Boarding School". Since then, Belgium, Italy and the United States have also established various forms of new schools. For example, based on his research on the psychology and education of children with mental retardation, the Italian educator M. Montessori founded the Children's Home for free education of normal children in Rome from 65438 to 0907. The Belgian educator O. Decroo founded the "School of Life" in Brussels on 1907. The practice of these "new schools" quickly received enthusiastic response in European countries and the United States, and thus formed a wide range of new education movements. After the new education was introduced into the United States, it was immediately combined with the American progressive education movement, forming a more powerful modern education movement, and obtained theoretical argumentation from the American pragmatic education theory. Later, Gary School System, Winnetka System, Dalton System, Design Teaching Method and other teaching systems and methods produced successively in the United States basically belong to the category of new education.
