What are Herbart's educational psychology thoughts?
Herbart believes that education, as a science, must be based on psychology, and the defects of pedagogy mostly lie in the lack of psychology.

Herbart believes that the teaching process should be based on the principle of "apperception" in psychology ("apperception" is the psychological process of cognitive activities in education).

3. Herbart believes that interest is the condition for the formation of apperception, and the curriculum should be selected on the basis of children's existing experience and interest.

Extended data:

Herbart attaches importance to the important role of psychology in science, especially in education. In the preface of his psychological works, he proposed that he hoped to correct the misunderstanding of philosophy and even the whole scientific field by perfecting psychology.

It is believed that psychology is not only to collect materials, but also to understand the integrity of internal experience, which is closely related to natural philosophy and needs the support of metaphysics.

Herbart first proposed that psychology is an independent science and a primary science that educators should master, and suggested that everyone should understand the basis of psychology.

Although Herbart disapproved of Kant's transcendental idealism theory and functionalism, he inherited his thought that experience feeling is the only source of knowledge and recognized the reality of matter.
