Education came into being with the appearance of human beings. All these situations have aroused the attention of the ruling class to primary education, and made universal compulsory education a major concern of society. The promulgation of the Primary Education Act marks the formal formation of the British national education system.
Primary education in Britain is dominated by charity schools and Sunday schools. Among many principalities that have enacted compulsory education laws, Prussia's education law is the most prominent. 1808, the Royal Lancaster Association was established. 18 1 1 established the national association for promoting education for the poor, and promoted Bell's teaching method. From 18 10 to 1830, the tutorial system was very popular in Britain and spread to European and American countries. France has established about 600 tutorial schools in 1828. This teaching method was introduced into America around 1809.
Introduction to Persatello:
The Night Time of a Hermit published by 1780 summarizes his theory that education must conform to nature. He firmly believes that human nature has infinite resilience; Man's moral cultivation and knowledge accomplishment are his own responsibilities, and education should develop man's genius so that he can think independently. In the book How Gertrude Educates Her Students, although the main principles of intellectual education are discussed in detail, he thinks that moral education is the most important.
After the French Revolution, Pestalozzi, who was over half a century old, had the opportunity to practice his educational ideal and began to devote himself to children's education. He adopted many orphans after the war; In order to improve students' moral quality, he tried his best to create an environment full of family atmosphere for them. He thinks this is the happiest period of his life. He also presided over two schools as teaching experimental bases to prove his teaching methods in moral, intellectual and physical education.
One of the schools is world-famous and attracts many foreigners to visit. Its teaching method aims at cultivating students' abilities of self-reliance, self-improvement, self-help and helping others. At that time, this teaching method was widely accepted by the education sector and promoted teacher training. Many of his teaching principles have been absorbed by modern primary education.
