According to the purpose of education and the practical experience of basic education, the general principles of education are:

1, the principle of step by step

The principle of gradual progress requires education according to the logical system of subject knowledge and the order of students' physical and mental development, so that students can master knowledge and skills systematically and step by step, cultivate moral character and develop intelligence, and form good study habits.

2, the principle of merger

This principle requires teachers to adopt various effective methods in the process of guiding students to learn knowledge and skills, so that students can store the knowledge and skills they have learned in memory for a long time and reproduce them in time and accurately when they need to use them. At the same time, teachers are required to repeatedly pay attention to students' ideological and moral education, and students are required to constantly carry out moral practice and develop good moral behavior habits.

3. The principle of integrating theory with practice

This principle requires teachers to attach importance to the teaching of knowledge and concepts, understand and master knowledge and concepts in the process of integrating theory with practice, and apply the knowledge and concepts they have mastered to practice, so as to gradually develop their ability to analyze and solve practical problems and form correct moral beliefs and good behavior habits.

4. Enlightening teaching principles

It means that teachers use various teaching methods to fully mobilize students' initiative and enthusiasm in learning, guide students to think independently, explore actively, study lively, consciously master scientific knowledge, and improve their ability to analyze and solve problems. In the actual teaching process, the implementation of this requirement requires teachers to have a profound theoretical foundation of education and teaching.

5. The principle of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude

This principle is put forward to deal with the problems of collective teaching and individual teaching, unified requirements and respect for individual differences of students. To implement this principle, we must fully understand students, including their age characteristics, academic performance, personality characteristics, family background, life experience and so on. Secondly, we should respect students' differences and face every student. Every student has the right to receive an education that suits him.
