"Learning by doing" is the basic principle of all Dewey's teaching theories (1859 ─ 1952). Dewey believes that "all learning is a by-product of action, so teachers should" do "to make students think and learn knowledge." Dewey put "learning by doing" into all major aspects of teaching, such as teaching process, curriculum, teaching methods and teaching organization forms, all based on the requirements of "learning by doing". Activity curriculum and activity teaching have been formed, which not only shaped modern American education, but also influenced the whole world.
Therefore, in teaching, teachers should aim at cultivating students with all-round physical and mental development, regard students as concrete and energetic people, and respect their personality and life. In the classroom, teachers should follow the principle of discovery and inquiry, do everything possible to stimulate students' interest in learning knowledge, combine some selective extracurricular activities with creative social practice activities, form an open, multidimensional and orderly extracurricular common activity system, provide students with time and space to discover, try, exercise and express their talents freely, and provide students with rich and varied opportunities to learn and use book knowledge flexibly.
