Lu Jun's View on Early Childhood Education
He advocates that the purpose of education is to cultivate natural persons; Oppose feudal education to harm and despise children, and demand to improve children's status in education; Advocating the reform of educational content and methods, conforming to children's nature, and allowing children to develop physically and mentally freely embodies the requirements of the bourgeoisie and the broad masses of working people to be liberated from feudal autocracy.
He thinks that the most important thing in teaching is to inspire the consciousness of children and teenagers, so he pays special attention to the role of motivation, interest and need in learning. Rousseau attached great importance to the intuitive teaching method. He believes that only by directly contacting and observing things can we truly understand the theories and concepts of things. He even thinks that instruments, models and other equipment that interfere with children's learning should be abandoned, and direct observation of actual things is the most effective method. Rousseau also attaches great importance to students' independent thinking and judgment, but hates cramming and imperative teaching methods. In addition, Rousseau also warned teachers to choose learning content according to children's understanding level. "Never tell children what they don't understand." In order to maintain the correctness and solidity of knowledge, he advocates that children's learning speed should be arranged reasonably, and they should not be eager for success, be greedy for quick success and be ambitious. His new ideas on reforming the contents and methods of knowledge teaching also inspire our teaching reform today.
