Johann Heinrich Pesterozzi (1746- 1827) was a famous Swiss democratic educator in the19th century. His love for education and persistent pursuit of educational innovation not only made important contributions to the development of education in the world, but also set a very respectable image for all educators.

The most prominent point in Pestalozzi's educational thought is to emphasize emotional education and love education. He emphasized that educators should first have a loving heart and win the love and trust of students with love. Therefore, teachers should love children, pay attention to their needs, and repay their progress and growth with a loving smile. Teachers should impress children with kind words, emotions, facial expressions and eyes. When love and trust take root in children's hearts, teachers should try their best to inspire, strengthen and sublimate it.

Pestalozzi's famous motto about education;

1. Whether a person's life is happy, safe and auspicious depends on whether his life is morally sound and whether he can set an example for society.

What should be done today will be put off tomorrow.

Practice and action are the basic tasks of life; Learning and knowledge are only means and methods, through which the main work can be done well. Therefore, the knowledge that life must possess should be determined according to the needs of practice and action.

2. The simplest element of moral education is "love", that is, children's love for their mothers and positive love for people. The foundation of this moral education for children should be at home. Children's love for their mothers is based on their love for their babies and the satisfaction of their physical growth needs. To further consolidate and develop this factor, school education is needed. Teachers should also have father-son love for their children and integrate the school into the big family.
