China's ancient thinkers' educational thoughts and methods
Educational purpose
In ancient China, the purpose of education was to cultivate people's moral cultivation and make them useful talents. This is different from the purpose of modern education, which pays more attention to imparting knowledge and cultivating skills.
The content of education
The contents of education in ancient China mainly included knowledge and skills in etiquette, music, shooting, defense, calligraphy, mathematics, poetry and history. Among them, ceremony is the most important content, because ceremony can cultivate people's moral character and accomplishment, and make people become virtuous people.
Educational method
In ancient China, there were mainly mentoring, family education and academy education. Tutorial system is the most common way of education. Students learn knowledge and skills with teachers, and are also influenced by teachers' morality and cultivation. Family education is the education of parents to their children, mainly through the way of example to cultivate children's morality and self-cultivation. College education is conducted in some private or public schools, where students can receive a more systematic and comprehensive education.
The process of education
The educational process in ancient China mainly includes three stages: childhood, adolescence and prime of life. Childhood is from birth to about seven years old, and education at this stage is mainly carried out by parents and family members. Teenagers range from seven to fourteen. This stage of education is mainly carried out by teachers. Students learn knowledge and skills in etiquette, music, archery, calligraphy, mathematics, poetry and history. The golden age of life is from fourteen to twenty years old, and the education at this stage is mainly carried out by academies or official schools, so students can receive a more systematic and comprehensive education.
Educational evaluation
In ancient China, the evaluation of education was mainly based on students' moral character and accomplishment, not students' achievements and abilities. Therefore, the education in ancient China paid more attention to the cultivation of people's moral character and self-cultivation, rather than students' achievements and abilities.
final result
In ancient China, education was a very important cause. It is not only to impart knowledge and skills, but also to cultivate people's morality and self-cultivation and make them become useful talents. As a thinker and educator, Shi Kuang has a profound understanding of the importance and purpose of education. We should learn from the educational thoughts and methods of ancient thinkers in China, constantly improve and develop modern education, and make our own contribution to cultivating more people with good ideas.
