Since ancient times, the topic of education has attracted much attention. However, many people have a great misunderstanding about education, thinking that education is to let children learn a lot of knowledge and ignore the essence of education. Why do you want to get an education? What is the purpose of education? What is the essence of education? Wait, have you seriously thought about these questions? Can education only learn all the knowledge in textbooks? Richard levin, the president of Yale University for 20 years, once said: "Real education is not to impart any knowledge and skills, but to enable people to be competent in any subject and occupation. This is the real education. " Therefore, the essence of education is not to learn much knowledge, but to learn logical thinking.

Real education is the foundation of critical independent thinking, constant self-awareness and lifelong learning. When is the best time to cultivate children's logical thinking? First of all, let's look at the data: one is the "human brain development" map published by the Children's Development Center of Harvard University, in which the development peak of advanced cognitive functions (including concept formation, problem solving, abstract thinking, impulse control, logical thinking, creativity, etc.). ).) As early as 10 months to 4-5 years old, it is outrageous. The other is Montessori's report on the "window of opportunity" for children's ability training, pointing out that children will have a sensitive period of logical thinking when they are 3-4 years old. At this time, the characteristics of children are constantly asking "why" and eager to understand the logical laws of the world and the causal relationship between things. Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate children's logical thinking as soon as possible.

As for logical thinking, many parents find it difficult to learn. In fact, everyone is very smart, but many parents ignore their children's logical thinking ability in pursuit of scores, thus slowly degenerating their children's thinking. The most reliable way to cultivate children is to let them play. At this time, some parents will inevitably say: How do children play? This will affect children's study. In fact, if children learn logical thinking ability, they will not fall behind in their studies and even promote their studies. Furthermore, when we say "play", we mean "learn from robots and learn from programming".

Parents who care about foreign education may know that foreign parents expose their children to innovative science and technology education when they are very young. Many foreign schools regard maker education and programming as compulsory courses in primary and secondary schools. There is only one reason why innovative science and technology education is so valued: innovative science and technology education can cultivate children's logical thinking ability. And this ability will have a far-reaching impact on a child's life. In China, robot education, as an important way to realize innovative science and technology education, has attracted the attention of parents and society because of its outstanding performance in cultivating children's logical thinking ability and practical ability, and has become an important "booster" for the development of modern children's science and technology.
