Modern Education: Great Changes of Ancient Education
Compared with ancient education, modern education has more distinctive characteristics. This paper will discuss the great changes of modern education and ancient education from three aspects: educational objects, educational contents and teaching methods.

The target of education is constantly expanding.

Modern education is gradually popularized, and the educational objects are constantly expanding. Nowadays, science and technology have been widely used in the production of large machines, which requires that education must keep pace with the times and provide the necessary knowledge and skills for the broad masses of workers.

Combine with productive labor

Modern education pays attention to the combination with productive labor. Modern large-scale machine production requires workers to have scientific and technological knowledge and production skills, and the cultivation of these knowledge and skills can not be separated from school education closely combined with productive labor.

Rich and scientific educational content

With the progress of modern production and science and technology, the content of modern education is becoming richer and more scientific. School education should not only impart knowledge, but also pay attention to cultivating students' innovative ability and practical ability to adapt to the changing social needs.

Ancient Education Based on Etiquette

In contrast, the characteristics of ancient education are completely different. Judging from the number of people, education could not be popularized due to the limitation of productivity and social development level at that time, mainly concentrated among a few nobles and rich people. In terms of learning content, ancient education focused on etiquette and Confucianism, focusing on cultivating people's moral quality and social responsibility.

Mentoring teaching methods.

In ancient education, the teaching methods were mainly based on mentoring or small class teaching, emphasizing practice and application. Nowadays, with the progress of society and the development of science and technology, modern education is constantly changing and improving, aiming to better meet the needs of the times and meet the educational needs of the broad masses of the people.
