Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, as the name implies, is to adopt different educational methods and means according to students' different characteristics and abilities. Confucius believes that everyone has his own strengths and weaknesses, and the purpose of education is to explore and cultivate everyone's potential and make them useful talents. Therefore, teachers in the teaching process, not across the board, but should vary from person to person, teaching students in accordance with their aptitude.
Confucius' concept of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
First of all, Confucius emphasized understanding students. He believes that teachers should first understand the characteristics of each student's personality, interests and talents, and then carry out targeted education.
Secondly, Confucius advocated individualized teaching. He believes that everyone is unique, so the teaching methods should also vary from person to person. For smart students, teachers can give more challenges and guidance; For slow students, teachers need to teach patiently and gradually improve their abilities.
Third, Confucius emphasized practical teaching. He believes that knowledge is acquired through practice, so teachers should let students learn through practice and testing, and improve their knowledge and skills through practice.
Finally, Confucius advocated moral education first. He believes that imparting knowledge is only a part of education, and it is more important to cultivate students' moral quality. Therefore, teachers should not only impart knowledge, but also pay attention to moral education for students in the teaching process.
