Which educator's point of view is to take the natural society as the educational content?

Taking the natural society as the educational content is the viewpoint of educator Chen Heqin.

Chen Heqin believes that the curriculum content of traditional education is fixed, the teaching materials are boring, teachers only teach one lesson at a time, and students only learn one lesson at a time. Such reading can only make a nerd. In view of the serious disadvantages of traditional education, we can only advocate "living education" and look for living teaching materials in nature and society. Chen Heqin's so-called "living teaching materials" refer to books directly taken from nature and society, that is, children can gain experience and knowledge through direct contact with nature and society and personal observation.

The curriculum theory of "life education" does not abandon books, but only emphasizes the nature and society of life that has been neglected by education for many years, and book knowledge should be a portrayal of the real world, which should be confirmed in nature and society and can reflect children's physical and mental characteristics and life characteristics. He concretized the content of life education as "five-finger activity". That is, health activities, social activities, scientific activities, artistic activities and literary activities, with the aim of cultivating children's ideal life.

Attach importance to scientific experiments and advocate that the development of children's education in China should suit the national conditions and conform to the laws of children's physical and mental development; Call for the establishment of a training system for children's education teachers. Write dozens of kindergarten and primary school textbooks and children's extracurricular reading materials, and design and promote toys, teaching AIDS and juvenile group equipment. I have been engaged in a series of pioneering research and practice of early childhood education all my life, including works such as Family Education.
