What is traditional education?

1, "the father of scientific pedagogy" of the 19th century German Herbart. He is a representative of the traditional school of education, put forward the "classroom center", "teacher center", "textbook center", which is what we call "old". This is what we call the "old three centers". The old three centers put the teacher in the main position, emphasizing the one-way transmission of knowledge in the classroom, the way of indoctrination, students are passive learning.

2. In the 20th century, the United States emerged as a master of teaching - Dewey. Distinguish the traditional "three centers", he put forward the "child (student) center", "activity center" and "experience center "This is known as the "new three-center theory" in pedagogy.

Traditional education, as opposed to "modern education". It refers exclusively to the educational theories and pedagogical models of Herbart and his school. Its greatest influence on later generations was the division of the teaching process into four successive stages: clarity, association, system, and method. Ryan, the heir to the school, further divided the original first stage into two stages, and adapted and developed it into five stages: preparation, prompting, association, generalization, and application. This teaching model helps teachers to impart systematic knowledge and improves the effectiveness of classroom teaching. In the second half of the 19th century, it was widely circulated and had a great influence on Europe and the United States.

Modern education is accompanied by the formation of modern society and the emergence of a new form of education in human history, but also the development of human society and education to a certain historical stage of the product. It is by far the highest stage of the development of education, but also a very important stage in the development of human education. Modern education in China began in the second half of the nineteenth century. From the 1860s, a group of intellectuals with early reformist ideas wrote books in Guangdong, advocating the emulation of advanced Western technologies and systems, advocating the realization of national wealth and strength through improvement and change of laws, and contributing to the trend of learning Western knowledge.

On the concept of modern education, different people have different definitions. Some start from the external conditions and define modern education as "the concept, form and features of education that are suitable for the modern production system, modern economic system, modern cultural system, modern science and technology, and modern social life style". Some people look at the problem from the internal factors and define it as "the educator's activity of socializing the educated into a human being capable of adapting to the modern society in which modern productive forces and relations of production are united, with the content of unity of mass production and sociality."

Taken together, modern education can be expressed as "education dedicated to the integration with productive labor and the cultivation of a well-rounded human being during the historical period from the development of capitalist large-scale industry and the commodity economy to the full realization of ****productivism." The definition seeks to reveal the ****ness of modern education.

In fact, modern societies with different cultural traditions, social systems and different stages of development express and realize this ****ness with their own unique personalities. In this sense, modern education of capitalism and modern education of socialism, modern education of Britain and modern education of the United States have both *** same trend and different characteristics. Modern education is a complex, diverse and dynamic concept of synthesis and unity.
