What is the relationship between traditional education and progressive education?

You have me and I have your relationship. The two are interrelated and promote each other.

The content view of traditional education

One,

Herbart is a representative of traditional education and is known as the "father of science pedagogy". Under the influence of Pestalozzi's educational thought, Herbart explored the issue of "educational psychology" from theory and practice, and systematically expounded the educational purpose, management, teaching and moral education. In the history of western educational thought, it is called "subjectivist educational thought" and has become the main symbol of "traditional educational theory". He believes that ideas are the simplest and most basic elements in people's psychological activities, and psychological activities are the aggregation and dispersion of ideas. The purpose of education is divided into two parts. The first is the possible purpose, which refers to what kind of occupation a person may engage in in in the future. Education should cultivate students' various interests, and then master various knowledge and one of them to prepare for their future career; Second, the necessary purpose refers to the purpose that a person needs to achieve in any of his activities. No matter what kind of work or occupation you are engaged in in in the future, you must have a certain perfect moral quality.

Education can really play its practical role through teaching, which is the basic way of moral education. Traditional education thinks that the curriculum is consistent with children's interests, and apperception will only occur under the condition of interest. The management of children is the primary and indispensable part of teaching and moral education. Therefore, in general, traditional education is teacher-centered, classroom-centered, and textbook-centered.

Second, the content of progressive education.

Du Qi is a representative of progressive education. He believes that traditional education ignores children's nature, does not consider children's needs and interests, and external motives force children to remember characters and symbols, requiring children to prepare for the unpredictable future with recognized standards, regardless of their own feelings and expectations. Therefore, progressive education is child-centered, activity-centered, and experience-centered. It opposes the way of imparting knowledge in traditional education and advocates cultivating people's thinking ability. Teaching method is a method of "learning by doing" and a method of thinking under the background of experience.

Du Qi believes that education is a life process, which keeps the life of studying nuclear science in line with the whole macro-social life, and can better meet the needs and interests of children and become their life. It is also believed that education is not to prepare for future life, but to meet the needs of present life, so as to make the core life a selective, purified and balanced social life, a society that conforms to the embryonic form of development. We should abandon things that suppress and hinder children's free development, and make all education and teaching meet the requirements of children's psychological development level, interests and needs.

Progressive education aims at growth, overcomes the disadvantages of the old curriculum, and replaces traditional textbooks with positive and experiential active homework from "learning by doing" and "learning from experience".
