1. Education is life, and the process of education is integrated with the process of life, rather than preparing for a certain life in the future.

2. Education is the continuous growth of students' individual experience, and education should have no other purpose.

3. School is an embryonic society, in which students should learn the basic attitudes, skills and knowledge needed by the real society.

4. Curriculum organization centers on students' experience, not on the subject knowledge system.

The relationship between teachers and students is child-centered, not teacher-centered. In the process of students' growth, teachers are only helpers, not leaders.

6. The teaching process should attach importance to students' own independent discovery, performance and experience, and respect the differences of students' development.
