The difference between traditional education and modern education

The differences between traditional education and modern education are as follows:

1, different concepts.

Dewey, an American educator, called the educational theory represented by German educator Herbart "traditional education" and his pragmatic educational theory "modern education" or "progressive education" at the end of/kloc-0 and the beginning of the 20th century.

From 65438 to 0899, Dewey used the traditional concept of education for the first time in the book School and Society. He revealed that traditional education is only imparting knowledge, and there are few or no children's activities in the classroom.

We can't think that past education, past education and even yesterday's education are all traditional education. If this is the understanding, traditional education has become a concept that changes every day, every hour and every moment, and it can never be relatively certain.

Modern education is a specific concept, especially Dewey's educational theory. Modern education advocates paying attention to children's interests, experiences and social life.

2. It is determined by different production relations.

The concept of traditional education is inseparable from the division of social and historical stages.

There are ancient education and modern education corresponding to ancient society (slave society, feudal society) and modern society (society based on machine production, starting from capitalist society).

Education before modern education is traditional education. The concept of modern education is consistent with the division of social and historical stages, and the basic characteristics of modern education are determined by modern production.

3, can keep pace with the times

All educational ideas, methods, systems and systems that are compatible with the past economic and political systems, modes of production and cultural systems can be called traditional education. Generally speaking, traditional education should not be defined at a fixed time.

It is said that modern education is mainly applicable to modern society, modern production system, modern economic system, modern cultural system, modern science and technology, modern educational ideas and forms and characteristics of social life, and that modern needs to advocate the application of educational ideas, systems, management systems, contents, ways and methods. The content of modern education keeps pace with the times.
