Features: Pedagogy can be distinguished into philosophy-oriented pedagogy and psychology-oriented pedagogy. This book is a work on psychology-oriented pedagogy, starting from the idea that "the selection and design of teaching methods should be based on the process and principles of students' learning and effectively promote their learning." It takes the main topics of philosophy-oriented pedagogy, such as teaching objectives, teaching principles, teaching content, teaching process and methods, teaching evaluation, teaching diagnosis and remediation, as the organizational framework, introducing the main views of psychology-oriented pedagogy. Combined with the current curriculum reform in China, it provides psychological analysis and interpretation of practical issues such as curriculum objective frameworks, textbook design, autonomous learning, and academic evaluation. This book can serve as a textbook for pedagogy and teaching psychology courses in teacher training universities, a reference book for educational psychology courses, and is also suitable for reading and reference by educational researchers, primary and secondary school teachers.
