Publish Date: 2006-09-01
Features: Guided by the concept of "modernity," the author's established educational theory system primarily consists of four parts: Part 1, The Nature and Purpose of Education; Part 2, Three Theoretical Foundations of Educational Principles—Biological Foundation, Sociological Foundation, and Philosophical Foundation; Part 3, Three Forms of Education—Political Education, Production Education, and Cultural Education; Part 4, The Role of Education in the Future of Human Development. The outline of this book was drawn by the author when teaching educational principles at National Jinan University. The system is a personal innovation, with most of the ideas derived from "exploration in the dark." It can only be described as an "attempt." Although the book was written in haste, the author often paid attention to two things while writing: one was the turbulent era at the time, and the other was the unique environment of our country. Therefore, when explaining various issues, the author always tried to grasp their "transience" and "concreteness" as much as possible. Education is not an isolated category but a part of human activity, which cannot be separated from other parts; paying attention to this "connection" is also one of the features of this book. However, some issues, due to the relationship between length and reality, only provide a "hint" and have not been thoroughly elaborated. Readers can conduct detailed research based on the reference materials listed at the end of each chapter.
