Pedagogy and its emergence and development*

1. The research objects and fundamental tasks of education

The fundamental task of pedagogy is to reveal the laws of education to serve educational practice.

Second, Confucius was the first person in the world to propose heuristic teaching (don’t be angry, don’t be enlightened, don’t be angry, don’t be angry)

There is no distinction between education and distinction; it advocates cultivating gentlemen with both ability and political integrity and cultivating politicians for social development; it advocates taking benevolence as the core and revealing the process of forming a gentleman's character; it advocates paying equal attention to learning, thinking and doing; it advocates inspiration and induction; it advocates teaching students in accordance with their aptitude; it advocates seeking truth from facts; it advocates reviewing the past to learn the new , advocating the inheritance of the six arts since the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Fourth, "Xue Ji" is the earliest work in human history that specifically discusses educational issues.

Among them, the main educational ideas are: the function of education, the knowledge and knowledge complement each other, Sun Mo from the Yu Dynasty, inspiration and induction, good practice to save the lost, learning without hesitation, etc., respecting teachers and teaching, teaching and learning.
