Practical middle school was born in Germany at the beginning of18th century, a century earlier than Britain and France, which gave Germans the rigor and connotation required by natural science! 1708, Himmler, a devout believer, founded the "Middle School of Mathematics, Mechanics and Economics" in Halle, mainly teaching mathematics, physics, mechanics, nature, astronomy, geography and law, supplemented by painting and sketching. Since then, some cities in Germany have established such schools one after another, and some middle schools have added courses such as architecture and commercial manufacturing. A new school with the nature of vocational education. It excludes the tendency of pure classicism in teaching subjects and course content, and adapts to the needs of the gradual development of German capitalist economy. However, because its graduates are not allowed to enter higher education, their status is very low, so there are not many students, and they are quickly surpassed by the United States without family values and lost to the United States in scientific application.
Influenced by the French Revolution in18th century, its outstanding performance in education is pan-patriotism and Humboldt reform. Pan-Aiism was influenced by the French bourgeois enlightenment thought. Especially the profound influence of Rousseau's thought and German new humanism. Pan-love educators such as J. Bassetto, Salzman, Bi Ke, etc. I believe that the highest purpose of education is to cultivate healthy and optimistic people with practical knowledge and universal love. Therefore, we attach importance to moral education, physical education, labor education, modern language and natural science knowledge, adopt the education method of children's free development, and attach importance to physics teaching. They love their children and love them.
1807- 18 15 during the Prussian-Hardenbergh reform, K.W.Humboldt, a historian and political activist, served as Minister of Education. He carried out a series of reforms in school education at all levels according to the spirit of neo-humanism, and actively promoted Pei in primary education and normal education. The teaching content has been expanded, the teaching methods have been improved, and famous educators such as Stilwell have appeared. Dewey's educational model developed in the United States since then has also been developed on this basis. In secondary education, practical middle schools have been further developed, and subjects such as history, geography and natural science have been added. Teachers have been selected through examinations, breaking the situation that only priests are teachers. In terms of higher education, Humboldt clearly stated earlier that the task of a university is to impart knowledge of various disciplines to students and develop science (that is, to become a teaching center and a scientific research center). The University of Berlin, which he founded and led, is a typical example of this.
Because Germany attaches importance to education earlier, the strength of the country also comes from more advanced and reasonable methods. This is another obvious example of quality education, which has nothing to do with genes and chromosomes boasted by some people!
The rise of great powers depends on science and technology, and the contest between countries is, in the final analysis, a contest of national quality and a contest of talents. You are welcome to say that the overall national quality of China is not the same as that of developed countries, because it is difficult to accept other people's educational ideas. British historian Toynbee studied 2 1 civilizations that appeared in history and then died out one after another. The conclusion is that these civilizations have all perished, and they were not killed by others.
1876, when the United States celebrated the anniversary of independence 100, an international exposition was held in Philadelphia, with 37 countries participating. At that time, the Qing government also sent an exhibition group. At this Expo, Britain exhibited the latest steam locomotives, the United States exhibited high-power motors and generators, Germany exhibited precision machine tools for processing guns, and China exhibited 27 sets of ear scoops and embroidered shoes made of pure silver.
I hope I can help you and adopt it.
