孔夫子在《学记》中提出了:“道而弗牵,强而弗抑,开而弗达”的教学原则,指出教师的作用在于引导、启发,而不是强迫、代替。这大概是关于启发式教学的最早论述了。毛泽东同志在谈到教学方法时,将启发式列为“十大教授法”的第一条。可见,启发式教学原则是很有生命力的。 Confucius put forward the principle of teaching in “The Book of Records”: “Taoism and Buddhism are strong, restrained, and liberal,” pointing out that the teacher's role is to guide, inspire, rather than coerce, and replace. This is probably the earliest comment on heuristic teaching. When talking about teaching methods, Comrade Mao Tse-tung listed the heuristic as the first of the “Ten Professors of Professor Law.” Visible, heuristic teaching principle is very vitality.
