“因材施教”是孔子在长期的教育实践中首创的一个教育原则,即教师要从学生的实际情况、个别差异出发,运用启发诱导的方法,有的放矢地进行有差别的教学,充分发挥学生学习的主动性、积极性,使每个学生都能扬长避短,获得最佳的发展。孔子因材施教的思想,不仅对我国古代教育的发展产生了深远的影响,而且对今天中学语文教育具有十分重要的启示意义。 “Teach students according to their aptitude ” is an educational principle that Confucius pioneered in long-term educational practice. That is, teachers should start from the students ’actual conditions and individual differences, and use the method of inspiration-induced teaching to carry out differentiated teaching and give full play to students’ learning The initiative, enthusiasm, so that each student can avoid weaknesses, get the best development. Confucius’ thought of teaching students according to their aptitudes not only has a far-reaching impact on the development of ancient Chinese education, but also has very important implications for the Chinese education in middle schools today.
