ABSTRACT

Under the background of vigorously advocating labor education, the importance of labor education is self-evident. At present, due to various reasons, there are still some problems in labor education in primary and secondary schools in China, which need to be further strengthened. As a great people's educator, Tao Xingzhi's labor education thought formed in his educational practice is very rich: the purpose of labor education is to "seek mutual benefit between hands and brain", the content is "life is education", and the method is "the integration of teaching and doing". His labor education thought shows three characteristics: educating human nature, living and practicality. Although Tao Xingzhi's labor education thought is far away, it is still old and fresh, which still has important reference and enlightenment significance for the development of labor education in contemporary primary and secondary schools: first, we should adhere to the "promoting the whole through labor" and pay attention to the value of labor education; Second, we should "work hard on labor" to enrich the carrier of labor education; Third, we should adhere to the "unity of teaching and doing" and improve the methods of labor education.
