牛树梅教育思想述评

Comments on Niu Shumei's Educational Thoughts

清朝陇中地区儒学家牛树梅重视教育的社会功能,主张"善政"不如"善教",继承传统"性善论",倡导蒙学与专馆有别的教育,强调"士行"道德的培养及量才施教,积极推动办学主体的多样化,对基础教育改革具有重要借鉴价值。

As a prominent Confucian scholar of Qing Dynasty in Central Gansu,Niu Shumei attaches importance to social function of education and advocates good governance rather than skillful teaching. By inheriting theory of original goodness of human nature,emphasizing enlightening education,promoting the cultivation of scholarly morality and teaching students in accordance with their aptitude,he pushes forward the diversification of governance subjects and offers valuable reference to the construction of basic education reform in China.
