Confucianism, students' aptitude, teacher's morality and competenceAbstract
Confucius is one of the greatest thinkers and educators in ancient China. He was engaged in various educational activities throughout his life. Confucianism, which he founded, is one of the most important philosophical traditions in Chinese history, containing abundant guidance on teaching. Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is one of these principles. Confucius's principle of teaching students based on their individual abilities remains highly valuable and relevant in modern education. It also has many innovations that are relevant to modern education. In this article, we will analyze how the principle of teaching students according to their aptitude has developed and is shaping current educators, as well as how we should cultivate our morality and competence.
