Abstract

Chu Hsi was one of the representative scholars and educators in ancient China. Based on his own learning experience and teaching practice, he proposed a series of profound and influential educational theories and pedagogical concepts, which until now have been sparkling with ideas about autonomous learning. His in-depth thought of autonomous learning is specifically embodied in the educational principles that Chu Hsi put forward in his works, which include setting learning goals, thinking critically, conducting self-reflection, teacher-oriented and student-centered teaching, and teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. It can be safely concluded that though Chu Hsi did not explicitly put forward the concept of autonomous learning, his thought is obviously consistent with contemporary autonomous learning theory, and therefore, this academic thought still has great enlightening value to our educational practice.
