Abstract: Traditional pedagogy often sticks to the textbook system in understanding educational theory and practice, and intuitively ponders and understands the relationship between theory and practice. On the one hand, this kind of intuitive thinking regards educational practice as an intuitive representation of the concept of pedagogy, on the other hand, it regards educational theory as an intuitive reflection of educational reality, which leads to the inevitable difficulty in explaining the reality of educational theory. Marx criticized the intuitive thinking of the traditional materialism in his Theses On Feuerbach, and advocated the practical thinking through returning to history. Drawing on this thinking, only by focusing on the legal criticism of educational significance, paying attention to experience of educational practice, and adhering to the unity of history and practice can educational theory sort out the problem consciousness of facing reality and truly realize the mission and value of transforming educational reality.
