Abstract

The positive education oriented by positive psychology emphasizes starting from the individual's strengths, guiding participants' positive experiences, and ultimately increasing the teachers and students’ sense of gain. That is to say, on the one hand, positive education should improve the subjective experience of teachers and students, make them feel good; on the other hand, make the teachers and students have meaningful value, and feel their positive qualities or advantages have been enhanced. Positive education breaks through the traditional education’s parochialism on having a bias toward trouble-solving. It not only is a supplement to traditional education under the new social background, but also the repositioning of education after deeply understanding the value of education, which provide a new idea for the contemporary education reform and innovation.
