Abstract: Modem times is a period with great changes and reform in China's education. The traditional educational theories based on motal and political philosophy was no longer practical. And various trends of thought in education swarmed into China, attracting people's attention. Many new western teaching methods and teaching organizing forms which were characterized with positivism and experimental science were introduced to China and put into practice. Especially the Dan-ji-Teaching Method borrowed fromJapan was widely put into practice and spread in the upsurge of setting up schools in late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, not only meeting the need to popularized education, but also pushing forward the practising and spreading of spontaneous Five Steps Method. All these make the first upsurge of the reform of China's education in modem times.
