Abstract:Classroom teaching is the fundamental way for talent development in higher education, and also the top priority for scholars to study. Being the teaching subjects, teachers and students undoubtedly can exchange thoughts and create new ideas through face-to-face communication in intensive learning in classrooms, where lies Tao (道,morality). However, the reality is “Tao” is detached far from humans where it should be. Transmitting wisdom, imparting knowledge, and resolving doubts no longer constitute the main content of classroom teaching in universities. Teachers and students are more like executors for the instrumental concept of classroom management than beneficiaries of knowledge transmission and cultural innovation and sharing. Meanwhile, the innovative and entrepreneurial spirit promoted by society is increasingly inadequate and scarce as Tao is missing in college classes. “Human-oriented Tao” requires classroom teaching in universities to do as follows: to increase the interaction between teachers and students and be concerned about individual learners; to attach importance to students’ demand for ‘Tao” and make up for the inadequacy of classroom teaching; to change the teacher-centered knowledge-imparting ideas, and emphasize the spread of learning styles so as to pursue “the development of humans” .
