Abstract
Comenius wrote in “Didactica Magna” that we should construct educational system, method and technique that were based on nature. In this paper I summarize Comenius'view on nature in the following five points. “Nature is the root of all matters.” “Nature is the power to grow up.” “Nature is the order of all matters.” “Nature is the natural object and the knowledge.” “Nature is God.” And, I clarify the relationships between the educational technology and nature.
So, I clarify how to learn from nature on these five views on nature. They are as follows. “How to recognize nature.” “How to induce it from various matters of nature.” “How to analogize the ratio with nature and education.” “How to imitate nature.” “How to make the model of nature.” “How to learn from nature as a teacher.” “How to learn from nature as a guide.” “How to agree with a growth process of nature.” “How to deduce from nature.”
In addition, I take from “Didactica Magna” concrete description examples to study from nature.
