To the recognition of aim, it focuses attention on the "Development Goodness" and "compensating shortcoming" at the same time. For this, during the practice of teaching in difference levels we need to make the teaching aim variable, we should be against that kind of teaching which only encourages "Future Goodness". To the criterion of it, we need consider the standards suited to the time and zone because of the complexity of measurement and evaluation on personality. To the contents of it, we need put that kind of approach into practice, which can show variability and difference. We should be against the teaching form that takes the students in one way and focus attention only on the development of intelligence.There still have many problems which need to be solved in the theory and practice of teaching in difference levels. We need to have future study on them.
