Hermeneutics has a very long history, it starts with the story of the awing Hemes in Greece's fable, then Gadamer and Heidegger finish the systematism of it, then it turns to practical philosophy focuses on community and life, at last, hermeneutics gets the comprehension of "hermeneutic is philosophy, furthermore, hermeneutics is practical philosophy "with great pride. Hermeneutics reveals the question of "understanding" in human's mental activities. In the process of development and rebuilding of hermeneutics, there are two important turnings -the turning of ontology and the turning of practical philosophy, which have the significance of revolution and creation. Heidegger reveals the meaning of understanding on ontology dimension, and realizes the turning of ontology. Gadamer goes forward on the way of Heidegger and establishes the unique position of philosophical hermeneutics focus on understanding. Gadamer considers that hermeneutics focus on human's experience and practice, so he realizes the second important turning. For the strong power of explanation and persuasion, hermeneutics becomes to be a very popular learning and influences every field of literae humaniores, including life, world ,history, tradition .language ,art even education and so on.On the base of phenomenology, hermeneutics also has the strict and scientific attitudes towards philosophy. Hermeneutics delicates great apocalypse and offers important theory support to better understanding of education. Education is occurent and lively, and it belongs to complicated humanities .When we come back to education itself to understand it, we can see that education is practical in essence. Education should focus on the life world and emphasize phronesis, so we should use the method of understanding to understand education.School-based in-service training of teaches is the new idea and mode of teacher's training. It takes more advantage of the public school teachers' professional training, it focuses on the life world of education, focus on teachers' phronesis, incarnate the essence of education. The opinion of school-based training of teaches accords with the opinions of hermeneutics greatly.
