The education philosophy, currently, has shifted from the traditional development concept of "performance orientation" to the modern education concept of "people-oriented, quality‐oriented education and well‐rounded development". However, given the lagging understanding and insufficient practice of modern education philosophy, educational objectives and educational effects are directly affected. By analyzing the theoretical and practical issues such as the theoretical basis, mechanism of action and practical form of modern education philosophy, this paper aims to deepen the understanding of the truthfulness, scientificity and practice of modern education philosophy. In this way, the consciousness, initiative and creativity will be improved when implementing modern education philosophy.
