The construction of Chinese pedagogy is a theoretical need for the building of a powerful country in education in the process of Chinese modernization. The major pillars of Chinese pedagogy include the excellent traditional Chinese culture, the PRC educational practice, and the development of digital technology. The excellent traditional Chinese culture endows the cultural character of Chinese pedagogy with Chinese soul, the PRC educational practice (especially the educational practice in the new era) provides the pulse of practice for the knowledge production in Chinese pedagogy, and the development of digital technology offers the power source to the synchronous development of Chinese pedagogy. To construct Chinese pedagogy, we must clarify its overall orientation, core concepts, major propositions, and basic categories, and focus on the following: Taking human development as the micro logical thread, and the performance of social functions of education as the macro logical thread, thus constructing the basic prototype of micro and macro pedagogy; methodologically, we need to deal with the relationships between theory and practice, inheritance and innovation, Chinese pedagogy and international pedagogy, and disciplinary standpoints and interdisciplinary reference.
