On How to "Weave" a Network for the Application of Fundamental Educational Theory and Social Development Science Theory

Fundamental educational theory and social development science theory are two major theoretical systems closely related to education and social development. Starting from the concepts and connotations of these two theories, this paper analyzes the main content, implementation means, essence, and goals of fundamental educational theory; it then reviews and summarizes the major theoretical viewpoints of social development theory from both historical and contemporary perspectives. This leads to the conclusion regarding the interrelationship — the "upper" and "lower" linkages — between social development science theory and fundamental educational theory. Finally, from the perspective of educational work, and in combination with the relationship between the two, three suggestions are put forward. It is advocated that educational practitioners should actively construct paths for educational development and properly "weave" the application network of fundamental educational theory and social development science theory.
