The three development stages of cognitive science in China are scientific research,discipline construction and personnel training,and personnel training in the era of cognitive science should be realized through educational reform,so education should be re-recognized and defined.Future education should attach equal importance to knowledge and ability,and pay more attention to the cultivation of mental and cognitive ability.By establishing the corresponding relationship between the five levels of human cognition and the stages of education development,teaching plans and personnel training programs can be re-formulated at each stage of education development,and the mental and cognitive abilities of students and educatees at each level can be improved,which is the fundamental task of education and the development direction of education in the future.From the perspective of cognitive-education,we should focus on the"6+1"discipline framework,focus on the improvement of comprehensive cognitive ability,deepen the reform of college education mode,and cultivate"masters"and"outstanding talents"in the 21st century.This is the answer to"Qian Xuesen's question"in the era of cognitive science.
