Comenius believed education should imitate nature (the world of living things) and derived nine principles of nature to be the subject of imitation for learning:
#Nature obseves a suitable time.
#Nature prepares the material, before she begins to give it form.
#Nature chooses a fit subject to act upon, or first submits one to a suitable treatment in order to make it fit.
#Nature is not confused in its operations, but in its forward progress advances distinctly from one point to another.
#In all the operations of nature development is from within.
#Nature, in its formative processes, begins with the universal and ends with the particular.
#Nature makes no leaps, but proceeds step by step.
#If nature commence anything, it does not leave off until the operation is completed.
#Nature carefully avoids obstacles and things likely to cause hurt.
