From the perspective of Marxist anthropological theory, the educational philosophy of holistic development constitutes the theoretical cornerstone of socialist educational philosophy, with its essential connotation directed toward the complete realization of humanity’s essential capacities. This theoretical paradigm transcends the unidimensional orientation of traditional educational objectives, establishing within the framework of historical materialism the practical logic for “integrated development of fivefold educational dimensions”: moral education forges value foundations, intellectual education cultivates rational thinking, physical education strengthens vital organisms, aesthetic education nurtures perceptual personalities, and labor education refines practical wisdom. This study focuses on the implementation pathways of “whole-person education” in the modernization process of education during the new era, employing system theory to analyze the dialectical unity among the five educational elements within contemporary educational ecosystems. It aims to deconstruct educational alienation under exam-oriented paradigms and construct a multidimensional collaborative educational mechanism grounded in core competencies. Addressing challenges including disparities in teacher qualifications and inequitable distribution of educational resources, this research proposes corresponding countermeasures and recommendations to enhance the efficacy of holistic development education, thereby advancing educational equity, improving educational quality, and contributing to the cultivation of comprehensively developed talents equipped with innovative spirit and practical capabilities.
