The so-called educational function refers to the educational and probation function of the activities of the judicial organs regulated and adjusted by the judicial system, which is a remarkable function that cannot be ignored by the judicial system. Paragraph 2 of Article 3 of the Organic Law of People's Courts stipulates: "People's courts use all their activities to educate citizens to be loyal to the socialist motherland and consciously abide by the Constitution and laws."
"Function" is often synonymous with "function" in daily language, but "function" has positive and negative points, which are judged according to the results produced by the function. "Function" refers to the possible effective functions contained in a thing or method. Function refers to the effect of one thing or method on other things.
The function of a thing or method is inherent in itself. When something or method with function is not related to its object, the function is in a potential state. Whether the function of the potential state can become a reality is also influenced by the object state and environmental conditions.
Education is regarded as a man-made thing, and its function is carried out in three different forms of functional existence: expectation, potential and reality. The function of "expectation" exists in people's consciousness and desire; "Potential" function exists in the actual structure of education; The function of "reality" exists in local educational practice.
The function of intellectual education has inevitability and unity of knowing and doing. Moral education has no unity of knowing and doing. Because of the interests, educators and educatees may know and do differently, knowing what is wrong and what is right.
