There are great differences in cultural customs and educational systems between Britain and the United States. In terms of teaching methods, just like the British and American personalities, American education is more relaxed. On the premise of providing students with greater freedom, American teachers prefer to let students learn subjects of interest in their own way. In contrast, Britain is a bit strict and conservative. Teachers will do more work to supervise students' academic performance.

education

"Education" is a process of teaching others to think with knowledge as a tool, and to think about how to use what they have to create higher social wealth and realize their self-worth. In the field of education, there are various definitions of "education", which can be said that different people have different opinions. Generally speaking, people define "education" from two different angles, one is the social angle and the other is the individual angle. The former Soviet Union and China generally define "education" from a social perspective, while educators in Britain and the United States generally define "education" from an individual perspective. Teaching: what is painted on it is also effective. Education: adopting a son makes it better.

Education can be divided into broad sense and narrow sense. Education in a broad sense refers to all social practice activities that purposefully affect people's physical and mental development. Education in a narrow sense mainly refers to school education, that is, educators exert influence on the body and mind of the educated in a purposeful, planned and organized way according to certain social requirements and the development law of the educated, expecting the expected changes of the educated. It includes not only full-time school education, but also half-time and amateur school education, correspondence education, publishing education, radio school and TV school education. According to the reality and future needs of a certain society, it is an activity to guide the educated to acquire knowledge and skills, cultivate ideology and morality, develop intelligence and physical strength, follow the law of physical and mental development of the younger generation, train the educated to adapt to the needs of a certain society (or class) and promote social development.

Educational essence

Multiple Examinations of the Essence of Education

(1), meaning: The so-called essence of education refers to the fundamental feature that education as a social activity is different from other social activities, that is, the question of "what is education". It reflects the inherent stipulation of educational activities, that is, the fundamental characteristics of educational activities.

(2) Four views on the essence of education: superstructure theory; Productivity theory; Special category theory; Multiple attribute theory.

(3) The fifth viewpoint about the essence of education, the theory of consciousness substitution;

In Tang Zhen's view, the essence of cultural education can be summarized as: teaching new individuals ways and means to deal with objects with the knowledge we have mastered about our objects and their relationships. It is a process in which one kind of consciousness changes another kind of consciousness. It is a process in which one kind of consciousness covers or even destroys another kind of consciousness in view of the collision, running-in, infiltration and change between consciousness, which may cause pain to individuals. Because any two individuals face different objects, there will be differences or conflicts in the consciousness gained from different objects, and the recipients of cultural and educational activities will have certain exclusion. In the real society, in order to weaken the rejection psychology of the recipients, first of all, educational activities are mainly carried out between the young and the old. Older people (or those who get knowledge first) generally live in the position of educators, while young people lack knowledge and are like a whiteboard, so they are educated. The second is to induce through utilitarianism and other means. For example, in ancient times, there was a call for "learning to be an excellent official", and today there is a call for educational goals such as "knowledge is wealth", so that educational activities can be carried out normally.

Cultural education changes the individual's choice direction by changing the individual's consciousness space. Through cultural education, human beings have increased the space of individual consciousness, thus finding a shortcut and teaching individuals the ways and means of choosing objects. The cultural achievements of human beings are attached to the individual's consciousness through educators, shaping new individuals and providing a perspective and microscope for the individual's future direction.

Seven key periods of education

The critical period of learning to chew (6 months).

The critical period of order regulation (2.5-6 years old). The critical period for the formation of children's behavior habits, the character, behavior and habits formed during this period often will not change when they grow up. "Look at three years old, look at seven years old."

The critical period of language development (3-6 years old).

The critical period of imagination development (2-8 years old).

Cultural sensitive period (6- 10 years old): Many children in this period are curious, fond of thinking and have many problems. Children's thirst for knowledge should be satisfied.

Golden reading period (8- 14 years old): If you miss scientific reading guidance and a lot of reading during this period, it will cause irreparable defects to your child's growth.

Critical period of independence (12- 15 years old): If you don't grasp this period well, your child will never grow up.
