Is little's theory personal or social?
Theory of biological origin.

Little Noel, a French sociologist, is a representative figure in the theory of biological origin. The essential feature of education is to cultivate people's purposeful social activities. They believe that education is a biological phenomenon, not a unique social phenomenon of human beings, and education also exists among animals. For example, an eagle teaches its young to fly. This is the first formal theory about the origin of education, which marks the beginning of a scientific explanation of the origin of education. Its limitation is that it fails to see the essential attribute of education, that is, educating people, and fails to grasp the purpose and sociality of human education. Only biologists are the source of education. As far as people's research is concerned, the learning behavior between animals is only an instinctive behavior and cannot be called learning.

The value orientation of individualism is mainly reflected in the educational thoughts of naturalism and humanism. The main representatives are French thinker Rousseau, British Locke, American Rogers, German Froebel, Czech Comenius, Swiss Pestalozzi, German Kant, American Maslow and French Sartre. Representatives of social standard theory: Xunzi, Plato, Herbart, Durkheim, Natop, Kerschensteiner, Comte, Baglai, etc.
