Mythology is the oldest view of human beings on the origin of education, and all religions hold this view. According to the theory of biological origin, human education originated from the survival instinct activities of various animals in the animal kingdom. The theory of biological origin is the first formal theory about the origin of education in the history of education, and it is also the theory that put forward the academic problem of the origin of education earlier. The theory of psychological origin holds that education originates from children's unconscious imitation of adults, and the main representative is American educator Monroe. According to the theory of labor origin, education originated from labor, which is the dialectical unity of social production needs and human development needs in the process of labor.
