Because animals are unconscious and can't have purposeful activities, there is no education in the animal kingdom, and some activities are just a genetic instinct for survival.
However, there is a learning phenomenon in the animal kingdom. For example, the process of ducklings learning to swim from the mother duck belongs to learning, but not to education. There are three subjects of learning, including people, animals and machines, so the machine is understood as learning. For example, when we use a word document, we input the program into the document and then start running. This is an examination method that has appeared in many provinces.
Social attribute of education:
(1) Education is eternal. Education is a unique social phenomenon of human beings. As long as human society exists, education exists. Therefore, education has existed since the primitive society of mankind, but the primitive society education is scattered and there is no school education. School education only appeared in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties of slave society.
(2) Education is historic. What is emphasized here is that the nature, purpose and content of education are different in different societies or different historical stages of the same society. For example, in feudal society, talents should be trained for the ruling class, and the teaching content is four books and five classics, while in modern society, talents with all-round development in morality, intelligence, physique, beauty and labor should be trained, so quality education should be implemented.
