Details are as follows:
1. Imitation is a way of learning: children are indeed born with the ability to imitate, and they learn new skills and knowledge by observing and imitating the behavior of adults. This kind of imitation helps children to establish their knowledge and understanding of the world and help them gradually adapt to the social environment.
2. Diversity of learning: However, education is far more than imitation. Children use various cognitive and emotional processes in the learning process, including perception, thinking, understanding, judgment and emotional experience. They will actively participate in exploration and learning according to their personal interests, motivations and experiences.
3. Social communication and education: Education is not only the imitation of children to adults, but also the complexity of social communication. In social communication, children communicate and interact with their parents, teachers, peers and others, from which they gain different levels of experience, knowledge and values.
4. Progressive evolution of cognitive development: children's cognitive ability will change significantly at different ages. With the growth of age, children are gradually able to think abstractly, learn independently and solve problems. These cognitive abilities not only come from imitation, but also involve their own thinking and reasoning.
5. Role-shaping and creativity: Education is not only a simple imitation of adults, but also involves children's understanding and creative expression of social roles. Children can express their thoughts and feelings through role-playing, painting and writing, which goes far beyond simple imitation.
6. Individual differences and diversity: Different children will show individual differences in the process of education, with different interests, abilities and learning styles. Therefore, simplifying education into instinctive unconscious imitation cannot fully explain these diversities.
