1. The essential attribute of education: education is a social activity to cultivate people purposefully.
Although the essence of education is only one sentence, the forms and contents of examinations are varied. First, it is a direct investigation. If the question asks "the fundamental characteristics of the phenomenon that education is different from other things" or "the qualitative stipulation of education", it generally refers to what we said earlier, that is, "the social activities of purposefully cultivating people."
Secondly, the characteristics of this sentence are summarized. From this sentence, we can know that education has two very important characteristics, namely, purpose and sociality. So pay attention to the choice when choosing one or more items. Of course, the most fundamental feature of education is sociality.
Finally, through the understanding of this sentence, judge whether the phenomenon described by the option belongs to educational phenomenon. Through the analysis of this sentence, we will find that education is a unique phenomenon of people; This is acquired experience. Therefore, when animal phenomena and instinctive behaviors appear in the topic, they generally do not belong to the category of education. For example, breastfeeding after the baby is born, and the big monkey teaches the little monkey to climb trees, which are not educational phenomena.
2. The social attribute of education
Education is eternal: education is a unique social phenomenon of human beings. As long as human society exists, education exists. Or in other words, education and human society go hand in hand. This is often the place to judge the problem. For example, it is wrong to change this sentence to "pedagogy came into being with the emergence of human society".
Education is historic: the nature, purpose and content of education are different in different societies or at different historical stages of the same society. This is because education is not only restricted by the productive forces at that time, but also by the relations of production. For example, the main educational content of our country in slave society is "Six Arts", while the main educational content in feudal period is "Four Books and Five Classics".
Education has relative independence: the relative independence of education means that education has its own operating rules and development characteristics. Specifically, it can be manifested in:
(1) Education is qualitative.
The qualitative stipulation of education lies in that education is a social practice that consciously transmits social experience to the educated to cultivate people.
(2) Education has historical inheritance.
Any education has a historical heritage; Education should pay attention to inheriting and developing national traditions. For example, being good at saving the lost is an educational thought that we have paid more attention to since the beginning of Xueji.
(3) The imbalance between education and the development of social productive forces and political and economic systems.
The development of education and productivity is not completely synchronized with the reform of political and economic system: education is relatively independent of the development level of productivity; Education is relatively independent of political and economic systems. What needs to be clear here is that education can be ahead of the development of productive forces and political and economic systems, or it can be shown as lagging behind the development of productive forces and political and economic systems.
Therefore, when preparing for the exam, we should focus on understanding the essential and social attributes of education, and make careful analysis when doing the questions.
