When we study the school education system, we know that the formal development of the school education system has three stages: pre-institutionalized education, institutionalized education and non-institutionalized education. Pre-institutionalized education begins with primitive social education of early human beings and tends to stereotyped formal education, that is, entity education. The beginning of institutionalized education originated from the emergence of modern school system, that is, the formation of what we call academic system. With the development of education, non-institutionalized education has gradually become a trend of thought. The ideal advocated by non-institutionalized education is that education should no longer be confined to the walls of schools. The concept of informal education advocated by Combs and others and ilych's thought of non-schooling are both representatives of the trend of non-institutionalized education. These three forms are also educational theories that can be traced back to educational forms.

Educational form refers to the change form of the educational system composed of the above three basic elements in different periods, and it is also the historical realization of educational ideas. According to different standards, different forms of education can be divided. According to the standards of the education system itself, the forms of education can be divided into non-institutionalized education and institutionalized education. Then why are there three stages? In fact, in the process of studying pedagogy or psychology, we can find that we will use the former to indicate that we have not arrived yet. But what we call pre-institutionalized education actually belongs to the category of non-institutionalized education in terms of educational form. Today we will learn more about non-institutionalized education and institutionalized education.

Non-institutionalized education refers to education that cannot form a relatively independent educational form. This kind of education is highly integrated with production or life, not divorced from daily production or life, but has become a relatively independent social institution and its institutionalized behavior. Education before the appearance of human beings belongs to this kind of non-institutionalized education. Today, human schools have formed a highly complex network, and non-institutionalized education still exists, but its position and role in individual development and the whole education system have been very limited.

Institutionalized education evolved from non-institutionalized education, which refers to a form of education composed of specialized educators, institutions and their operating systems. Institutionalized education is an advanced form of human education. Its appearance is a great progress of human education civilization, and it also greatly promotes the progress of human civilization as a whole. All the education we are talking about today, as well as education reform, basically refer to this institutionalized education.

However, compared with non-institutionalized education, institutionalized education also has its shortcomings, which has aroused criticism from thinkers, some of which are still fierce. Ilych, an American educator and advocate of the no-school movement, pointed out in his book No-school Society that since modern times, human beings have established an institutionalized and ritualized school system, which is the main feature. Generally speaking, it is oppressive, homogeneous and destructive, which hinders real learning and education, reduces the sense of responsibility for human self-growth, and leads to the loss of many people's innovation.

Cultivating innovative spirit and practical ability is the characteristic of our times and an important magic weapon for development in the new century. Blind pursuit of non-institutionalized education, okay? Views and criticisms on institutionalized education and non-institutionalized education are controversial. We should take a correct view of the advantages and disadvantages of institutionalized education and non-institutionalized education on human education. We need an institutionalized education system to help the educated build a perfect knowledge system, but the trend of non-institutionalized education is a supplement. I believe that the combination of the two can make the educated realize their own value. So we make a dialectical analysis in two parts.
