1. School education has a strong purpose.
Schools are institutions that specialize in training people, and almost all activities are carried out around training people purposefully. No matter what form or type of school education, it is impossible to have a basic idea and design for the specifications and quality of personnel training. The reason why the purpose of school education is relatively strong is mainly in the following two aspects. First of all, the purpose of school education is clear. Secondly, the purpose of school education is relatively unified.
This shows that the purpose of school education is consistent with the requirement of social dominance, and the influence of school education in all aspects is consistent in the basic purpose. If the influence of all aspects of a school is fragmented in its basic purpose, students will be at a loss and distorted. Third, the purpose of school education is relatively stable.
2. School education is systematic.
The systematicness of school education is mainly manifested in the following four aspects. The first is planning. Generally speaking, school education is planned, not random and chaotic. Only planned educational work and educational influence can ensure the efficiency and effect of education, and the order and stage of human development also require school education to be planned.
The second is organizational. Generally speaking, school education is more organized than spontaneous and disorderly. The school itself is an organization with various types and levels of organizational units, so school education is also carried out in and through organizations. School education must organize the loose educational influences inside and outside the school in time and space, and make them form a system and whole.
The third is cooperation. Generally speaking, school education is relatively coordinated, not fragmented and conflicting. The influence of internal education in schools is also quite complicated, which is not only scattered in time and space, but also inconsistent or even conflicting due to the differences in educators' consciousness, attitude and level, as well as the intentional or unintentional driving and restriction of personal needs and interests.
3. School education is highly selective.
The factors affecting people's development are complex, diverse and uncertain, which requires school education to select, sort out and process the complex and diverse educational influences, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, discard the false and retain the true, discard the rough and select the fine, and create a good and harmonious small environment for the development of the younger generation as much as possible. Otherwise, school education will become spontaneous and chaotic. The selectivity of school education is mainly manifested in the following aspects.
The first is the choice of education and training objectives. The society is constantly developing and changing, and so is the requirement of society for people's quality. Furthermore, the social hierarchy and structure are also complex and diverse, so the requirements for people's quality are also complex and diverse but not very consistent.
The second is the choice of educational content. It is impossible and unnecessary for school education to convey all human cultures to the educated. Instead, we should choose the content that is more in line with the needs of social development and human development, as well as the characteristics and laws of human development, and pass it on to the educated.
The third is the choice of educational methods, methods and means. The ways, methods and means of education are colorful and constantly developing and changing. Different educational contents and different educational objects often have endless demands on the forms, methods and means of education, which requires choices.
4. School education is professional.
Among all social institutions, school education is the most specialized in training people, although training people is not the "patent" of the school, nor is it the only function of the school. The particularity of school education is mainly manifested in the following three aspects. First of all, cultivating people is the basic function and central task of school education.
The first reason why schools appear is that society needs to establish a place to train people. The first reason why schools exist is to train people. The first task of school function is to cultivate people, regardless of university, middle school and primary school. Secondly, there are relatively systematic and complete professional courses in school education.
Curriculum is an educational content specially organized for learners' learning, with a series of requirements and norms. Not all educational contents can be called courses, but courses reflect the particularity of school education. Third, school education is mainly carried out by teachers who specialize in education. Teachers specialize in education and are professional educators, taking educating people as their own responsibility.
5. School education has a strong foundation.
From the perspective of lifelong education, all kinds of school education at all levels lay the foundation for the lifelong development of people at different levels. The foundation of school education is especially manifested in basic education, general education and general education, which has a "fixed tone" or even a "qualitative" education for people's life development and has a decisive impact on people's life development prospects and development potential.
Even the educational content of professional knowledge in specialized schools is mostly a universal and basic part of a particular field. In a sense, all kinds of education at all levels are learning to be a man, to do things, to survive and to lay a foundation.
