Life is full of education, including many, mainly school education, social education and family education.
For family education, we lived in that environment as soon as we were born. We are used to parents' words and deeds, but it is also an important part of our education system. The key stage of a child's growth is mostly living at home, so family education is also an important part of our education and plays a leading role in human development.
School education is the core of our education. Education in a narrow sense refers to school education. The particularity of school education determines its dominant position.
First of all, school education is special. There are three factors that affect human development: heredity, environment and practical activities. In practice, individuals interact with the environment, which in turn generates people themselves and promotes people's development.
School education is a special synthesis of the above three factors, and it is a special activity including special individuals and special environment. School education has unique value. School education can guide individual development, which is the orientation of the acquired development direction.
Education is a purposeful activity to cultivate people, and what kind of people to cultivate determines the direction of individual development.
The value of education lies in establishing a suitable direction for personal development.
Education provides motivation for personal development. People's development is not only manifested in the increase of knowledge, the development of intelligence and the maturity of personality, but more importantly, it should also be manifested in the development based on this development.
As a special educational activity, education bears an important responsibility for acquiring knowledge and experience, cultivating self-awareness, stimulating subjectivity and promoting people's all-round development.
Education can awaken the consciousness of individual development and tap the potential of development. Springer pointed out that education is education because it is the "awakening" of personality and soul, which is the core of education.
The ultimate goal of education is not to teach and accept what already exists, but to awaken people's sleeping self-consciousness, creativity, life and value from the depths of their lives.
As for social education, we know that school education is restricted by social factors. School education is inseparable from social education. Social education can expand students' knowledge field, promote people's all-round development, cultivate students' hobbies, develop students' personality, adapt to students' various needs and enrich students' spiritual life.
The leading role of education is obvious, but it is not omnipotent. Education can neither play a leading role beyond the social conditions on which it depends, nor arbitrarily determine human development in violation of the objective laws of children's physical and mental development.
There are many factors that affect people's physical and mental development, among which heredity, environment and education are the main factors. Among these three factors, compared with heredity and environment, education plays a leading role in people's physical and mental development. Education can not only restrict the influence of people's genetic quality on their physical and mental development, but also actively adjust and choose the role of environment on their physical and mental development. More importantly, education can also have a systematic impact on the direction, speed and level of their physical and mental development. However, education is not everything. Therefore, in the teaching process, educators should strictly follow the characteristics of the physical and mental development of the educated and give full play to the leading role of education in the physical and mental development of people.
First, education can restrict the influence of people's genetic quality on their physical and mental development.
Second, education can adjust and choose the influence of environment on people's physical and mental development.
Thirdly, education can systematically influence the direction, speed and level of people's physical and mental development.
