Social value of education
The influence of 1. on educational purposes

What kind of people should be trained in education depends on what people expect from education. In traditional education, people expect to use education to maintain social stability and transform the existing social system. The corresponding educational purpose will highlight the needs of society and emphasize the cultivation of the quality or quality needed by society. In modern society, the utilitarian color of education is getting stronger and stronger, and people's subject and self are getting weaker and smaller. Therefore, the resurgence of humanistic education requires education to restore people's value and dignity and help realize the perfection of personality. Cultivating a complete person has become the highest or ultimate goal of education.

2. The impact on the content and methods of education

Traditional education is oriented to the society, and it pays attention to whether education can meet the various needs of society. The selected educational content and methods focus on imparting knowledge and training skills, rather than revealing meaning and value; Pay attention to the immediate effect of accepting knowledge and mastering skills, rather than cultivating and developing internal abilities and qualities; Emphasis is placed on the possession and transformation of human beings, rather than the expansion of inhuman dignity and value. As a result, cramming teaching centered on classes, books and teachers can be seen everywhere.

Modern education not only emphasizes the social value of education, but also emphasizes the individual value of education, and advocates the "humanization" and "personalization" of education, making people the focus of modern education. Under the guidance of this value orientation, the contents and methods of education have great flexibility, emphasizing that knowledge comes from people themselves, guiding people to actively construct their own understanding, and giving people maximum self-expression and self-choice.

Under the guidance of its educational value orientation, educational subjects choose their desired educational contents and methods, so as to achieve the unity of methods and purposes, contents and forms.

3. Influence on the relationship between teachers and students

The relationship between teachers and students is an important medium and carrier for education to exert influence on students. The realization of educational goals, the implementation of curriculum and the improvement of educational quality will ultimately be achieved through the interaction between teachers and students. However, under the guidance of different educational values, teachers will form different views on students, development and education, and hold completely different views and attitudes towards students, thus resulting in different teacher-student relationships and affecting teacher-student interaction.

In traditional education, the teacher's task is to preach, teach and dispel doubts. The teacher's creed is that only through strict management and training can people have hope. Students' bounden duty is instilled and controlled, and the development of students' ability and quality always depends on the intervention and support of teachers. Teachers don't believe in students' own abilities and regard students as "conscious subjects". Therefore, in the process of teacher-student interaction, an unequal relationship has been formed between teachers and students.
