Education in a narrow sense refers to specially organized school education; Broadly speaking, it refers to social practice activities that affect people's physical and mental development. Latin educare is the source of the word "education" in the west, which means "education".
Educators carry out purposeful, systematic and organized education and training on the mental development of educatees according to laws, regulations and industry norms, according to school conditions and professional titles, and use existing experience and knowledge to teach people, explain various phenomena, problems or behaviors for them, and improve their practical ability. Basically, it is to look at things with a relatively mature or rational thinking.
In it, people gradually moved from the touch of the senses to the state of cognitive understanding, forming a relatively perfect or rational conscious thinking. But at the same time, people have self-conscious thinking and their own sensory dimensions, so the conscious thinking of any education is not necessarily absolutely correct, but should understand the direction of their thinking in a perceptual way, as long as it does not deviate from the inherent essence of things.
Historical background
In the west, the word education comes from the Latin word education, and the prefix "e" means "out", meaning "out" or "out", which means that something originally hidden in the body and mind is triggered by some means.
Etymologically speaking, the word "education" in the west has an internal meaning. It is emphasized that education is a natural activity, aiming at arousing the inherent or potential quality of natural persons from the inside out and making it a realistic development state.
Educational function
The function of education, that is, the efficacy and function of educational activities, is a question of "what education does". The function of education can be roughly divided into personal development function and social development function.
The individual development function of education can be divided into two aspects: the individual socialization function and the individual individualization function of education. The fields of social activities mainly include economy, politics and culture, so the social development function of education can be divided into economic function, political function and cultural function of education.
