The law is hierarchical. Education has two basic laws. One is about the law of the relationship between education and social development, which is called the law of the external relationship of education; One is about the law of the relationship between education and human development, which is called the internal relationship law of education.
(A) the law of external relations in education
Education is produced and developed to meet the needs of social development, and it also plays a role in promoting social development.
According to the viewpoint of system theory. Society is a big system, and education is a subsystem of this big system. It is inevitably related to other subsystems of society: economic system, political system and cultural system. And various elements of society: population, resources, geography, ecology, nationality, religion, etc. Education is restricted by other social subsystems and many factors, and it also plays a role in other subsystems and many factors.
The expression of the law of external relations: education should be restricted by social economy, politics and culture, and play a role in the development of social economy, politics and culture.
(B) the basic laws of internal relations in education
Educational activities are a complicated process. In this process, there are many factors. There is an inevitable connection and relationship between them, which plays an educational role in different levels and aspects. The most basic relationships and functions are:
-the relationship between educational requirements and the physical and mental development and personality characteristics of educational objects. The process of education (teaching) should not only be restricted by the physical and mental development and personality characteristics of the educated object, but also guide and promote the educated object to grow towards the expected training goal.
-the relationship between the various components of people's all-round development. In the process of education, we should promote the harmonious development of morality, intelligence, physique and beauty;
-the relationship between educators (teachers), educational objects (students) and the influence of education (educational carrier and its application methods) in the process of education (teaching). We should give full play to students' subjective initiative and teachers' leading role, and be good at using educational influence to obtain the best educational effect.
