Do you know what are the four origins of education? Have the students who are getting the teacher qualification certificate entered the review stage? The origin of education must be memorized. I have carefully sorted out the four origins of education for you, hoping to help you.

Four Origin Theories of Education 1 1, Myth Origin Theory

It emphasizes that education is created by a personified God (God or Heaven), which embodies the will of God or Heaven and makes people convert to God or obey Heaven. This view is fundamentally wrong and unscientific. The reason for this is mainly because of the limitation of the understanding level of the origin of human beings at that time, and the origin of education can not be correctly put forward and understood.

2. Theory of biological origin

It is guided by Darwin's biological evolution theory. Compared with the theory of myth origin, this is a great progress, which indicates that the origin of education has begun to shift from myth interpretation to scientific interpretation. Its fundamental mistake lies in its failure to grasp the purpose and sociality of human education, thus failing to distinguish the qualitative difference between human educational behavior and animal feeding behavior, and only discussing the origin of education from the perspective of external behavior without internal purpose, thus discussing the origin of education from the perspective of biology.

3. Theory of psychological origin

The theory of psychological origin criticizes the vulgar educational viewpoint that "the origin of educational biology" does not distinguish between human education and animal instinct, and holds that education exists only in human society, not in the animal kingdom.

4. Theory of labor origin

The labor origin theory of education, also known as the social origin theory of education, was formed under the guidance of Marxist historical materialism and on the basis of directly criticizing the biological origin theory and the psychological origin theory. It originated from Engels' theory that labor created man and human society originated from labor. There are many scholars who hold this view, mainly the Soviet Union and China. Most educators in the Soviet Union and China agree with this view. The word "teaching" first appeared in Mencius with all my heart. "It is cultivated by talented people in the world, and it is also fun."

Four origin theories of education. Three modern academic systems.

1, dual-track school system

The dual-track school system is represented by Britain. A top-down track, its structure is universities (later including other institutions of higher learning), middle schools (including preparatory classes for middle schools and independent schools), in addition to family education below middle schools; The other track is bottom-up, and its structure is primary schools and vocational schools after them (in the early days, it was mainly primary vocational education linked with primary schools, and later junior high schools were added, forming secondary vocational education linked with junior high schools). Later, with the deepening of social reform, Britain tried to integrate junior high school and senior high school, allowing the two tracks to communicate to a certain extent.

2. Monorail academic system

The monorail school system is represented by America. From primary school, middle school to university, all kinds of schools are connected with each other, but art education and physical education are independent of this system.

3. Branch academic system

The branch school system is represented by the Soviet Union. It consists of a single school system in primary education and secondary education, and then (junior high school or senior high school) begins to differentiate, forming a variety of school systems (general education and vocational education) to connect with it. The whole school system formed in this way is like a bifurcation, so this type of school system is also called bifurcation school system.
