The origin and development of education
Education is a unique phenomenon in human society, which originated from the needs of human participation in social life and human physical and mental development.

Communicative activities

Educational activity is a communicative activity, and the social life of primitive people provides basic conditions for the communication between members, which is beneficial for the older generation to impart the knowledge and experience of social life and productive labor to the younger generation, so that they can develop physically and mentally.

Knowledge transfer

The educational content of primitive society corresponds to the needs of primitive life and production skills. The educational consciousness of primitive human beings is a process of gradual strengthening. In the early days of primitive society, the initiative and consciousness of human beings to impart knowledge and learn from others were very low. However, with the evolution of human beings, the development of society, the discovery and accumulation of knowledge, and the increasing consciousness, purpose and planning of education, education and life are finally confused.
