It refers to an educational psychology and behavior mode that takes strong ultimate interests as the driving force of desire pursuit, completely ignores the objective law and purpose of the development of things, ignores the pleasure and enjoyment of the process, and only seeks quick results. For example, the school collects fees indiscriminately, students have a heavy academic burden, and they pursue the enrollment rate unilaterally, as well as excessive grading, high scores and low energy, cheating in exams and so on.

One is blind textual research, that is, utilitarian "art fever" phenomenon. From primary school to university, from parents to society, talents are determined by exams.

The second is to advocate "reading is useless." Especially in the increasingly severe employment situation, the theory of "reading is useless" openly clamors to the society and challenges the embarrassment of knowledge with realistic rationality.

Third, it is one-sided pursuit of performance ranking.

The harm of educational utilitarianism

First, it completely deviates from the party's educational policy. The educational policy requires everyone to develop in an all-round way, while utilitarian education excludes students who have no hope of further study and also damages people's all-round development.

Second, excessive pursuit of enrollment rate and emphasis on intellectual education over moral education. First of all, people's morality and physique are abandoned, and people's personality and creativity are completely stifled in standard answers and sea tactics, which undermines the cultivation law of people and the sustainable development of education.

Third, it is utilitarian education, but it only cares about the present and ignores the long-term; Just fame and fortune, not career. Teaching for money and studying for money are endangering the healthy development of education.
