First of all, heredity and its function
Heredity refers to the anatomical and physiological characteristics inherited from the previous generation, also known as genetic quality. Heredity is the material premise of individual development. Its functions are as follows:
1. Genetic quality provides possibilities for human development.
2. The difference of genetic quality is one of the reasons for individual differences.
3. The maturity of genetic quality restricts the level and stage of physical and mental development.
4. Genetic quality only provides material premise for human development, but cannot determine human development.
Second, the environment and role
People live and develop in a certain environment, and the environment largely determines people's development.
Environment includes two aspects: material environment and spiritual environment. People's acceptance of environmental impact is not passive, but positive and dynamic.
The impact of the environment on people is as follows:
1. The environment makes the development possibilities provided by heredity come true.
2. Environment determines people's development direction, level, speed and individual differences.
Third, school education and credit.
(a) Why does school education play a leading role in human development?
Education includes family education, social education and school education. School education has a great and far-reaching influence on people, because:
1. School education is a purposeful, planned and organized activity to cultivate people.
2. School education is carried out by specially trained teachers, which is more effective.
3. School education can effectively control and influence various factors of students' development.
(b) The unique function of school education in influencing human development
1. School education sets social norms for personal development.
2. School education has the special function of promoting individual development.
3. The influence of school education on individual development has immediate value and delayed value.
4. The school has the function of developing individual special talents and personality.
Fourthly, the great role of individual subjective initiative in social practice.
The individual's practical activity is the decisive factor to realize the individual development from the potential possible state to the realistic state.
The first level activity in the system of personal practical activities is the physiological activity carried out by human beings as living beings. The second level is individual psychological activities, and the most basic is cognitive activities. The third level is social practice, which is the most dynamic exchange activity between people and the environment, an exchange of energy, and reflects people's active choice.
Education needs to attach great importance to the development of students' subjective initiative.
