Personal standard theory
The theory of individual standard holds that the core of education lies in individual development and self-realization. It emphasizes that education should take individuals as the starting point and respect everyone's uniqueness and potential. Under this concept, education is not only to impart knowledge, but also to help everyone become a better self.
Social standard theory
According to the social standard theory, the purpose of education is to meet the needs of society, and individual development should serve the overall situation of society. This view holds that the growth and progress of individuals cannot be separated from the support and cultivation of society, so education should be devoted to cultivating talents who can make contributions to society.
The balance between the two
These two views have their own rationality, but there are also some opposites. Individual-oriented theory emphasizes individual independence and autonomy, while social-oriented theory pays more attention to the overall interests and harmony of society. In the actual educational practice, we need to find a balance point, which not only respects the needs of individuals, but also serves the needs of society.
