The restrictive effect of culture on education

1. Cultural model restricts the educational environment and educational model.

First of all, the cultural model provides a specific background for education. Secondly, the cultural model also restricts the educational model in many aspects. For example, the core of the oriental cultural model is to pursue harmony, advocate virtue and pay attention to the whole; The core of western cultural model is to pursue conquest, advocate rationality and pay attention to individuality. The educational models developed along these two different cultural models have obvious differences in educational purposes, educational contents and educational methods.

2. Cultural tradition restricts the tradition and reform of education.

The longer the cultural tradition is, the greater the restriction on the reform of educational tradition. China's cultural tradition is both inclusive and closed. For example, influenced by traditional cultural traditions, China's traditional education shows the orientation of attaching importance to morality and neglecting skills, respecting teachers and valuing morality, and studying as an official.

The influence of culture on education

1. Culture influences the establishment of educational purposes

For example, different national cultures have different values and educational purposes. For example, in the feudal society of China, Confucian culture with ethics as its value orientation was dominant, which was reflected in emphasizing the educational purpose of "understanding human relations" and attaching great importance to moral education in talent training; "University" talks about self-cultivation and governing the country. Gu said that "every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world". It can be seen from these words that the purpose of education in our country is to serve the country; The west is knowledge-oriented and cultivates knowledge-based talents. Therefore, culture will affect the establishment of educational purposes.

2. Culture influences the choice of educational content.

For example, different cultural development determines the scope of educational content, and different cultures in different periods, countries and nationalities affect different choices of educational content. For example, in ancient China, the main content of education was literature and history, while in modern China, the main content of education was scientific knowledge. Another example: our country emphasizes collectivism, so most of the content is to cultivate our unity and cohesion, while individualism prevails in western countries and pays more attention to personal interests.

3. Culture influences the use of teaching methods.

For example, China culture has always emphasized respecting teachers and valuing Taoism, and students' study is an "ascetic monk". Teaching method is widely used in primary and secondary schools in our country because we have respected teachers since ancient times, while discussion method is more used in the west because they pay more attention to democracy and equality. These all reflect the culture-oriented learning and teaching methods.
