Education in a broad sense includes all educational activities of human society, whether it is formal school education, family education, vocational training, social practice, etc. Can be regarded as the category of broad education. It focuses on cultivating people's all-round quality and personality development, and its goal is to make everyone develop in an all-round way and become an all-round talent who can meet the needs of society.
Education in a narrow sense usually refers to the formal school education system, including primary school, middle school, high school and university education. It focuses on cultivating people's professional ability and knowledge and skills, and the goal is to make everyone have knowledge and skills in specific fields in order to better adapt to the needs of work and society.
Therefore, the fundamental difference between broad education and narrow education is that broad education includes all educational activities, while narrow education focuses on the formal school education system.
In the broad sense of education, the content and form of education are more diversified, which not only pays attention to the learning of knowledge and skills, but also includes the cultivation of sports, art, science and technology, ideology and morality. The purpose of generalized education is to promote people's all-round development, so that everyone can have more diversified abilities and qualities and improve their comprehensive competitiveness.
In contrast, narrow education pays more attention to the cultivation of professional ability and technical skills, and the knowledge and skills taught by schools are more specific and practical, paying attention to students' future career development needs, and organizing education and teaching activities on this basis.
In a word, although there are differences between them, they usually complement each other, influence each other and complement each other in practical education. In terms of personnel training, it is necessary to combine broad education with narrow education and coordinate development, so as to better meet the needs of society and cultivate more comprehensive, useful and innovative talents.
In generalized education, schools usually provide students with more diversified curriculum arrangements, including sports, art, music, science and technology, etc. To cultivate students' hobbies and creativity. We will also pay attention to moral education and cultivate moral concepts and social responsibility.
Education in a narrow sense pays more attention to imparting knowledge and skills, which usually involves educational contents such as subject knowledge and professional skills. For example, in the field of vocational education, the school will offer courses and practical links related to specific occupations, and will pay more attention to the cultivation of students' practical ability.
It should be pointed out that education in a broad sense and education in a narrow sense are not opposed to each other, and there is no absolute boundary between them. The essence of education lies in cultivating talents. The school's educational model and curriculum must adapt to the changes of social needs, and at the same time, we should consider the need to cultivate students' comprehensive literacy and ability.
Only by combining the two can we better meet the demand for talents in the future society.
