Develop the intellectual and moral faculties of an individual at the behest of the educational process
Educating is one of the most important activities that a person or a institution can develop as it has the tremendous responsibility develop the intellectual and moral faculties of an individual at the behest of the educational process.
The school, teachers and the family, main actors in education
The school as an institution, and the teacher as a professional trained to carry out such a task, are those who develop this very important activity on a formal level, that is, with regard to knowledge and subjects.
Now, they are not the only ones who develop this action but there are also other actors who at some point in their lives have the responsibility of educating another. A father to his son, a grandfather to his grandson, an aunt to his nephew, among others. In these cases, the educational action will be specially oriented to educate the person about what is good or bad to do in certain circumstances, to behave, to respect values and norms, among others issues.
Teach skills, values, knowledge that allow to develop an activity, a profession, or make a decision
So not only will educate teach a child how much 2 + 2 is or which is the capital of France and which of the continents it belongs to, but also educating can be direct, train and instruct someone regarding issues that have nothing to do with knowledge and science, for example, educating someone on how to overcome obstacles in life or what are those behaviors that border on bad conduct and which are those that will have to be followed if one wants to go down the path of correction and kindness.
Meanwhile, also, the action of educating can be aimed at a specific object or element, for example educating the eye if you are working on fashion design Because, of course, in this area, a good eye when choosing fabrics and accessories will be essential to stand out from the rest.
By case applied to people or elements, the action of educating always implies that the recipient of the same learns skills, values, specific knowledge, among others, that allow you to develop an activity, a profession or make a decision in your lifetime.
When someone carries out the action of educating another, he will be able to see her activity materialize through emotional, intellectual and social changes., which inevitably occur in the subject who receives the education in question. Obviously, depending on the effectiveness, the desire and the strategies used in this process, it can be that what was learned last a lifetime or that it be easily forgotten, if it was not reinforced opportunely.
The educational strategy conditioned by the age of the recipient
Another relevant issue when carrying out someone's education will be her age, for example, when to whom educating a child is not able to use the same tools and methods that would be used if an adult were the subject to educate. The child will always require a type of attention and special care, basically, because in childhood it will be where the thought and forms of expression will first be structured of someone, who will be the future basis of everything, then, it must be done with discretion and measure so as not to cause the child a destabilization that harms him in the future development of it.
Evaluation, a fundamental tool to evaluate education
On the other hand, with regard strictly to the formal education or school, in this case, the evaluation will be a fundamental instrument when seeking improvement in it, since through it it will be possible to to know, specifically, if what was sought was achieved, that is, if the student understood what was she taught. And on the other hand, evaluation is an excellent way to establish rewards, attention and punishments when students they studied perfectly, when they are below the expected level or when they did not study properly, respectively.
For all the above, it is clear then the relevance and influence that education has on a person's life. Ideally, the person receives a correct education since childhood because in that way they contributes favorably in the structuring of their thinking and in the development of the pathways of expression. In addition, adequate education from an early age adds up to the process of maturation senses, movements and stimulates the coexistence and the integration with the environment.
