Briefly describe the relationship between education and productivity.

Answer] (1) The development of education is constrained by the level of development of productive forces. The development of productive forces restricts the scale and speed of educational development; The level of productivity restricts the specification of talents and the structure of education; The level of productivity restricts the content, methods, means and organizational forms of education. (2) The development of education promotes the development of productive forces.

education to reproduce the labor force; Education reproduces scientific knowledge.

The relationship between education and productivity is one of mutual constraints and influences.

Productivity is people's ability to produce material materials, it represents people's ability to transform and conquer nature, and reflects the relationship between man and nature.

The basic elements that constitute the productive forces include the objects of labor, the means of labor, and the laborers. Among them, the most important of the means of labor is the means of production, which is an objective measure of the level of development of the productive forces and a material marker that divides the economic era.

Productivity factors are constantly developing and changing, and the general trend is:

New factors of productivity are constantly being created and their role is constantly being strengthened. For example, with the transition from the age of hand tools to the age of ordinary machines, new productive factors such as science and technology, management, and education have emerged and developed.

With the transition from the era of ordinary machines to the age of intelligent machines, a new factor of productive forces such as information has emerged and developed, and in the future, there will be new qualitative changes in the productive forces of human society, and new factors of productive forces will also emerge.

With the emergence and development of new factors, the status and role of existing factors will also change to a greater or lesser extent, sooner or later.

The relationship between education and productivity: Productivity restricts the development of education, and education plays a role in promoting productivity.

1. Productivity restricts the development of education.

First of all, the development of productive forces restricts the scale and speed of the development of education. Second, the level of development of the productive forces restricts the changes in the educational structure. Under the influence of the relations of production, although the development of the productive forces provides the material conditions for education, it cannot determine the development of education alone.

The productive forces and the relations of production act simultaneously on education.

2. The role of education in promoting productivity.

First of all, education is an important means of labor reproduction. Secondly, education is a means of reproduction of scientific knowledge. Education is an important tool for the development of science.

There are broad and narrow senses of education. Education in a broad sense refers to all social practices that purposefully affect people's physical and mental development. Education in the narrow sense refers to specially organized education, that is, school education, which includes not only full-time school education, but also half-day and part-time school education, correspondence education, publication education, radio school and television school education.

It is an activity that guides the educated to acquire knowledge and skills, cultivate ideological and moral character, and develop intellectual and physical strength in a purposeful, planned, organized and systematic manner in accordance with the reality and future needs of a certain society, in accordance with the laws of the physical and mental development of the younger generation, so as to train the educated to meet the needs of a certain filial society (or a certain class) and promote social development.

In contemporary times, education and productivity are increasingly linked. From the perspective of the role of productivity in education, the most prominent rotation is that science and technology, especially information technology, have had a significant impact on the development of education. In terms of the role of education in the productive forces, the most prominent is that education makes a great contribution to economic development through the production and reproduction of scientific and technological knowledge.

1) The impact of information technology on education. Information technology has undergone three revolutionary breakthroughs: the first is the birth and popularization of telegraph, radio and radio.

The second was the invention and application of television, computers, and artificial satellites. The third information technology revolution, that is, the information technology era marked by computer and network technology, its impact on education is fundamental, education has begun to move towards the network age, network education is changing the traditional way of education and teaching and learning. (1).

Information technology is changing people's concept of knowledge, and information technology is changing the concept of the quantity of knowledge, and at the same time, it is also changing the concept of the quality of knowledge. (2) Information technology is changing people's perceptions of learning and education. (3) The increasing maturity and popularization of information technology provides a platform for the personalization, democratization and autonomy of compulsory education.

This is because: First, information technology can meet the individual needs of learners. Second, information technology has realized the human-computer interaction mode.

3. Information technology will promote the democratization of teacher-student relations.

2) The contribution of education to scientific and technological progress and economic development. The theory of human capital was proposed by the American economist Schultz. This includes forms such as schooling, vocational education, health care and information search to adapt to changes in employment.
