ABSTRACT

There are extraordinarily important psychological conclusions regarding the nature and essence of the educational process. Man’s behavior is composed of biological and social features of man’s own developmental conditions. The teacher is, on the one hand, the director and foreman of the social environment in the classroom, and on the other, a part of this very same environment. Every artificially constructed social environment will always encompass relationships that distinguish it from genuine reality, and, consequently, will always retain a degree of divergence from real life. As a first, rough definition of education, the educational process reduces essentially to the formation and accumulation of conditional reactions on the basis of innate reactions, and the development of forms of behavior that are useful in terms of adaptation to the social environment. Education creates a social selection of the outward personality. Out of the individual, as biological type, it forms, through selection, man as social type.
