Everyone at birth has certain inclinations. But the way it will grow, when it grows, what qualities will develop, depends on education, that is, on the purposeful influence of adults on it in childhood. But this largely depends on the circumstances of his life, on those people with whom he will meet, on the characteristics of relationships with others. These factors characterize the process of socialization, which also participates in the formation of the personality. Unfortunately, not all educators understand what socialization and upbringing of a person are, what role they play in the development of the child's individuality.
Man is a social being, he is born and lives among people. Therefore, it is very important how he will learn to interact with other people, how he will learn the rules of behavior in society. Many teachers believe that the main thing in the formation of a child's personality is upbringing. But many examples show that without socialization at an early age it is impossible to teach a person anything, and he will not be able to adapt and live in society.
This is evidenced by cases when children at an early age were deprived of communication with people, for example, Mowgli, or a girl who lived in a closed room for six years. It was almost impossible to teach them something. This suggests that the development, upbringing and socialization of the individual are the factors that are equally necessary for the adaptation of a small citizen of society. Only their presence together helps the child to become a person, to find his place in life.
The difference between socialization and education of the individual
Training is based on the relationship of two people: a teacher and a child, and socialization is the relationship of man and society.
Socialization is a broad concept that includes various aspects, including training.
Socialization is the long-term goal of the teacher, it is carried out throughout the life of a person and is necessary so that he can adapt and live normally among people. And upbringing is a process that is carried out only in childhood, necessary in order to instill in the child the rules, norms of behavior accepted in society.
Socialization and social education is a spontaneous process, almost uncontrollable. People are affected by different groups of people, often not at all as the teacher would like. Often they do not know him and do not set out to somehow influence him. Training is carried out by certain individuals, specially trained for this purpose and tuned to transfer knowledge and skills.
Apparently, both socialization and upbringing of the child have one goal: to adapt it in society, to form the qualities necessary for communication and normal life among people.
The role of educational institutions in the formation of personality
Education, development and socialization of a person occurs under the influence of the collective. Educational institutions are most active in shaping the personality.
The role of teachers in the socialization of children is very great. It is the joint activity of the school, family, religious and social organizations that helps the child to become a person .
