EDUCATIONAL MANAGEMENT THROUGH EDUCATION AND MASS-MEDIA - THE FUNCTIONS OF EDUCATION

Summary/Abstract: Etymologically, the term education comes from the Latin educo-educare, which means to feed, care for, grow plants or animals. With similar meanings, we find the French term education, which means education and from which the Romanian term will also derive. Also, the term can also be derived from the Latin educo-educere, which means to lead, to lead, to bring out. It seems that both etymological directions are correct, and the semantic ramifications are quite close. E. Durkheim considered that "education is the action of the adult generations on the younger ones, with the aim of forming, for the latter, certain physical, intellectual and mental states necessary for social life and the special environment for which they are intended". Although, in the specialized literature, many definitions were given for this term, I noticed that each of them tried to capture either the purpose of education, or the nature of the process, or the content of education, or the functions or sides of the educational act. Ioan Cerghit identifies the following perspectives of his understanding: education as a process – the long-term transformation action of the human being in the perspective of explicitly formulated goals; education as a management action – directing the individual towards the stage of a trained, autonomous, responsible person; education as a social action; education as a human interrelationship – the joint effort between the educator and the educated; education as a set of influences.
