算上今天17号还有三天时间。今天白天还得帮院里去接爱尔兰央行行长,深度焦虑中。
恳请各位牛人指点!!!
"Education will be truly effective only when it is specifically designed to meet the individual needs and interests of each student."
The assertion claims that education needs to be designed to fulfil the specific needs and interests of each student in order to be truly effective. To some extent, I agree with the general assertion that education should be designed to meet each student's specific needs and interests. However, this broad assertion is unnecessarily extended to an irreversible extreme that any education designed in other ways couldn't be truly effective. On balance, I think that while education should aim at each student's specific characteristic, multiple methods should be used to design education system. My agreement and contention with the assertion involve the fundamental and profound analysis as discussed below.
On the one hand, I have concede that this assertion, although suffers from some flaws, has some merits. The implicit rationale behind it accords with common sense and our experience in daily life. After all, children are different with each other, even brothers and sisters have different personalities, as a result, every student has his/her own preferred way of learning, and every student has different advantages and disadvantages. For example, some students understand better and learn faster while listening the teacher's lecture, while some other students learns better while reading the textbook. Besides, some students are good at logical thinking and not so good at language, while other are just the opposite. Hence we must design different mothods for different students and put different weights on different subjects for different students. That's why I agree that education needs to be designed to fulfil the specific needs and interests of each student in order to be truly effective.
On the other hand, I would like to point out that the assertion overstates the relative significance of specific designing and overlooks the constraints of the limited education resources. So far as I know, it is impossible for the existing education resources in current society to satisfy every student's specific needs and interests. If we try to design the education system to fulfil every student's specific need, the only result we will get is that some students will get extraordinarily high quality education, probably children from rich families, while children from poor families get no education. Such an education system is far away from an effective education system.
What's more, although students are different with each other, they do share some commen features, especially for very younkids who need to learn a lot of basic knowledge. In these situations, education designed to fulfil the common needs of students will be also effective, maybe even more effective that individual-aimed education systems when the cost is involved in consideration. So a truly effective education system should contain different parts, the common education part and the individual-aimed education part.
In sum, seldom can other issues be more complicated than the issue of how to design a truly effective education system. When we are designing an education system, we must consider both the benefit and the cost of the system. As far as I am concerned, I believe that while education should aim at each student's specific characteristic, multiple methods should be used to design education system, and the system should different parts for both common education and specific education. |
