Issue-153 "Students should bring a certain skepticism to whatever they study. They should question what they are taught instead of accepting it passively."

In general, the purpose of studying programs is to teach students new knowledge and skills. All resources in schools, especially teachers and textbooks, are main aids offered to students. Thus, how could students use those resources rightly to attain their goals? The speaker asserts that students should hold a skeptical attitude to whatever they study, rather than accept it passively. I find it is hard to disagree with this idea.

First of all, a certain skepticism makes students sensitive to the reliability of information they get. That is to say, if students bring a doubting and questioning attitude to whatever they study, they will easily identify the false camouflaged in the true. Take some printing mistakes in textbooks as an example. Those mistakes are usually too minor to catch an experienced person’s attention, but they can be major obstacles in a novice’s way to understand new informaiton, like a term in chemistry or a period time in history. When encountering such case, a wise student will soon challenge, rather than accept passively, those mistakes. Then the student may discuss with classmates, refer to other books, or think alone, no matter which means will give the real knowledge to him or her. Therefore, skepticism helps to eliminate the false and retain the true.

Secondly, questioning what they are taught is essential for students, who are expected to grasp firmly new knowledge and skills. As said in the above paragraph, a student of skepticism will often challenge textbooks or teachers. In order to prove a standpoint or fact, the student have to do much more work than other students after class. And, certainly, he or she will be more familiar with those subjects than his or her classmates over time. On the contrary, however, accepting knowledge passively leads to negative effect. Students lacking of skepticism may also be positive in the class, submit their homework in time, and get a good goal. But they learn just by accepting and memorizing, not by precisely analyzing textbooks or teaching materials. Those knowledge will be forgotten soon by the latter one.

Lastly, it is true that students have to spend much time on questioning and doubting, if they bring a certain skepticism to whatever they study. And it seems that accepting all the knowledge and information will be more effective. But compared with getting wrong information or learning courses superficially, spending some time to avoid these flaws is absolutely worthy. Furthermore, creative thinking is the third significant consequence of skepticism. In other words, skepticism trains students to think creatively. For example, the inventors of mechines, such as airplane, washing machine, mobile, computer, etc., who are of high intelligence quotient and think creatively, are often reported to break conventions or contradict authorities when they were students. Actually, most scientists have been skeptical since they were young children. And they never stop questioning previous scientific conclusions, even these conclusions were made by themsleves. So, skepticism offers opportunities to oveturn old unfit knowledge, and creat new one.

To sum up, it is better for students to be skeptical to whatever they study. From my point of view, skepticism allows students to divide the false and the true, study analytically and therefore firmly, and develop creative thinking.
