39"The intellectual benefits of attending a university or college are vastly overrated: most people could learn more by studying and reading on their own for four years than by pursuing a university or college degree."
Could people learn more by studying and reading on their own for four years than by pursuing a university or college degree? I think this question does not have a general answer, since to various people, the results of self-study is various. Generally speaking, could a person learn more by attending a university than by self-study depend on if he/she has a strong ability of self-study.
First of all, we could not deny that the university or college is a suitable place for most people to pursue knowledge. Since the first university appeared hundreds of years ago, higher education has become more and more popular in many countries, and has cultivated millions of engineers or qualified workers in many fields. In China, most parents feel proud of their child if he/she could enter a university, for they believe the child can learn well in a university. In fact, studying in a university does have many advantages: a good faculty could guide students to master knowledge with less difficulty and more happiness, discussion with other students could spur and help a student to learn more comprehensively; numerous equipments and facilities in labs are the bridge to truly grasp some experimental skills. All these advantages are usually not available if the student stay at home and learn by himself/herself.
Second, there are also some disadvantages for a student who has a strong self-study ability to study in a university or college. University and college often educated students at a unit of class. When a teacher teaches lessons, he/she has to care about the majority of students and sometimes could not pay enough attention to those students, who is pretty wise, and has a strong self-study ability, such as understanding new knowledge very quickly, reciting something very firmly and so on. As a result, the excellent students often do not receive the education that they deserved. For example, if a clever student is having the class with other ordinary students, he/she usually feels bored for about what teacher says, because he/she may have already understand the knowledge when the teacher first describes it while the teacher just kept repeating it again and again. Unfortunately, he/she could do nothing else but continue listening, for he/she is attending classes with others, and has to obey the disciplines. Thus, the excellent students will learn little in most classes which are oriented to ordinary students.
Third, whether a student should learn by himself/herself or attending a university relies on whether he/she has a strong self-study ability. To some students, who is so clever and mature that he/she could teach him/herself and enjoy learning. If these students do not attending a university, they could learn more at home, because they have more free time to pursue his/her interests. Besides, the Internet and library can supply enough information that those students need. On the contrary, if a student is not mature enough and has weak ability in self-study, he/she will readily be distracted by other things when at home, or just could not find the right method for learning. To those, the university is a better choice.
All in all, although a university or college will facilitate many students' studying, they will also hamper some excellent students achievements. Hence, if a student has a strong ability in self-study, he or she would be better to learn by him/herself. Given that most students are ordinary ones, thus attending a university or college does not overrated. Moreover, in some developing counties, such as China, it is necessary to enlarge the scale of higher education and let more students have the chances to gain the benefit from it. |
