Is it more important for a teacher to help students gain self-confidence than to teach specific knowledge? 2007.3.10教育类


Comparing to teaching specific knowledge, it is more important for a teacher to help students gain self-confidence. For one thing, having confidence stimulates gaining knowledge. For another thing, building confidence will benefit students after graduation.

First, having confidence helps students learn specific knowledge more effectively. For example, in today's English class, students are encouraged to talk free their opinions on given events in English. In the talking, some mistakes may appear. However, unlike the teaching method prevailing 20 years ago, today's teachers do not always correct mistakes explicitly and criticize students for commiting grammatical errors, but rather usually give praise to students for their presentation. The method focuses on building students' confidence and encouraging them to talk. The result of changing method is apparent: 20 years ago, most students were good at spelling, grammar, but few dared to communicate freely, while today's students are confident enough to convey their opinions in English. Not only confidence influences learning of English, it also influences study of other subjects. Scientific research on learning style shows confident and extrovert students are more likely to grasp and take in knowledge, in other words, their learning process is more efficient.

Moreover, having confidence helps students perform better in future. Knowledge changes, while personal qualities like confidence, diligence do not easily changes. We are living in an age with information explosion. Knowledge is updated with an amasing speed. So specific knowlege learned in school may be outmoded when students step into society. Therefore, it is inevitable that we have to learn new knowledge without few guidance from teachers. We have to rely on our qualities, which are formed in school study, like confidence, diligence and determination to acquire needed knowledge.

Therefore, in order to have better teaching result and , teachers should give more attention to foster students' self-confidence than teach specific knowledge.

Therefore换到后面去好些, it is inevitable that we have to learn new knowledge without few guidance from teachers.  ThereforeWe have to rely on our qualities, which are formed in school study, like confidence, diligence and determination to acquire needed knowledge. 这段论证感觉没有展开，走入社会后有哪些东西需要学，可以列举一些，比如有自信去与同事交流帮助他人，有自信去改正错误，有自信去完成任务以提升职位等等。另外本段又加了除了自信外的 diligence and determination 有点条理不清了，如果想把他们和自信同归为人们的基本特性的话，可以转一下说自信能让人们的勤勉和果断延续得更久，发挥得更有效，一点小意见，lz考虑一下啦！~~总之写的不错！

Therefore, in order to have better teaching result and , teachers should give more attention to foster students' self-confidence than teach specific knowledge.
