ISSUE51 - "Education will be truly effective only when it is specifically designed to meet the individual needs and interests of each student."WORDS: 674 NO TIMING DATE: 2007-2-1
提纲:总观点-赞成。真正有效的教育应当按照各人兴趣和需求设计,但是应当注意避免某些问题,而这些问题是可以有效解决的。
1有兴趣和需求,学生会积极参与教学。
2 如果抹煞学生的兴趣,会带来的危害。(对比传统教育方式)
3 这种教育方式可能存在的问题,但是是可以解决的:学生一开始可能不知道自己的兴趣所在,这时他们需要的是引导和全面的介绍,教育正是应当适应这种需要。资源有限问题和可能的解决方案。
Should education be redesigned to cater the various concern, purpose or interest of each student in order to fulfill the purpose of education most effectively? Answers might vary from individuals. From my standpoint, the truly effective education should be the one designed with consideration of individual interest and need of each student while some side effects should be carefully avoided.
To begin with, students could truly effectively engage in the education activities with an aim, purpose or interest to them. By reasoning from the past to future, we have good ground to conclude that interest or needs represent the motive force to push human beings into exploring the unknown world. To be concrete, children's specific capabilities, concern, interest, preference and desires constitute the dynamic factors involved in education thus all minds hardly work the same way even if they have the same text books, the same teachers and in the same classrooms. For instance, a boy is unlikely to automatically request for the dull disciplines, as most his peers might consider them to be, such as mathematics, computer program theories unless he has generated specific appeal to these materials. Interest and needs impart students the courage to face with the difficulties, uncertainties, and even confusion in the field they have chosen. For that matter, whether a student could learn the courses well does not account on the quality of teaching method but whether the student is willing or unwilling to apply himself/herself to the material in hand. As the old American saying goes, 'it makes no difference what you teach a boy so long as he dose not like it.' And if the students are truly interested in the courses or eagerly need the technology, the teachers could save the effort to develop various videos, pictures and cartoons to make the materials appealing to students; the students will actively engage in the education rather than passively receive enlisted information.
On the other hand, the detrimental effects of ignoring students' interest and needs in conservative educative development are obvious as well, which diminishes the efficiency of teaching dramatically. For one thing, children refuse to pay attention to the courses which they are not interested in, no matter how important the courses might be. Therefore, forces could only turn out to be counterproductive. For instance, punishment such as spanking, does not serve as an effective way of education or arousing the awareness of importance of courses for it provokes no interest but a sense of obligation. Then the children might be physically presented in the classroom but absent-mindedly. For another, students with potential and capabilities hardly develop their gifts at the right moment if their interest and needs cannot be satisfied. For supporting cases, famous talented including Einstein and Newton reflected in their later years that schooling failed to satisfy their desires is specific fields. While they had to waste their time handling useless tasks, the real education was carried out in libraries by themselves. Therefore, why are we still forcing children to struggle with the endless exams and discussions they do not concern? Why do we impart the skills or disciplines to them which they might not use in their future lives? The ineffectiveness of teaching and studying lies in the fact that students are merely physically presented in the classes and are forced to learn.
Admittedly, there still exist some unsolved problems, which perhaps will not be problems in the near future, before interest-based and need-based education becomes truly effective. First, some educators might point out the educational resources are limited currently and it is almost impossible to satisfy the various interest and needs of millions of students. Nonetheless, modern technology including customer-centered software and long-distance education programs based on Internet might be adopted in schools to supplement the traditional courses. Moreover, another problem is that most students are uncertain about their interests or needs. On this occasion, the basic needs of these students should be searching for their interest and education could provide brief instruction of a wide range of knowledge, which is a symbol of the effectiveness of such education system.
In sum, education will not be truly effective without consideration of interest and needs of the students. With the assistance of modern technology, it is possible to invite each student to truly take active part in the classroom and claims what they would like to learn.
