Which do you prefer? - Some students prefer to study alone. Others prefer to study with a group of students. - |
Some people believes that studying alone is more effective. I agree, however, that studying with a group of students is more efficient than alone. considering that the purpose of education is not only to develop knowledge but also to make people sociable, it is undeniable that group study help people to learn logical reasoning and flexible thinking.
First, styding with a several people make possible to enhance the right knowledge. When studying alone, although people can learn the principle of something by themselves, it is possible that the judgement is biased. However, those prejudiced view can be amended by several people. like the verb "Even homer sometimes nods." no matter how smart people are, there must be mistakes.
Second, studying with people who have different area can can increase the interdisciplinary study. As science develops further, people cannot stand alone. for instance, the member of nasa is not only astronomer but also materials, electric, mechanical scientists and engineers. furthermore Einstien, the inventive genious, study also with his group.
Third, group study can enhance our sociable ability. When it comes to the significance of all-round education, society requires educated people who are flexible and understanding. Especially in Korea, most of schools and universities place importance on the ethics and teach the ethical people such as Kong-ja to students. Thus, educated people can admit their own mistakes and compromise each other so that our society can be enhanced by harmony.
As society becomes narrow and complicated, the role of education is changed from only transferring knolwedge to making students both intellegent and sociable. Not only are clever and skillful people emphasized, but also balanced people are regarding as importance. Therefore, I agree that studying toghether is more efficient because of true knowlege, interdisciplinary study and all-round education. |
