▶ Your Answer :
There are many types of classes to be participated and
performed in school. But it is common for students to attend class with
lecturers or open discussions with other classmates in the school.
I think the latter one is more beneficial to students since
it can give an opportunity to participate in class actively compared to classes
only performed with lectures. Moreover, if the students have to be participated
in the group discussions, they can be a good motivator each other and as such,
they will be able to elevate their achievement in the class.
To begin with, in my opinion, it is most critical to concentrate
and participate with enthusiastic attitude in learning something well.
Especially, in classes, many students are likely to be lost their interest with
long continued lecture. But if the students allowed to do activities as a group
such as group discussions and team assignment, they might be able to
concentrate on their doing and boost up their energy to do their studies.
For example, when I worked as an English teacher for middle
school students at academy, I had to deliver the lecture to them. I always
tried to involve them to my class but they were easily distracted. For this
reason, I tried to do group session with the students and give the assignments
that has to be done together. As time went by, they showed the enthusiasm that they
have not shown before and they were not be likely to be distracted easily due to
the responsibility to complete their team assignment. If I had not tried the group session in my
class, I could not experience the difference of student’s performance in the
classroom.
On top of that, unlike the class
only performed as a lecture, when the students participate in the class performed
as a group discussion, they could experience competitive atmosphere in the
class and they would try to do better not to be left behind. In this way, they
could elevate their performance in their studying. My own experience is a
compelling example of this. When I was a freshman in university, I had to
submit my team project assignment in only one months. The subject of project was
so tough that I couldn’t complete easily. My teammates also were in trouble to
get over this. Moreover, when we heard a news that the other teams were doing
well without any problems on their work, we just frustrated and discouraged
hearing that one. But we were encouraged each other and motivated by the other
team performance at the same time. We just tried to do our best all day and
night and with the help of professor and other resources related to our
subject, we could complete the project successively. Our presentation was also
finished with praise.
To sum up, I believe that the
students participate in class with group discussions is effective to
concentrate on the lessons without any distractions and elevate their achievement
in the mood of competitiveness among students. In this regard, I maintain that
taking open discussions with professors and students in class would be
beneficial to students rather that attend the class only with the professor’s
lecture.
