It
is a common belief that face-to-face learning is advantageous in terms of
concentration of students. However, there
is a more pervasive argument that on-line studying is more convenient as it
can be utilized by students whenever
they want.
To
begin with, studying with teachers and friends in school, an academy, or a study
group has better effects in the
level of concentration of students. Unlike on-line learning that can be
distracted by surrounding objects or an easy
access to other websites, students can focus on the lecture and their friends'
words under the supervision of
instructors. Furthermore, learners can freely ask questions about the lecture
during classes and share their opinions
with their fellows, which can result in the development of thinking skills and
the accumulation of collective
intelligence. For example, suppose that learners are having debates about
whether revenge killing is justified
or not. (가정형을 사용하지 마시고 그냥 평문으로 쭉 이어가주세요~) Some will consider it to be inappropriate, while others will regard it
as tenable as a means that can
retaliate against someone directly. By conveying their own views and
considering and judging others' thoughts, their
views on such a single issue can be widened.
Nevertheless,
I support the idea that studying using on-line materials is more beneficial
than face-to-face learning in
spite of all the advantages mentioned above. It is undeniable that utilizing
Internet lectures can help students to
be freed from the limit of time, which differentiates it and the other method.
According to a recent study, the grades of students
who were preparing for an exam showed great increases in their grades after
taking the learning way of listening
to Internet lectures (이러한 연구가 있었다는 사실 자체로는 주장하고자 하는 바가 전혀 정당화되지 않기 때문에, 최소한의 선에서 파란색 부분, 즉 성적 상승이 왜 성립했는지에 대해 짧게나마 적어주셔야 합니다.), which made them able to review the contents whenever they
want, wherever they want.
To
sum up, while distractions like entertainment websites can disturb students'
learning, it seems clear that free of time
and easy access to previous lectures make on-line learning an attractive option
to make use of. |
