There is some discrepancy over whether or not a teacher
who is less humorous and strict teaches more effectively than others. Some
people agree with the idea because unfamiliar they argue that a strict teacher is good at managing students. However, I firmly
believe that a humorous and kind teacher is more
advantageous to the education of
students. The reasons
are as follows.
To begin with, close distance between students and
teachers is beneficial for students' studying and school life. Students should
be able to easily ask their teachers whatever they want. If they have a
difficulty in solving problems, or If they cannot adapt to the
school environment, they should be able to request help to their teachers.
Since they are still teenagers, they need to be taken care of. I will introduce
my experience to explain this point. During my middle school years, I had
serious problem about interpersonal relationship. Since I moved to a new
country, I did not have any friends, so
I was lonely at that time. But, my teacher, Mr. James came to me very kindly.
Every morning, he asked about my daily life and often gave his books to
me. His affection made me more confident and his tiny interest had a great
impact on my adaptation. Thanks to his leadership, I could adjust to
unfamiliar surroundings and concentrated to study. Through this story, we can
reach the conclusion: a Kind and familiar teacher can lead
students more efficiently. (주제랑 벗어난 것 같아요. 작성자님은 자신에게 관심을 주는 선생님이
좋다, 라고 예시를 쓰셨는데, 주제는 웃기고 엄하지 않은
선생님들을 옹호하는 입장이라 논리적이지가 않습니다.)
In addition, humor is an effective
tool to explain unfamiliar subjects. These days, Students learn about very
difficult things such as mathematic, physics, architecture, and psychology.
Thus, they need something easy an easy
method to understand them. If teachers
utilize humor and wit to illustrate the academic sources, it is more helpful
for understanding. Also, humor enables students to participate more actively. Students
concentrate on such classes easily because they like less profound
sources (근거 없는 일반화는
최대한 피하세요).
For instance, there was a survey by Seoul Educational Institution to
investigate who is the most ideal teacher. They resembled assembled 200 high school students and divided them into two
groups. The first 100 students consisted of students who were taught by a strict
teacher and the remains are others
were composed of students who were
taught by a kind and humorous teacher. For a half of a
year, students learned about the same subjects. Aftermath, what they
found after was intriguing. The latter group ranked more a higher
level in academic test than the former group. Their scholastic progress was
fascinating. Their activeness and attendance also differed from the former
group. A lot of experts in institution suggested that latter group's enjoyable
atmosphere allowed students to study
more effectively.
To
sum up, a more familiar humorous and easygoing teacher can reduce the distance between students and
teachers and humor is helpful for understanding difficult subjects. In this
regard, I highly believe that relax and kind a humorous teacher is more effective in teaching than strict ones.
