Many people think that it is more important for students to learn actual facts than to learn general topics. However, I think that it is more important for students to understand concepts rather than learning specific facts. This is because general concepts can be applied to many different situations, so it can help the students learn more. Also, students would learn how to apply concepts to each situation.
First of all, there are many different situations where the same concept can be applied to. Many events or problems that happen in the world are usually originated from the same basic problems, just like there are many math problems that can be solved using one concept. For instance, when people study history, most of them tend to think that rebellions of common people and corruptions of the government officials are different cases, or that rebellions were basically caused by corruptions. This is not true, however; many rebellions must have been caused by corruptions, which were done by officials that were somehow dissatisfied with the king’s decision or the king’s treatment toward them. This shows that many problems are shared the common roots.
Besides, students will learn how each concept can have applications to many situations and how they can apply it. Just memorizing specific facts is not a effective way of learning. Learning how to apply certain concepts will help students to think about situations other than classroom materials in the same logical way. In an experiment, GROUP I was taught general concepts and logic of applications, and GROUP II was taught specific cases. When tested on the specific cases, however, GROUP I showed better results even though the questions were exactly what GROUP II had learned. This proves that thinking about general topics is a more effective way to learn.
To sum up, students learn better when they are taught general concepts and logics, and one concept can be applied to many problems. Therefore, I think that it is better for students to understand concepts.
