▶ Your Answer :
This divisive issue is now popular among the general public. Naturally, people from different walks of life have different perception towards it. Regarding this issue, some people believe that all teachers should update their knowledge periodically, others think otherwise. From my point of view, I am in agreement with the former stand. This is largely because that knowledge always changes. Moreover, it would improve a quality of education.
I am of the same opinion with the abovementioned argument, since I believe that teachers should know recent knowledge. Knowledge is not perfect and incomplete. People study and develop knowledge continuously. Therefore, knowledge changes ceaselessly. Teachers should know change of knowledge by continuous studying. By doing so, teachers can teach student up-to-date knowledge. To be specific, a history is evaluated differently as the generation went by. The former president Park wars respected to the greatest president who made economic development in Korea. However, recently, he is one of the most crucial dictator. Therefore, textbook contents are altered according to changing evaluation. If teachers teach old fashioned knowledge, students learn out-of –date and wrong knowledge.
An additional contention that caused me to favor this side is that updating knowledge would improve quality of education. People who work for company should achieve good result unless they are disadvantageous for promotion. Therefore, they keep on self development and study the newest knowledge. However, especially in Korea, teachers are considered a government employee, so there are less possibility that teachers are dismissed. That is why some teachers teach do not develop their knowledge, and then they teach outdated knowledge. In my case, my English teacher had taught almost for thirty years. I was really disappointed that class because of his incorrect pronunciation, on top of that, he only taught grammar which is not used in recent. It was impossible for me to learn conversation skill. Students’ academic level is raised every year. Without upgrading their knowledge, teacher cannot keep up students’ change.
In favor of aforesaid grounds, I am firmly in agreement with the opinion that teachers should go on their study. By doing so, they can have recent knowledge teach more high quality education.
