선생은 학생들에게 자신감을 심어주는것이 구체적인 지식을 전달하는 것보다 더 중요하다 |
People, especially educator, often discuss whether it is more important role of teacher to help students get confidence or educate professional knowledge. I strongly disagree with the statement because the primary role of a teacher is to teach specific knowledge to students and students can get-self-confidence from many other people. First of all, the primary role of a teacher is to educate students with specific knowledge. Of course, teaching specific knowledge is the only role of a teacher, but in my opinion it is most important role of teachers. For example, suppose that a boy who did not learn mathematics enough from their high school teacher enters a university after graduating high school. Although he wants to choose statistics for his major, he will have some problems because he cannot understand some subject related to mathematics. Therefore, he probably needs more time to study in university because he should learn basic mathematics he did not be provided from high school educators. It is not efficient educational process for many students to study in university. This example illustrates why teacher should committed to teach students more specific knowledge. Moreover, students can get many advice and self-confidence from many other people. As everyone knows, teacher is a good mentor for students, but there are many kinds of people to help students to become encouraged and confident. Let’s say that you are concerning about having a new job after graduating your university. Since your parents and your friends have been with you for a long time, they would know well about your strength, weakness and aptitude. So, they can provide you truly suitable advice than your academic advisor because your academic advisor may not know about you and may not realize that you really want to do in the future. In this way, a teacher cannot be always a good mentor; rather, your old friends and parents may be very helpful advisors who are able to advise truly. Taking all of these things into account, teachers should more concentrate on teaching student more academically because it is necessary for students to learn specific knowledge in school. Also, students can be provided good advice and confidence from parents and friends. |
