Those who consider the obligation of teacher is just to teach their student about their major could argues that the relationship with their student is not essential factor to achieve their obligation. However, I agree with the statement in the topic. There are two major reasons: to become more respectable teacher from their student and to know student’s requirement well to teach thaem.
First of all, building up the relationship with their student helps teacher to get respects from their student more. This is because students want to make deeply relationship with only faith people and they may respect them. In this sense, teachers could become more respectable people by making good relationship with their students. Of course, student respect their teacher from their academic situation such as presentation and group discussion but what matter is not just learning concepts and knowledge but making their mentor of life to live well in this rapidly changing world . As society is getting more complex, the requirement of students is getting more diversity. Therefore, the role of teacher has changed. It was to teach knowledge to their students, but now it is not only to teach them but also to become their role model and mentor in their life.
More over, as far as aware of requirement of their students is more concerned, it is more desirable to make good relationship with their student. Although, teacher can understand about students in the formal teaching circumstances, they never know their concepts and pains in their deeply hearts. Aware of students is the most important factor in terms of teaching. To illustrate, when I was high school student, I was suffered from deciding of my major after graduate high school. I wanted to solve my problem by sharing with others. At that time my history teacher wanted to become my closest friend to solve my problem and to teach me. I accepted teacher as my closest friend and I solved my problem. Also, I could concentrate his class more because I believed that his teaching and sharing during the class could helpful to me and I could get high score from his class. Also, I am studying history to become like my history teacher. |
