▶ Your Answer :
Cheating would be one of
the most troublesome issue in most education institutes. Naturally, it is widely discussed which is the most effective method to prevent this problem between
many actors, like teachers, parents and students themselves. Among that, I
firmly believe that it is important make system, typically penalty mechanism
that students cannot cheat on their homework. Some reasons would be supported
with following sections.
Arguably,
penalty system can make the most effective method which can lead students to
follow the rules. This is because it is natural sense of human to protect the
rules for escaping penalty. It would be more effective when they target
children who follow their instant feelings. This argument can be supported with
following experiment. In 2011, Seoul National University of Education conducted
one survey which interviewed 500 elementary school teachers, which teaching
methods they prefer to prevent cheating. The result was clear that the majority
of interviewees, approximately 70 percent, answered that strengthen the
punishment could reduce the rate of cheating on students’ homework. It is
possible to say that children tend to afraid the punishment, and ultimately
prevent the cheating.
However,
some people may depute that enhancing punishment cannot check every students
whether they cheated or not. Notwithstanding we admit this insist, I maintain
that the method will bring the biggest influence because it overweight other
approaches, monitoring by parents and making more effort to make cheating-proof
homework by teacher. First, parent is not on neutral position. They tend to
hope their children get more higher scores not only on the test, but it also
apply to the homework. For this reasons, parents’ monitoring cannot be an
option. Also, it is impossible to expect cheating-proof questions everyday by
teacher because they are too busy for daily tasks. Put simply, the other two
methods seems simply not available because of its unfeasibility.
In
essence, adding more punishment is believed to be not just the most
cost-effective method, but it also be the only feasible system which can
prevent children’s cheating on their homework. |
