This type of true/false, right/wrong testing does not promote actual learning. Speaking from experience, students may be able to memorize answers and pass tests, but the information is soon forgotten. In my opinion, the biggest problem in education is lack of retention. Students must be taught how to understand concepts, why it is important to retain the information, and they must be engaged to do so. Our job as teachers is to learn how to engage them and ask the right questions in the right way to promote genuine understanding, not trash-can learning.Jessica Garrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06719040058220227082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707703066300530859.post-87003105705954313542014-02-07T21:46:46.168-07:002014-02-07T21:46:46.168-07:00Hopefully it was obvious that this particular test...Hopefully it was obvious that this particular test was fabricated to be humorous. As far as your philosophy goes though, I couldn't agree more. I am actually writing a paper on this topic right now. (My thesis statement, word for word: I believe that our current education system gives grades too much value, and genuine learning too little) From a student's perspective, it is so easy to get caught up in grades, and the whole process. I've seen many people give up because of grades, and I've seen many people stress themselves to exhaustion because of them. I not too long ago had a complete mental breakdown over grades, that really forced me to re-evaluate what grades really mean. I love school and I love to learn, and I came to the realization that as long as I work hard, and stay passionate about what I care about, then the grades simply become letters. Nothing but letters. Anywayyyy, one of the requirements for this paper is finding someone else that agreed with our statements. That proved to be really hard to find, so I was very happy to come across this page. So, thank you Mr.Bower for believing in the pure love of learning. I appreciate it and I hope for the sake of students like myself that our system will soon change for the better.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18108183820621210352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707703066300530859.post-84722626974634013112014-02-07T13:33:24.776-07:002014-02-07T13:33:24.776-07:00Wow, I really like the idea of allowing students t...Wow, I really like the idea of allowing students to ask questions as well. It makes learning more interactive and can be just as effective in gaging understanding.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954390995160357085noreply@blogger.com
