Some people say that in all levels of education, from primary schools to universities, too much time is spent on learning facts and not enough on learning practical skill. Do you agree or disagree?
There is no doubt that practical exposure is as important as theoretical knowledge. A number of people think that much
second
is devoted to teaching the facts Linking Words
instead
of focusing on hands-on experience in all phases of learning, whether it is school or college. I completely agree with the statement and in Linking Words
this
essay I will support my view with valid arguments and examples.
Most of the institutes follow the conventional method of teaching which includes reading, learning and writing. By Linking Words
this
method, children can only recall concepts for a limited amount of point and when it is past to apply that knowledge at work they have forgotten it. Linking Words
Consequently
, many students who have degrees in physics or electronics cannot even change bulbs. Linking Words
Likewise
, many MBAs cannot fill out a tax form. All of these point to the shortcomings of a system of learning that focuses only on code.
Another example of Linking Words
this
is that the current curriculum does not have an equal number of methods and practical classes. To illustrate, while I had one lecture each day on the theoretical aspects of computers), there was only 1 laboratory session in the whole week. Due to Linking Words
this
improper division, I could not practice everything being taught and Linking Words
hence
lacked a proper understanding of the concepts. If we had an equal proportion of suspicion and practical classes, I would have gained better skills and confidence. A recent study by the educational department of New Delhi has shown that youngsters who were shown experiments were able to memorize and retain the information for a longer period of time Linking Words
Linking Words
then
the ones who read it.
To conclude, I agree with the argument that much time is being spent on cramming conjunction used in comparatives
than
instead
of experimental learning because of the current structure of teaching. Unfortunately, Linking Words
this
overemphasis on theory prevents / stops students from acquiring real world skills.Linking Words
