Memorising facts is the most important way to succeed in education. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

It has been argued that memorising data is a key method which helps to succeed in

.

Although

I admit that

such

a method is truly helpful, I am

also

concerned that the importance of understanding the learning material ought to not be dismissed as well, given its efficiency and merits for the future of the student.   Nowadays, rote-learning  various facts, related to the field of

one

is

one

of the most common ways of learning, and the reason for

this

may lie in its speed and easiness. Making use of

this

method students can cram for exams in a short period of time, putting a minimal effort and be assessed and evaluated by good marks, which in most cases, is considered a success.

Nevertheless

, memorising is only efficient when

one

should remember information for a short period of time, whereas for longer periods the crucial factor is comprehension. In

one

particular research participants were divided into two groups. Both groups had to

second

had to have a deep understanding of the provided material. By the end of the

research both groups demonstrated great results. The fine line between them,

, was that people using the former technique forgot

. It follows from above that understanding the actual meaning of things gives  long-term knowledge of them.

Moreover

has gained during his/her

, which is virtually impossible to do without comprehending the principles and

concepts of things. To recapitulate, I agree that in some cases memorising is a working way to achieve success in education,
