«Problems
of education system»
Currently, in
many countries undergoing reforms of public education. This process faces many
challenges, problems approach to reform. The first problem is that the children
are trying to prepare for the future of the old methods, which pushes many
children who will no longer see the point of walking to class. Children
explained earlier, that if you do well in school, go to college, get a degree
and be sure to find a decent job. But our children do not believe it: with a
degree, of course, is better than without it, but it does not give any
guarantees. Reformers believe that the way out of the situation may be
improving educational standards. The problem is that the current system of
education was created and be translated to a different era, an era of cultural
education and the economic conditions of the Industrial Revolution.
Until the
mid-18th century, a national education system simply does not exist. Importantly,
education was received by children from rich families and influential classes.
Then it was thought that the mind consists of the ability to identify the type
of deductive thinking and knowledge of the classics in the original - it is now
calling the academic abilities. At the moment, based on the state of education
is the division of people into two types, intellectuals and non-intellectuals.
In fact, we have that many potential geniuses do not even have a clue about
their talents, because their abilities are evaluated on a very one-sided definition
of the criteria of reason.
As everyone
knows, the education system rests on two "elephants": economic and
intellectual. Nowadays, a lot of the children affected by the sources of
information and more external stimuli than ever before in human history.With
each of the sources of information as trying to master their attention, whether
it be computer games, cell phones, television advertising or hundreds of
television shows. But this information it seems much more interesting than what
is taught in school. Another fundamental problem is that the current education
system operates on a system of industry: schools still resemble plants (calls,
breaks, individual housing, specializing in individual subjects).Children are
still trained in groups of 10 to 20 people, divided into age groups. Some
children are given some things easier than others, and it is easier to learn at
a certain time of day. Practice has shown that children learn better in small
groups than in large ones. In reforming the education system need to move away
from thinking in terms of industry, because at the moment of trying to put in a
single framework increasingly standardizing testing methods.
It is not so long
ago was published a study on divergent thinking (not to be confused with the
creative). Creativity - is the process of creating some of the original ideas
that have value. A divergent thinking - it is rather the conditions for
creativity. It has been proven that creativity and divergent thinking with age
fades... [1] We came to the conclusion that it is necessary to stop: we must
first change the point of view of the human mind, it is necessary to stop
dividing people into capable and incapable, but to give the start and maintain
is personal, individual characteristics of the person.It's time to end the
divide objects into abstract, theoretical and professional. It is also
necessary to recognize the truth of teaching children in groups, but not big on
structure. First, it promotes cooperation and communication skills, and second,
a small number of students in this group will result in better learning and
mastering of a material, as one teacher is not 10, and not 20, and 5-6,
respectively for each student will be given more time in education.
Not to be
unfounded, take for example our medical university. On the fifth year of study
there is a system for the distribution of subordinators. There is no dispute
that subordinatura necessary and important, as it allows her more deeply into
sections of the "branches" of medicine. But the distribution system
is not ideal. It is here that there is no logical differentiation among
students. For example, there is a group of anesthesiology and intensive care,
which recruits students with high scores overall performance, with outstanding
points for examination in anaesthesiology and intensive care, there is added
points scored for publications, research papers and articles. What is the
purpose of Medical University in Belarus? And the next aim, which, by the way,
in other countries the same: release of highly qualified specialists particular
area of medicine. Then the question arises: so what's the problem? And the
problem is this: a group of the same anesthesiologists and intensive care
specialists recruited people without explicit approach to personality. A
student may not have a high GPA, not to participate in the active life of the
university, but at the same time, it may just be a fan of anesthesiology and
resuscitation as practical and theoretical science: to go on duty as an
assistant doctor in his spare time to study questions of items regarding future
profession, follow the latest news, articles, publications, research conducted
in the field. It can be said that such a student will be proficient in the
theoretical and practical skills. But! Such a person has the potential to not
get into a group subordinators anesthesiology and intensive care for one simple
reason: there are those who have a higher average score. Average ... That does
not figure human knowledge in a certain field. Where is the guarantee that the
person with the highest average score will be better than the anesthesiologist,
who is an ardent fan of the knowledge and practice? No guarantees, we would
even say that they do not exist at all ... And now remember, what is the main
role of the medical university?
Summarizing, we
need to remember that only the individual approach in education is the best way
of both the individual and the nation as a whole.
