And that’s why education is ripe for a paradigm change. When I was in community college 95% of my time in the instructors presence was receiving information and being tested. And I was one of the really involved one who made a habit of sneaking up in class and approaching teachers after class of in office hours. Even so their were plenty of classes were I the teacher never talked to me as an individual rather than addressing the class generally, but I still got an A. If the information giving and testing can be can be made more efficient by automating the repetitive part of it, then there is a lot more room for the actual teaching to take place.Alia D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00792974361508759737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551721019133489475.post-90401710984349987102012-05-24T22:36:12.054-07:002012-05-24T22:36:12.054-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Alia D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00792974361508759737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2551721019133489475.post-56703476505673036262012-05-24T11:11:06.980-07:002012-05-24T11:11:06.980-07:00If education were merely a process of communicatin...If education were merely a process of communicating information and being tested on it, your vision might satisfy the process of educating an individual. However, I feel that interaction with professors and fellow students that helps the student develop critical thinking skills and tools for working with other people is an important part of education. True education should not aim to impart information, but should guide the person to find out who they are and what skills will help them become that individual person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
