Learning Takes Place Not Only in Classroom
Essay:
“It has been said: not all learning takes place in classroom. Compare and contrast knowledge gained from personal experience with knowledge gained from classroom instruction. In your opinion, which source is more important? Why?“
Learning takes place not only in the classroom but also in our everyday lives. This is because to learn does not mean just to gain academic knowledge. Rather, learning refers to acquisition of any kind of knowledge that can give us instructions on how we should behave. Information that we get in the classroom is, without any doubt, useful and proven and it can broaden our mind. However, school years are relatively short in terms of a life span, and, therefore, there are a lot more things that can be attained outside classroom and that are equally valuable.
Learning in the classroom has many benefits. One of them is that the information we get there is valuable and correct. Before publishing our textbooks, everything that should be written in them is proved several times. As this is people who prove this information, they may not notice some mistakes. However, the percentage of these mistakes is very little. As a result there is a low possibility to be misled.
Another positive site of learning in the classroom is that some kind of knowledge people can gain only there. For example, the Big Bang Theory cannot be directly experienced. Also we have now plenty of high technologies; some events that took place in the past cannot be really reproduced.
Besides us the most important people in our learning process in the classroom are our teachers and tutors. They can always support us and give a wide variety of knowledge because each of them is a professional in his or her own specific field of knowledge and therefore they can tell us a lot of interesting facts they have learned. Then, from their instructions we can find for ourselves the field we want to be involved in and deepen our knowledge about this subject.
