3442. Making Our Students Think!


We teachers have to be careful: we may be too much over-focused on teaching strategies (this is, how to teach) and somehow forget to make our students think, ponder, reason, discern, meditate. 

I mean, of course we have for example to teach a second or foreign language but our students also have to learn how to think. 

As well we should teach them beauty – in a landscape, a poem, a piece of fine arts… – plus the fact that any person is unreachable and some mystery: any person is someone great. 

As well we should train our students at speaking in public, solving problems as a team, holding a nice conversation, explaining some concept… 

And before that, before all that, or at the same time, we teachers have to practice at thinking, reasoning, pondering, meditating… In few words: teaching is great and learning as well! We may be teaching our school subject, of course, but let’s remember to make our students think! / Photo from: commuter_reading
