There is no doubt that education is what every person needs
to survive. You might hear people say that even though you don’t have the
necessary education, you can be successful. That is not true at all.
In the modern world, education is irreplaceable. Just think
about it, if you need to understand something, you must have its knowledge. How
do you acquire this knowledge?
Education provides you with this knowledge.
Honestly, obtaining education has become very easy these
days. There are numerous sources of gaining knowledge. For instance, just as
you are reading this article, you are gaining information. Similar to it, there
are several other methods like online courses and streaming lessons online. Regardless
of the method you choose to gain education, there is one thing that you must
understand.
Effective communication is what makes teaching and learning
fruitful. If teachers and students don’t share their ideas with each other, the
time they spend learning wouldn’t be as effective as it can be. It doesn’t
matter that you are a teacher or a student, you must recognize the importance
of communication in the field of education.
Generally, this aspect is not considered important and it
causes critical issues.
Students often have a perception that teachers are not
approachable. They believe it is better to work on their own and not consult
their professors.
Why?
Mostly, it is just a presumption that develops when students
begin to learn. From the start, this concept is rooted in their minds and it
only grows with time. A time comes when students completely avoid conversing or
sharing their ideas with teachers. They have a fear of this authority that
teachers possess. Due to it, they face several issues such as not being able to
write their papers or unable to find information.
They can just consult their teachers and solve this problem.
However, they don’t because of fear.
When students don’t interact, teachers also don’t
communicate with their students. Most of the teachers share their ideas and
interact with only those who reach out to them. They don’t attempt to consult a
student who doesn’t sit at the front or asks questions.
Due to it, a gap is created between them. It only seems to
grow as time passes and due to it, students continue to face issues.
What to do?
If you are a student, you should keep one thing in mind.
Your teacher is not going to scold you. Honestly, teachers are quite friendly
and only a minority of them are not approachable.
If you have any problem, you should consult your teacher
without hesitation. If you are honest, your teacher will also help you resolve
the issue.
And if you are a teacher, it is better if you give attention
to those students as well who don’t appear to be bright. It is possible that
reaching out to them might help them and reduce their fear.
If you are effective in your approach, it can even benefit
the student!
