51. “Education will be truly effective only when it is specifically designed to meet the individual needs and interests of each student.”
Education is a permanent topic in human’s history, and never diminished. Nowadays, people even pay more attention on it, for we have realized how important it is. Thus, it make sense to find out a better way to have the education more effective. The speaker claims that education ought to be fit to individuals. I agree. Since the education is defined to have a formative effect on the mind, character or physical ability of an individual,and the purpose of education is ‘Learning to know; Learning to do; Learning to get together;Learning to be’.
To begin with the threshold problem, individual education can interest students readily, which lead to a better teaching effect.That is to say,students can gain the ability of ‘Learning to get together and Learning to know’. An old Chinese saying goes, “Teaching the proper way makes interested, and interested makes excellent.” The proper way, which definitely meet the needs of one’s, is just what the speaker indicates. So why the proper way can make excellent? The reason is that human has the nature to learn the things that they’d love to learn. It involves the action of subjective initiative. And the education ,designed specifically to meet the individual interests, conceivably render the students to be in such atmosphere that feeling like to know,and willing to share what they got with others. It is a good trend for students to be successful, even they could not be the top ones at last. Therefore, the student-oriented education do be truly effective.
As the same time, the individual education can also bring the students the power of ‘learning to be and learning to do’. As the present education is likely to ignoring the forming of students’ mind and character, the student-oriented education is highlighted for its unique individual care. Such kind of education exerts a profound influence on personality, especially in helping students with establishing their own moral view, on account of that the teacher pay more attention on each student. For example, if one made some mistakes, the teacher could get to know immediately. And then, the mistake would be corrected at the first time, which avoid the long-accumulated mistakes turned into big problem. As well, students may learn how to judge the behavior justice or unjustice, which give tribute to their life-long. On the other hand, the student can also know what is virtue and owe people’s respect in no time. All above give strong support to that the individual education is effective on teaching to be a man .
Moreover, the student-oriented education is distinguished from the present education by training different kinds of people for the society. It is known to all that the traditional education can only train the student as the style that have already existed, and can hardly make innovations. In contrast, the individual education that meets the each one’s needs strinkingly give more possibilities, for the needs of every one are distinctive. As it stands, variety people of talent are dispatched to the society, which contribute to the social prosperity a lot.
In sum, the student-oriented education can achieve the educational purpose in respect of meeting interest, helping form the mind and character and providing variety kinds of people. Though the individual education has some problem in initial phase of implement, it will undoubtably be a truly effective way for educating.
