Martyn Rawson:The tasks of teaching in a fluid world/心得報告
Education is one of important issues. It has an ever-lasting influence on human's values, and indirectly affect all aspects of our lives, such as economy, policies, or cultures in every country. Completely different way of teaching in different country has caused the situation of whole world become ''liquid'', which meant we had to have more flexible mind and change the established model of education, in order to fit in this fluid world.
Martyn Rawson emphasized the point above, then proposed examples about education mixed with different backgrounds, for instance, Western education has "imported" a number of Chinese culture. Moreover, Martyn Rawson talked about "Nature and nurture" , which meant human beings need to be domesticated and civilized to be useful to society. In view of the practical need of society nowadays, students no longer need the traditional education which was too monotonous to learn multiculturalism, but more and more cases that similar to the Western education have developed, to broad students' horizons and guide them to be geard to international standards. If we can really put the point into action, each country will surely cooperate more well and spark more novel ideas during brainstorming.
Then Martyn Rawson talked about functions of education, including three abilities students needed to develop. Compare with skills that Roza talked about three weeks ago, Martyn Rawson emphasized the importance of critical thinking and autonomous judgement. I was extremely agreed with his opinion because human was social animals, and we couldn't live without groups. Thus, if we didn't develop critical thinking and autonomous judgement, people may followed those who are good at expressing but incompetent, and easily evolve into dictatorships. In conclusion, I considered that these two abilities couldn't be overemphasized.By putting the above into practice, I think not only the distance between countries and countries will be much less than before, but also people will be able to live in a peaceful and disciplined place.
