Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

It is more important for students to understand ideas and concepts than it is for them to learn facts.

Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

There is an ongoing controversy about whether students should concentrate on knowing idea and concepts or focus on studying facts. In my opinion, I strongly support learners to understand concepts first, because knowing the schemes is beneficial to students for several reasons.

First, the students will know exactly what information they know obtain, if they understand the concept of lessons well. Nowadays, people live in the digital era, which tremendous information and data can be accessed anywhere and anytime. To prevent students from being loss in the load of facts, they should know the outline of the course closely so that they can locate the precise data to strengthen their comprehension. For instance, during my high school, I learned about local history of my hometown, which I had to write a paper as a assignment. I didn't understand clearly about the concept of the history that I should write, so I ended up wasting two weeks gathering load of detailed information that I did not need. Thus, knowing the overall idea can save time of students and lead to better understanding in the lesson.

Second, idea can broaden scope of knowledge for many people, bringing valuable innovation to the world. Human cannot create something new if they stuck with existing facts, such as the fact that people used to believe that the world is flat. In contrast, comprehending the concept brings people to something new and useful. For example, Isaac Newton, one of the great scientist of the world, learnt the concept of movement of any object, which needs the force to create motion. Finally, by seeing apples falling from trees, he realized that there is gravity force. Clearly, concept plays significant role in many area, and should be focused by ant learner.

In conclusion, students should concentrate on ideas and concepts to create clear comprehension, because these help students to focus on information and can bring innovation to the world.
