It is generally reckoned that the vast majority of people hold the view that under no circumstances can we ignore the significance of the education of youngster; teaching methods, which ensure the efficiency of learning, is of great influence to education. As the old Chinese saying goes, ' a person who only listen cannot understand,' I believe that studying is far more than just listen. Discussions can bring more benefits to students. I will delve in the reasons of taking this stance in the following paragraph.
First and foremost, studying through discussion allows students to exchange their ideas on the issue. Thus, they are able to understand different perspectives of others and thus acquire a full picture of the topic. For instance, in Hong Kong, we have Liberal Studies classes in which teacher encourages us to express our viewpoint on various social phenomena. These topics often require us to put our shoes in different stakeholder. It is impossible for individuals to think from all stakeholders' perspective, while through group discussions, we develop a better understanding toward the issue because we are able to consider a wider range of viewpoint.
Furthermore, communication skills are able to train by a discussion-based lessons. It is a truth universally acknowledged that communication skills, including conveying the viewpoint precisely, grasp others ideas quickly and accurately, is of great importance to people's life, contributing to the workplace harmony and the working efficiency. A discussion-based lecture help adolescents to develop their interacting strategies. During conversations, students have to express their stance to others, and their interacting abilities are trained. As a case in point, I have never face problem of communication after I graduate. Thanks to the discussions I had in my high school, I am well-trained for conversation that I can understand others' points and give response quickly.
I was always amazed when I hear people saying that there should be almost no discussion in the class. Admittedly, professors are of more intelligence than students do, and they can thus give students a clear picture and avoid them making conceptual mistakes. However, leaving no room for discussion stifle creativity of people. They can only repeat what the teacher has taught, without creating their own understanding on the issue. To avoid them having wrong concept, the professor should provide guidance to the direction of conversation.
In short, I believe that the lecture should be discussion-based because it allows teenagers to acquire a full picture of the topic and develops their communication capability. The teacher should leave a suitable room of discussion, not more, not less.
