Why is it so difficult role of pupils and students?

It is necessary that the student had a big heart and courage, because tyazhek cargo wisdom and far the road to it.

Each of you must be alone in his knowledge

God and his understanding of the earth.

X. Gibran

How different can understand the role of a student! Ambiguous determined and the process of teaching. Some come from the fact that the faster end to the doctrine and get rid of compulsory education, is regarded as a nightmare. Others prefer ayut see in this process an opportunity to demonstrate their ability to master the world.

This second approach is more valid. Must realize that learning continues throughout life, but with different quality and intensity. Is it possible in this regard include the role of the student only to childhood and youth? How do you think?

EXERCISE 1. When we play the role of student?

Remember when you last learn something. It was your own initiative or you made? You feel that playing the role of student?

What is your own definition of that role? What are the requirements for placing it in your environment? Performed whether this role only in the schools?

The word "science" you have only been associated with the assimilation of knowledge and includes the drafting of practical skills? Can we say that the doctrine - it is memorizing the material presented in the book? Try to give his definition of the term.

As you have learned that today know how to best? Remembering by repeated hearing, imitating the behavior of others, experimenting and discovering new or even in any way?

Did you apprentice? Under what circumstances? What role brings you more satisfaction: student or teacher?

Share your observations with your companion.

What does it mean to learn?

Encode the new information, acquire knowledge, be able to reproduce them, to use a familiar or new situation, to use the acquired knowledge creatively, to acquire and upgrade the skills ...

Attractive is it for us the role of pupil / student, we can easily identify with her? What challenges await those who would like to play this role perfectly?

Exercise 2. Weep over the role of the ideal student

Using the recommendations from the previous lessons, weep over his role as the ideal student.

If you can tune in emotionally, imagine the faces of people actively involved in the process of your learning. This may be your parents or people impose on you in this process great hope.

To warm up is helpful to recall a situation in which you are unable to meet the expectations and hopes pinned on you (you do not pass an important exam, remained in the second year, did not come in the next round of competition, lost the contest ...).

Try to relive the disappointment, shame, embarrassment, hurt pride ... Contemplate arisen in your memory about the person - teachers, parents, friends - and tell them loud and clear: "My dear, I'm not a perfect student, he was not and never will be!"
