Rote-learning can only be discouraged by the understanding approach. The first thing to do is align and adjust the tuning of your mind to studies and academic responsibilities. When our attitude towards studies is reckless, negligent, and apathetic, aversion for studies is bound to happen. We must change our attitude to studies first. The next thing to be done is make sincere and repeated efforts and mental exertion to comprehend the concepts at hand. Sincere reflection on the concepts and topics always bears fruit. The last thing is to derive joy out of learning. The moment you start deriving joy out of studies, it is an indication of dawn of knowledge and end of the dark night of ignorance and rote learning.
You can either use the following discussion or formulate
your own taking ideas from it:
Student A: Hey, I wanted to discuss something very important
with you?
Student B: Sure, I am free!
Student A: I am very much concerned over the general
attitude of most of students towards education! Marks and grades seem to be
their priority!
Student B: I did not get you! What else should the students
focus on then? If they don’t score high grades and marks, they won’t be
selected in colleges or professional courses! Don’t you know, higher grades in
our country are criteria of selection?
Student A: You don’t get my point! I am not against high
grades and marks; what I mean is they are adopting wrong ways to score them!
For example they are ignoring knowledge and skills for marks and grades. They
just want to score; they are not bothered about enhancing and improving their
knowledge and command over the subjects. They are even adopting unfair and
wrong means to score high grades.
Student B: Oh! Now I get you! You mean to say they are using
wrong ways such as rote learning, cribbing, and other unfair means such as
paying high amount of money to high officials and getting your grades and marks
doctored.
Student A: Exactly. You hit the bull’s eye! Without
knowledge and skill building what good are grades or marks? Life’s riddles,
problems and challenges can only be solved through skills, specialization, and
knowledge. If they are ignored what good will the grades and marks will do?
Student B: I agree with you. All great personages were men
of unprecedented knowledge and skills. They never ever went after marks or
grades. Einstein, Addison, S Ramanujam, etc. were never ever great students
academically! But what a contributions to knowledge and sciences they made!
Student A: Parents are also encouraging their children to
focus on high grades and marks only! As a result our country is lagging far
behind in scientific and technological advancement!
Student B: I think at schools and homes the teachers and
parents must change their attitude. Knowledge acquisition must be instilled in
the students’ minds. High grades are good but knowledge and skills with high
grades is better.
Student A: Our nation will become advanced only when its
people will advance in their knowledge and skills. Every year we have thousands
of students who score high grades; but we need more number of students with
high knowledge and skills.
Student B: Only then our country will be technologically advanced.
