prompt 6

8- Although it might be tempting to assume that all teachers “dispense” knowledge that students then “store,” surely you have had one or two teachers who broke that stereotype. Why was your relationship different with that teacher, and how did teaching and learning take place?

Breaking the Habit

This week, we were instructed to read the essay the "Banking Concept of Education". It state that the teacher is responsible for all the knowledge that the students had learned so far. This is how the most teachers teach. They just insert information and knowledge into the student and told them that it is very important to remember all those information and knowledge. The student have been portrayed as an empty hard drive of a computer, and the teacher is the programmer that is programming the computer. This situation is common among teacher and student but not always true.

I have a teacher named Scott VXXXX ( I don't feel right put other people's name on the Internet with out their permission). He was my history teacher and have a unique way of teaching. As I recall all my memories of how he tough me lesson, I can said that his menthol of teaching is different than most of my other teacher. First of all, he all way say that we need to think about all the history events, why it happen and how it happen. He doesn't just told us to remember all the date of the events it happen and not knowing the reasons behind it. We usually have discussions over the events to express all the students' opinions and come to a conclusion that is based on the students' opinions not the teacher.

Mr. VXXXX always have a partner relationship with the students. We can exchange information and try to decided what will make sense the most, not just on the teacher is knows everything and students knows nothing. We learn by our judgement of the knowledge not the teacher's.
