dicapino Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 An individual’s learning process is not complete if the individual is not inquisitive enough to question what he or she has been taught. Students should question what they have been taught because of these reasons: firstly, they have a better understanding and are more engaged in the class; also, teachers and theories are not infallible. An individual’s learning process is not complete if the individual is not inquisitive enough to question what he or she has been taught. Students should question what they have been taught because of these reasons: firstly, they have a better understanding and are more engaged in the class; also, teachers and theories are not infallible. Furthermore, teachers and theories are not infallible. There may be instances when educators do not give genuine information to students, thus it won’t be out of place for a student to question such kind of information. For example, the world would have continue to believe the geocentric theory – that is, earth as the centre of the universe, if Copernicus had not questioned the truthfulness of this theory, and then disabused it by postulating the heliocentric theory. Opponents against my view argue that students become arrogant and precocious, thus believe educators should not allow this. But the opposite is the case, students are emboldened and build up self-confidence when they don’t learn passively without questioning. In summary, the major goal of learning is to make the individual have a thorough understanding of different concepts and ideas. Thus student should continually question what they have been taught.

It is not expected that all students in a class to completely understand concepts and ideas that are been taught ; thus, if a student has problems with a particular topic and he or she questions the teacher, the educator is likely to be more expansive on the issue and this will be beneficial to all students. Also, it makes the class environment more fluid and interesting. Good teachers encourage students to ask questions. Furthermore, teachers and theories are not infallible.
