Learning: what matters more – the process or the result?

Abstract

Against the background of the passion for activating the educational process in schools and higher education institutions, the author suggests considering how we teach and develop a child taking into account his psychology. At the same time, he even refers to the technical model of data transfer from one storage device to another, each of which has its own way of connecting to a computer and its own data transfer speed. Here he draws the reader’s attention to the fact that this speed cannot exceed the data transfer speed of those of the named technical devices that have the worst characteristics in this regard. Such a comparison is sufficient to understand teaching, which is focused only on the fact that the teacher imparts knowledge to students in ’ ready-made form. At the same time, reproductive education does not allow us to solve the problems that the younger generation faces. Modern society, science and production need people with developed research and creative abilities, leadership qualities. This is the problem that the modern education system must solve.
