On the Rule
of Three assignment we worked on in class last Tuesday, I wrote about how
thinking critically and creatively is essential for a student to learn and
expand their open mindedness. After
watching the Passion Project, it just emphasizes that critical and creative
thinking is necessary for ones development.
In the Passion Project, they state that critical thinking is a universal
tool along with passion, endurance, and love.
Teaching these universal tools along with the class material will create
life lessons and students will realize that these tools can help them in the real
world. It is like teaching the students
to survive. In the Passion Project, Karina
states that many teachers’ think that content is enough. The content alone is not enough because they
do not understand it and do not see the value in it. When you have students memorize facts a lone,
they will surely forget things that are taught through this method. Having the content relate to something or
have them think about why it is important makes the content more memorable than
not. The quality of education does
matter and effect the students long term.
There are teachers that do not see that though and also don’t understand
or encourage their students. Those
teachers only see their work as a paycheck and not as the students’ future.
