雅思写作指导：范文汇总-反复记忆对教育的重要性
Learning is a complex process that involves different strategies andstages. As a key approach of learning, memorization of information by repetition
contributes to the overall effectiveness of an education system. But we should
also admit that rote learning has a number of limitations.
Learning by repetition is an effective strategy in learning. For example,
Chinese people believe that one will get the gist of a book after reading it for
a hundred times. Researchers have found that rote learning is particularly
useful for young learners. When teaching children how to use a computer,
instructors show them over and over again until they can perform tasks
correctly. Moreover, for certain kinds of learning at early stage, the
understanding involved is often minimal. Naturally rote learning assumes an
important role.
However, we need to bear in mind that meaningful learning is more essential
for our education system. When students grow older and enter higher grades, the
scope and depth of their learning grow. Surely rote learning can help students
learn knowledge by heart but it could do little to improve their analyzing
ability and creativity. There has been strong criticism that some schools
overemphasize the importance of memorization of knowledge and produce students
with great weaknesses in applying knowledge in practice. Solution for such
problem could be that schools and students put in more effort into meaningful
learning.
To conclude, learning is a complex progress and students employ different
strategies at various stages. Rote learning is important in education system,
but meaningful learning is more critical for students in obtaining advanced
ability and skills.
