IMPORTANCE OF ASSIGNMENTS AT THE SCHOOL AND COLLEGE LEVEL
The main purpose of assignments is to increase the learning capabilities of students. The more we use our brains, the more they develop. This is a proven scientific fact and this is the principle behind giving extremely creative and involving assignments to the students. Students learn a lot more when they read or practice something by themselves.
Similarly, the purpose of assignments is to increase the practical skills of students. Subjects like Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and similar science subjects require practice constantly. The more you practice the better you get. Assignments help in the practice process; it’s like doing the experiments to discover new possibilities.
Some students have goals in life while others just want the degree. For both types, doing the assignments is equally important because it will help in the practical examination like theses or research papers as well as in theoretical examinations. Those with high goals are trained by the assignments to work hard and focus on the things that matter the most.
Multiple assignments at one time make students better time managers. They learn to manage the schedule as well as prioritize tasks. This is the key component to succeed in any field of life. Students learn to prioritize on the basis or urgent versus important and become successful not only in the student life, but professional life as well.
So the advantages are endless and the possibilities are many, if one really thinks about it. But the problem is that students don’t like assignments. They want to enjoy their lives to the fullest, which, if they think about, they can do it on their own if they manage their time. Many students instead of trying hard, pay someone to write an essay or do their assignments to have plenty of leisure time for themselves. But, doing the assignments yourself will polish you and will prepare you for the real life after school and college. And those who take it seriously achieve great successes
In Finland students don't have homework, and they rate among the very best students in Europe. The highest actually, where about 2 in 3 students will go on to college. Sad thing why that can't happen in Albania, is because their whole education system makes it possible for them to learn without needing to get homework. the whole process is completed in school. this is why I agree with you about the necessity of homework, even though I wish I didn't because I am against them. why am I commenting this here? I could use it for a blog topic myself.. Thanks for the idea Alb' :)
ReplyDeleteI think that you need to mention the fact that we don't like assignments even though it may help us for all the reasons you have mentioned.I find your topic interesting, a real one.
ReplyDeleteGood
It's true that students don't want to do assignments because they want to enjoy their life.I also agree with u when u say that assignments will do us more good than harm.
ReplyDeleteIt is true that assignments are very important as long as they promote real learning and not copy paste skills exploitation. Sometimes some pressure might serve as fuel but unfortunately in Albania it is used in the wrong way. Since the grades serve as the only means of assessing students they are seen as the most important thing and students are striving for good grades rather than knowledge.
