Myths About Learning!

Hello friends, be smart be creative!

Many years since the school was born, the nature of learning slowly cloaked the myths that support the existence of the institution. What is it? Jeannette Vos in his book a solid substance, called The Learning Revolution to write four things:

1. School is the best place to learn
2. Intelligence is fixed
3. Teaching that produces learning
4. We all learn in the same style.

Now, even at school though, little by little the concept of learning as the top four myths are being abandoned. Although still "stuttering" to translate a more pleasant learning paradigm, many schools, particularly private schools enforce a way of teaching and learning more dynamic: full color textbooks, learning place arranged colorful, friendly teachers, teaching methods based on the concept of multiple intelligence, and other fun things.

However, it turns out not everyone can enter the area to learn all that comfortable, because comfort is obtained can not be paid only with a smile, but must by reaching into millions. Can?

Regardless of whether we can or to spend millions to schools that comfortable, I actually found the essential essence of the death of myth to learn as said Vos. According to me, since ancient times, when school is not something exists now, learning is not a job, so someone who wants to learn should be subject to a working bureaucracy. Learning is a necessity of life by which man becomes human independent. Therefore, people should be able to learn wherever they find something suitable, attractive, or useful for the study.

Are not the stories of science-seekers in the past was more exciting. I was so interestingly, to the point can be made serial odyssey story dozens or even hundreds of episodes. Knowledge seekers wandered from one place to another, looking for teachers who faqih on their respective fields, then returned home while mengamalkannya along the journey.

I think, even now such things are still relevant and will continue to be relevant at all times. Importance of capital is only one, namely Spirit for Learning. Without the spirit of learning, graduate school children stutter too often see the reality of life, because they can not learn if you intend to sail to stop the real world. During the children do not run out of enthusiasm for learning, they will continue to become independent learners wherever they are, and God willing they will be able to face life's challenges.

Still believe the myth?
