Educative Process: Meeting Students’ & System’s Ends

Students have spent quite some time in school.  Perhaps, they can tell what Educative Process is.  The term may not necessarily ring a bell, yet if it does manage to, they can readily connect such term to that of their institution’s method.

The process will surely involve the common platform:

I. Teachers or tutors talk, students listen

II. Students are only encouraged to talk on ‘oral exams’ or other similar activities

III. Students are to do a list of chores: attend to voluminous courseworks, submit essays

IV. Students get evaluated; if they got a problem with such evaluation, tutor and students discuss

V. At the end of the semester, they get their final marks

Question: Does this Educative Process work with students’ own learning process?  Maybe yes, no; or does this question and corresponding response matter?  Another yes and no; yes, because at the end, the educative endeavour is about the students’ development.  No, on the other hand, suggests that there are several and strong factors that reinforce the marks more than the students themselves (e.g., employers’ posted qualification = marks).

Fortunate for students of today, more options are being laid to support better their own Educative Process.  For instance, students have college and vocational choices, apart from university education.  Though more applaud seems to resound for university finishers, private and employment sectors are gaining more interest to college and vocational graduates.

And if educational institutions abound, so are firms and organisations that openly take willing students.  Such students do get firsthand experience and can proudly put that in their CVs.  Extracurricular activities also prove to be another good potential mix of process for students’ dynamic education.  Apart from students, parents and educators, too, have a role to play: provide an unrelenting source of support – financially, intellectually, psychologically, and emotionally.
