Appropriate reading is conducive to learning from more educational methods, and more convenient access to education sources and channels.As an educated person, I have noticed that there are still many insufficient ways of learning.There are many new ways of education in the world worth exploring, innovating, and improving. Previously, I did not consider the breadth of access to knowledge.I just absorb and transform the knowledge given by the teacher, and forgot my own thinking, so there are many areas that are not very understanding.At the same time, my thinking is not pioneering enough, and the communication with teachers and classmates is too little, resulting in their own space is too closed.
In the process of reading the materials, I found that I had some similarities. For example, sometimes I searched for the information and could not find the relevant content, and I could not get the information I wanted, or it was very different from what I wanted to find. The Internet does not quite understand the information that I want to find out. In addition, I have also heard that people around me can’t afford to buy compulsory textbooks, and the economic situation will also subtly affect their learning status or the degree of care of people around them.
If I were a teacher, I hope to make use of the open teaching method properly, use the open education resources, and break the traditional closed education system, so that teachers and students can cooperate, learn and improve each other in teaching and learning. To improve the students’ creativity and independence.at the same time. I hope to properly interpret the problems students want to know, and try to break the barriers of data, so that students can understand the relevant knowledge as comprehensively and detailed as possible.

I agree with you. Learning should be a process of constant thinking. This is a point that most people miss, and so do I. When I know a math problem can be solved with a formula, I don’t think about why I’m using the formula or whether there’s another way to solve the problem, I just mechanically use the formula to get the answer. The financial burden of higher education on students is obvious. Many students hope to change their lives with knowledge, but they may give up their studies because they can’t afford the tuition fees. This makes me feel very sad. I believe that as these new education models continue to improve, they will create a cheaper and less stressful learning environment for all students.

I agree with your point of view. Many students from poor families who are eager to receive higher education should have more opportunities. They need to spare time to work in order to go to school and also need to ensure their grades. Their pressure is more than other students. Much bigger.

I think you’re absolutely right. Reading is undoubtedly a very convenient and fast way for students to acquire knowledge. Fortunately, today more and more young men are reading as much as possible to gain useful knowledge.

That is interesting. Can you direct me to the data on that (the young men reading more part)?

Hello, Professor.
When I read this article, I think it is more consistent with this discussion. So I’m making my point here.

Hi Lei Han,
Learning is really more than just a process of teaching and absorbing knowledge. Both the student and the teacher should think about how the teacher and the student can interact well with each other to learn. As we have seen in the readings, there are many students today who cannot go to college or cannot afford to pay for it. Higher education can be unaffordable for the less affluent families and they may give up their studies. But we know that knowledge cannot be measured in money, and open education allows more students to access higher education.

Hi, Minrui
Your point is great. Students from poor families do need more opportunities and help. The high cost of knowledge is unreasonable. As you said, open education is gradually helping some people.
The best
Lei.

Thanks for the post, Lei. Your last paragraph is what stands out to me. You write: “If I were a teacher, I hope to make use of the open teaching method properly, use the open education resources, and break the traditional closed education system”. Could you delve into this further? What would it look like to make use of the open teaching method properly?
Thanks!

Thinks for your reply, I think the first thing to do is to open up teaching resources and make inquiry a primary task for students, and second is to give students ample time to collaborate and communicate to facilitate the classroom and teachers should acknowledge the diversity of students’ conclusions.
The best

Hi Lei Han,
I agree with what you said, our learning in the course is far from enough. We still need to study outside the classroom, and open learning gives us this opportunity, so that we can also have resources and platforms outside the school to Learn what you want to learn.

Hi Lei,
I agree with what you said that we, as educated people, are paying more attention to absorbing what teachers teach but forget to have our thinking. I think I’m now trapped in “non-thinking.” After I had learned this course, I started to think about things from other perspectives. I think we are pursuing more education also for our own goods. But only if the teacher is a good teacher who can give students critical thinking and has the concept of equality. I also see more benefits of opening learning, which can give more students with difficulties the opportunity to learn, and it may change their life. I hope OERs can do better and better.
