教育のあるべき姿
教育は知育ばかりではない。学習塾や受験戦争の事を考えると、知育こそが最重要のように世間では考えられているように思えるが、そうではないだろう。
知育以外に体育と徳育があるが、私は徳育こそが最重要であると思う。
知育で記憶力が重要な意味を持つような教育は、最早時代遅れと言って良いだろう。インターネットやデジタル世界の普及により、殆ど辞書が不要になったので、情報をどう使うかという事や、情報にどのようにアクセスするかという能力の方が重要になってきた。
学問的知識が実社会で役にたつ事は殆ど稀であり、身体が健全で対人能力が優れている事の方が重視されてきている。知識偏重型の教育は寧ろ弊害の方が多く、一刻も早い見直しが必要だろう。
What education should be
Education is not just about intellectual education. When we think of cram schools and the fierce competition for entrance exams, it may seem like society thinks that intellectual education is the most important thing, but that's not the case.
In addition to intellectual education, there is also physical education and moral education, but I think moral education is the most important thing.
It is safe to say that education that places great importance on memory is now outdated. With the spread of the Internet and the digital world, dictionaries are no longer necessary, so the ability to use information and how to access information has become more important.
Academic knowledge is rarely useful in the real world, and more importance is being placed on being physically healthy and having good interpersonal skills. Education that places too much emphasis on knowledge is more harmful than it is good, and it is necessary to reconsider it as soon as possible.
