Lectures and Discussions
There is a heated debate over the role of lectures and discussions in the classroom. Some people believe that lectures can help students learn more quickly. In contrast, others hold that discussions can stimulate students to learn by themselves.
Those who hold the first opinion suggest that students attend more lectures. In their view, by giving lectures teachers help students master the knowledge they've accumulated over years of study and research. However, others think that in a discussion, the teacher usually guides the students instead of dominating them. They argue that to get involved in a discussion, students have to develop their ability to analyze problems independently.
In my opinion, I stand on the side of neither idea. First of all, either method has its disadvantages. Furthermore, each student has his or her preference. Thirdly, lectures are preferable to discussions in the teaching of science subjects, and on the contrary, discussions are preferable to lectures in studying the humanities. Therefore, we should adopt different teaching methods according to different subjects.
演讲和讨论
有一个在课堂讲授与讨论角色的激烈辩论。有些人认为讲座能帮助学生更快的学习。相比之下，其他人则认为，讨论可以激发学生的自主学习能力。
持第一种观点的人认为，学生应该参加更多的讲座。在他们看来，由授课教师帮助学生掌握他们已经积累了多年的学习和研究的知识。然而，其他人认为在讨论中，教师应该引导学生而不是主宰他们。他们认为参与讨论可以培养学生独立分析问题的能力。
在我看来，我既不支持第一种观点也不支持第二种。首先，任何一种方法都有其优缺点。此外，每个学生都有自己的偏好。第三，讲座更适合科学类学科的教学，相反，讨论学习对人文学科是更可取的。因此，我们应该根据不同的对象采取不同的教学方法。
