Education and training



If you do not read books on pedagogy, and there is certainly enough definitions for all types of learning, all learning can be reduced to three common practices: mentoring and knowledge transfer from master to apprentice ( teacher to student ) on a personal basis, independent study, and mass education .

Of course, that the first path ( mentoring ) is most preferred - it takes into account the individual characteristics of the student, provides the maximum possible amount of information, information transmission losses are minimal. The only problem is the same - the number of students is extremely small. Suppose X is the master and he has to teach 100 students to a level commensurate with their. The maximum it can reach 3-5 people - as a result of training will be delayed for many years. So this way for a mass training is not appropriate, and if it is regarded as a variant of earnings, it would require significant cost to the student, at least, his work as an apprentice without pay during the entire period of study.

Against this background, a small interlude. I am always amused when the young come into the office fledgling nedospetsialisty and tell how they all learn to. But no less than 30-40 thousand. salary. T. e. in the head triggered something interesting, if a person is ready to take immediately, and knowledge (often exclusive), and the money.

Continue. There is a second negative for mentor training. It is connected with the individual characteristics of teachers. Let's have a task to build a bridge. To do this, prepare a 10 bridge builders at a rate of 5 per year. To expedite the process, the contractor hires two teachers, giving each of five students and one end of the bridge from different sides of the river. Do you think the bridge will converge after six months exactly in the middle of the river? . T. e. Each mentor has an individual set of characteristics and experience of it and will send their students. Those in turn will add to this set of rules and pass them on. So in the end get the same two experts will be almost impossible. Although the cost of production will be almost identical. But one eventually take root in the enterprise, but the second will have time or demoted or dismissed.

In contrast to the method of mass education mentor never intended to grow a unique specialist. The main task of schools and universities - to give basic knowledge and, if possible, the skills in the specialty. And there, God willing, the man himself to cope. Therefore, a graduate - is not an expert, it's crude Plural different qualities: one university is clean, the other - with inclusions and may crack from the high voltages. But just to put a disc in front of his own early works. You must apply to her individual treatment, is through mentor training or let himself floundering.

However, contrary to popular opinion is not very positive about classical education, we should not underestimate its role. No wonder the first from bauxite ore are, and only then smelted aluminum products are already on another plant. If you could easily convert the ore directly into the product, the world was very different. However, today you can list only a few professions, where specialists are used to create the very beginners.

Moreover, the existing multi-level system of training ( kindergarten, school, university ) is not in a vacuum is created and associated with the possibility of assimilation of information at a certain age. By the way only to the age of 30 I began to realize how my own company. No, what he did - sold - it was clear immediately, but in the 30 mb like a third eye opened, and the book Kotler seemed livelier and more interesting detective. And although in time the period for which basic knowledge is compressed (now multiplying in the first class pass!), But rather a contribution is not that children are smarter or more parents have to transmit the personal knowledge. Just learning technologies are improving. A need for these professionals is only growing. And the system itself starts to demand more and more young guys, because the more mature professionals are no longer available or obsolete knowledge and experience.

This is not to say that the system of mass education is and should be mandatory for all. It's all about at the point of view. If we look from potential employers, such a system is useful, as fast as possible gives the maximum number of trained professionals for the industry. Yes, they require additional training and this is the problem of employers themselves. However, waiting for high-level professionals or those who have mastered all of himself - is still not possible. In addition, there is a definite plus - is standardization in the preparation. More or less, but all graduates have approximately the same level of knowledge. Thus, we may already have their own unique techniques and additional training them to make significant corrections depending on who came to you. Actually, if everyone coming was unique, the methods generally can not be created.

If you look from the student, it is rare for him using the methods of mass. What's good in that poke your head completely in the clipper, suggesting that this is only the first time, heads are different. However, if you know what to take from this study only the basic stuff, leaving the rest to meet the ambitions of the faculty, the process is greatly simplified. In this sense, my cute American system, when a student identifies himself to do things. Yet no one greeted me, a graduate could not say that fully applies the knowledge obtained in high school, and most reported on the use of only the most basic knowledge.

My favorite method - self-. But he has an obvious disadvantage, even with all the variety of available information - all the bugs have to go again. I remember when I started learning PHP, then a significant breakthrough in advancing education twice, first time I fell into the hands of our university webmaster scripts and I learned at the sites inkluda. The second time - I got a wealth of experience in the form of dozens of scripts and raw tsmski by my predecessor as lead programmer. And I was able to move forward on the basis of this experience a lot more. So constantly and inevitably come to the conclusion that self-study material is an additional way that enhances the mass or the method of mentoring.

What does all this wordy arguments. And besides that I would be glad to pass a deep knowledge of indvidualizovannye maximum number of people, whether free or for money. But more than two or three people at the same time, I provide advice can not. In addition, because of the specificity of my knowledge on some issues, I can not help these people. However, knowledge is shared. And there is a desire to share them. What I 'm doing. Here in the blog, ICQ, Skype in, through correspondence, seminars, etc. Dr..

Another thing that sent me, so are classified as mass and generalized. Develop them further - is the task of the student. I can give you a shovel, to show the place where to dig, but dig a trench would have the most. If you lack the knowledge and skills to determine the place for digging shovel and select the most - you do not need no education, you need a mentor for future growth. And do not these two different tasks to try to stick together: someone needs direction, a teacher, someone.

The trouble today instructions for making money. All are made in the hope that the author will stand by and assist the Board and the shoulder. And he, the author has no idea that made. And in the end nothing but disappointment, such texts do not cause. Audiences do not match.

Organize your thoughts, your desires, your aspirations. And then suddenly you have very suddenly become clear, what you need. Good luck!.
