News / Polish "brainbox" comes back to Poland from the UK for a better education [77]
I was benefited by an education that demanded both repetition and abstract thinking.This is the classic form of academic education.
I think that critical thinking issues are used by those who fail repeatedely in exams because they do not have the zeal or the ability to learn.So they attribute their failure to lack of demands regarding critical thinking.I tell you one thing.If you ask these persons who complain about critical thinking issues to face cquestions demanding critical thinking they will fail miserably again and will attribute their failure to lack of a specific source o material to learn.
The right solution is the balanced one.Memorization and critical thinking.They can coexist.The one does not exclude the other.In real word how many times are we asked to come up with data immediately from memory and how many times are we asked to produce critical thinking too?Both appear in same extent.
As far as it concerns the polish way of building arguments,I have noticed that Poles in the forum tend to build very strong and inspired arguments which may be distant from common arguments but show that they have understood the concepts right.
The English tend to build arguments based more on common sense than on inspiration and based definetely more on personal feelings than on written data.
So Poles tend to use a lot of data(maybe result of their academic education) while English tend to use more personal approaches(maybe due to a more free education) which always focus on common sense.
if you had benefited from an education that demanded more than repetition
