23, Direction: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions (27-31) that
follow.
When you think of writing, what do you visualize? Do you see a solitary individual
like Emily Dickinson sitting alone in an attic room? Do you imagine F. Scott
Fitzgerald lying drunk in his lonely study? Or do you see people working together
– the early leaders of this country huddled in candlelight talking, writing and
revising the declaration of independence? Do you see a famous novelist like
Hemingway leaning over the typescript of a new book with his editor?
Although most of our familiar images of writers present them as solitary, in fact
most writers and thinkers work together to share ideas with one another. Our
historical and cultural mythology encourages us to think of great ideas,
discoveries, and events as the product of individual effort when they usually result
from group efforts. We remember Alexander Graham Bell and his telephone,
Marie Curie and radium, Aristotle and definition of tragedy, or Martin Luther King,
Jr. and civil rights movement. But none of these people worked alone. Bell
developed his inventors etc. There are, of course, hermits and solitary geniuses in
our society, but they are exceptions – so exceptional, in fact, that we
frequently brand them peculiar or even insane.
It is not surprising, then, that recent research in education and business
management show us that people can accomplish more if they work together.
Dozens of studies have revealed that people working as a group to solve mazes or
number puzzles can outperform individuals working alone at the same task. And
perhaps the most interesting, research demonstrates that groups even solve
puzzles more accurately than the brightest individual in them alone.
The classroom in which collaborative learning is used looks quite different from a
more traditional lecture or mass discussion. When you will work in pairs or small
groups, you may move about the room rather than sit still and you will find out
answers for yourselves rather than wait for the teacher to give you answers. In
fact, in most of the experiences, there is no “right answer”. So you and your
groups will be developing your own ideas, not just trying figure out “what the
teacher wants”.
In order to work together with your classmates, you will have to recognize the
knowledge and experience that you and your classmates have. Why work with
others if you don’t think that they have anything worthwhile to share? Why ask
someone to respond to your writing if you think that only the teacher can do that?
Most students have gradually come to distrust the knowledge they and their
classmates have. The traditional educational system teaches most students that
they should listen to the teacher, memorize what she and the text books says, and
then regurgitates that information on exams and in papers. In many cases,
students find it easier to forget or ignore what they think and just concentrate on
what the teacher thinks. In most universities, colleges, and high schools, teachers
and students alike assume that students are empty vessels, waiting to be filled (or
poured) with the knowledge of different subjects.
I know that I was a student; I was often afraid to speak in class. It seemed safer to
be quiet than to be wrong. I remember sitting in English class and
thinking, “Where did the teacher get that interpretation of this test? I thought that
the poem was about a flower and she says that it is about existentialism.”I learned
to keep quiet rather than reveal my ignorance. I think many students share my
fear of being wrong. Consequently, it is not surprising that traditional educators
today bemoan the fact that their students are passive.
If we teachers treat you as if you know nothing about the subject, and if you are
afraid to speak for fear of being wrong, then you will become passive. You will
wait for us to tell you what you think, and then you will write it down and tell it
back to us in papers and on exams. In this kind of system, there is little reward for
thinking on your own. There is also little reward for listening to other apparently
equally ignorant students. This is why students often complain about group work
of any kind. They want to know why the teacher does not just give them the
answer.
Collaborative learning asks that you:
- Have the courage to recognize and speak your own ideas.
- Respect the ideas and knowledge that other students bring to the class.
- Trust the teacher to listen to you with respect and to care about your ideas.
Collaborative learning redefines your relationship to your teacher and to the other
students in the class. It focuses on the knowledge and experience that you bring to
a classroom. It also works by finding out what you know and then allowing the
teacher to respond and give you exercises that will let you learn. The teacher
doesn’t digest all the knowledge and feed it to you like the predigested food fed
to baby birds. You learn for yourself, and the teacher is there as a kind of coach to
guide your learning to point you to important ideas and books, to give you
exercises ideas and books, to give you exercises that will help you sharpen your
skills.
