Paragraph Meaning (Complete English Translation)
In recent years, not only in schools but throughout society, the importance of the “ability to learn” has been emphasized. Rather than simply memorizing knowledge, the ability to think independently and solve problems is required. In the past, situations where producing the correct answer quickly was valued were common. However, in modern society, there are increasing opportunities to face problems that do not have a single correct answer. As a result, an attitude of trial and error without fear of failure has come to be considered important. This way of thinking has also influenced educational settings. In addition to one-way teaching, classes that emphasize time for students to think for themselves through discussion and presentations have increased. However, it is also essential that teachers do not leave everything to students. They are expected to provide appropriate support, such as showing learning directions and helping organize ideas. To develop learning ability, it is necessary to evaluate not only results but also the process leading to them. Accumulating such experiences leads to future growth.
