Learning About the Relevance of Education Through an Introduction of the Scientific Method

Abstract

: The education is one of the most valuable, needed and supported aspects in human life. Realizing about the relevance of education can be done in many ways. In this paper, the author reflects one way: through an introduction of the scientific method to students. The scientific method has been introduced to pupils before high school and the qualitative results of it in terms of attention and comprehension, along with the method itself, is treated as well in this paper. In terms of attention from the pupils, a much better connection with them is achieved when the students take part in the class through questions to them or through participation in experiments along with the words and explanations needed. The same education will not be more efficient if it is not more participatory. From the human and social point of view, education is the key to mature as a society. Therefore a very important effort should be taken to not only develop the academical background, but also the human one. Learning moral and self-criticism is more than essential for us to grow as human beings: We are alone; no matter how much we are accompanied, we are the ones who live in this human body and the ones who have to take the ultimate decision whether to do this or not, to be or not to be, to do or not to do, and more than the decision itself what matters is to understand that there is a responsibility along with such a decision.
