to comprehend such information received so that they can apply it in their personal
lives. This aids them to resolve their personal issues. Thus, the importance of
education lies in the fact that it can be effectively utilized in the personal lives of the
students so that they can lead a well-established life. This essay tries to understand
the biggest challenge that is faced by a student in the field of studies. In this respect,
certain recommendations have also been provided in order to meet such challenges.
In this respect, it can be seen that the biggest challenge that is faced by an
individual which obstructs them in succeeding in their studies is that of
understanding the information which is imparted to them (Flogie, Dolenc & Aberšek,
2015). The teachers have the responsibility of imparting the necessary information to
the student. However, their responsibility and obligation does not stop there. They
need to ensure that such information is being effectively transformed in to
knowledge so that they can be imbibed by the concerned students. Thus, in this
regard, it is seen that more attention is being paid to the students rather than on the
teachers (Aslan & Reigeluth, 2015). Thus, the biggest challenge in succeeding in
studies is the effective understanding of what is being studied.
In order to meet this challenge, it can be recommended that the teachers ask
the students certain related questions about the issue which is being studied.
Interacting with the students would enable the teachers to understand if they have
been able to imbibe the knowledge imparted in an effective and comprehensive
manner. This would thereby enable the student to overcome this challenge and
succeed in their studies.
