1OBSERVATIONS ON SCHOOL AND LEARNING
Education casts upon several significant impact on the society. The short-term effect
of education is the ability to become qualified enough to earn livelihood and reach to a higher
level of standard of living. The long -term effect of education are the development of
disciplines, logical thought process as well as a good sense of morality. We need to educate
our society so that breaking the shell of superstitions related to race and religion becomes
easier. According to my opinion, how much education is capable to influence the society
depends on several factors, which have been revealed from the research works conducted by
proficient researchers like Nuthal Graham and Gutek.
I believe that the thinking process of the young learners can be shaped using the vital
instrument called “Education”. According to my opinion, contemporary classroom
learning are not at all fruitful to construct a creative as well as logical mind. Nuthal
Graham realised the urgency to estimate the effectiveness of classroom learning in the
formation of reasoning abilities of the students and conducted a research in order to study
the thinking process of the students during their participation in the classroom. He had
taken some students elementary schools as his sample size and had taken an interview,
which was opened ended and equipped with video clips. The result revealed that
sometimes the thinking process is affected due to inappropriate communication as well as
the incapability of transforming a learning strategy verbally (Loeb et al., 2018). Another
thing, which was observed that the student attempted to imitate whatever instruction was
given by the teacher or written in the textbook. This thing can be related with the
Behaviourism Theory of Learning, in which the learners are considered passive. It is true
that the ideas of the learners are shaped through learning, but they should inculcate
reflective thinking too, which is not possible through imitation. Again, the result indicated
that the problem solving capacity of the learners were very low. In fact, the conventional
framework designed for classroom learning does not follow the Cognitivism Theory of
