Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Grades encourage students to learn. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
A hotly disputed topic in the contemporary world is that of learning. It’s primacy for students has gained public salience in recent times. The result of this new found attention has led us to work on the drivers that encourage learning. The general consensus is that the more you can absorb the more fine-tuned you become with the process of survival.
Hence, students have been goaded to draw more and more from the information at hand to prime themselves for today’s world. The easiest way to motivate them to act as a sponge is to introduce grades- an alphabet or number designated against their effectiveness in learning. However, the evidence gathered in the last 10-20 years correspond to a attenuating of learning motivation through grades. I will expand on two specific reasons for the same in the following essay.
First and foremost, the introduction of grades has had the inadvertent consequence of rendering mental health problems for the students who fare poorly in these graded evaluations. This can be observed through innumerable studies that have been carried out by organizations across the board that not only decouple the notion that grades positively impact learning but instead, point out at the fact that these grades have actually proven to be inimical to actual learning. Had it not been for these grades, we would have been grappling with far fewer number of mental health cases.
Secondly, a grade oriented learning tempts young ones to cut corners wherever possible to increase focus on areas of maxium reward and dispense with areas that are least likely to get tested in examinations and assignments. This selective approach to learning, doesn’t offer a comprehensive understanding of the subject and can even lead one in developing false notions of consummate knowledge. My personal experience is a compelling example of this. When I was in college, students in order to achieve the highest grades possible, skipped large portions of the text and primarily focused on the areas that were likely to reap the most benefit. Consequently, they got A’s in computer courses without developing the ability to code and write software programmes. If the grading woudn’t have been there, then, in all probability, these students would have endeavoured to thoroughly covered every aspect of the book and hence , would have been able to code.
All in all , there is no direct correlation between grades and learning with some saying that grades impede us from real learning while others point out to the toxic environment that has come about because of a desire to achieve these alphabets and numbers.
