Russian folklore is a source of wisdom for everyone. In particular, a school student or student gains a lot of information in it. After all, proverbs about the doctrine constitute a considerable layer among the unimaginable multitude of statements and instructive winged phrases.
The role of effort in gaining knowledge
“The root of the doctrine is bitter, but its fruit is sweet” - says the wisdom of the Russian people. Here, the process of acquiring new knowledge is compared with a plant that promises to bear good fruit. Why is its root called bitter? Yes, because no teaching is an easy and carefree process. This is known to both schoolchildren and students. Each of them can tell his story about how hard he was preparing for exams, quizzes, or pored over a term paper. The same proverb carries the same saying: "Without a stick there is no teaching." This is not an easy experience. Proverbs about teaching reflect all the moments of the educational process. Indeed, despite the progress, the characteristics of the human psyche are in many respects similar to those that our ancestors had.
Self Confidence is a Mind Condition
Also, folk wisdom teaches a person the ability to be guided by his own experience. “Good people will be taught to wear water with a sieve,” the proverb says. One cannot always blindly obey another's will. Those people who do not have an opinion are inclined to “peer into the mouth” of friends, acquaintances or bosses at work, sooner or later suffer losses in their activities - they lose water from the sieve.
How does a teacher’s job help you gain knowledge?
Many proverbs about the teachings reveal the secrets of obtaining new knowledge. “Teaching is halfway to knowledge” is one of them. People are used to the fact that a teacher is a professional in his field. They do not even question the question of his innocence. But in fact, the teacher is the same person of flesh and blood as the students with the students. And in the same way, he works or worked at a young age in order to become competent. However, his profession is that tool that allows the teacher to gain knowledge much faster and in large volumes. The secret is very simple - the teacher, like the student, must prepare for the lesson. Only, unlike students, should he do this regularly throughout his life and in a completely different quality.
Student's place and teacher's place
Many proverbs about teaching and knowledge are known and even banal. But from this they do not lose their practical meaning. One of them is the familiar phrase: "Eggs are not taught to hen." What could be more relevant in our time than such a lesson? Now in many educational institutions, the so-called subject-oriented approach to education is introduced, in which the student should be put in the same position as the teacher. He is also promoted in families where the child often forgets about respect for adults. He, on the contrary, becomes a kind of idol for worship.
Proverbs and sayings about the teachings often reveal the truths that teachers and psychologists are working to find. And in this respect it is not always worthwhile to “reinvent the wheel” - just listen to folk wisdom. Of course, schoolchildren and students should be encouraged by the teacher in the learning process. Although, in the framework of the new-fangled approach, students, fortunately, do not teach the teacher, but they occupy an equal position with him. However, the proverb makes it clear that they are so far unintelligent and inexperienced "eggs."
Learning - a challenge for a school student or student at a university
“He who loves science does not know boredom,” says popular wisdom. In fact, for a student who is sincerely interested in the subject under study, there will never be difficulties with the quality of homework or the timely completion of the test. Involvement in the process of reading, solving mathematical problems or drawing can turn the learning process into a real game. Such a game will be much more interesting than computer rpg or shooter games - simply because it is more difficult and represents a challenge to the student’s mental abilities.
