Study for result? Or what???

3In Malaysia today, we go school.
Alright, of course, we have to study.

If we pay enough attention on the education system in Malaysia, we noticed that the society judge someone intelligence based on the result.

Here comes the question, is the result represent everything? Children is sent to school for studies, however, children are sent to tuition centre for a better result too. Is the knowledge judge just based on results? Is results really means everything?

For me this is an issue, an important issue. If the society pay their judgement based only on results, then the education system is going wrong.

Go back to the basic of education. Why we do study? Do we study for knowledge?

Yes, never to deny that examination is a test for your knowledge understanding, but result of examination could not equal someone's knowledge in the current Malaysia education system.

In today's Malaysian education system, students focus too much on the examination. We could see there is a lot of people study for the exam, even some of the students got tips for the exam. Is this really could test the students understanding? No, they are just remember the answer if they got the tips.

Also, some tuition centre offers the spot of the exam tips rather than focus on the student understanding of knowledge. They aim for how to score and how the techniques to score, not the understanding.

Besides, the education focus too much on the theoretical input rather than the practical. Students learn no soft skills in school. Students are trained to be a studies machine.

Some people, they could understand well the knowledge of what is written in books, but they are poor in how to express it through words. Some people are good in writing, but when the problem really exist, they could do nothing. Some are good in memorising all the words in the books, and when the questions changed a little bit, they will tell you the knowledge is not recorded in the books. People who can score well in the examination, in the real world, not means that he can score well in who he really is.

Therefore, examination is a test for your knowledge, but the result of the examination not equal how smart a person is.

For me, education system in Malaysia should have an evolution. There is a lot of improvement could be applied. I still feel hopes that Malaysia education system could move a big step forward.

In a nutshell, what really is the knowledge? Is knowledge just a test for how well your power of memorised could be?

Let's think about it.
