I was waiting for my bus, to go home from school.As luck would have it I happen to meet three old students of my school at bus stop.I was very happy to meet my students after a long time gap.
Naresh was school teacher,Rakesh was student in college in Delhi ans was working for his B.Sc degree.Mahesh was working as research scientist in govt lab-NPL in Delhi.
I along with my three students went for cup of tea in school canteen.Their was very fruitful discussion among four of us.I am listing salient point of conclusion of discussion below.
Naresh said it is possible for a person to be a good teacher but not a good student or researcher. Being a good teacher requires different skills and abilities than being a good student or researcher.
Rakesh said A good teacher is someone who can effectively communicate information to others, motivate students to learn, and create a positive learning environment. They are also able to adapt their teaching methods to meet the needs of their students.
Mahesh said A good student is someone who is able to learn new information quickly and efficiently, and who is able to apply that information to new situations.They are also able to think critically and solve problems. A good researcher is someone who is able to conduct original research, and who is able to communicate their findings to others. They are also able to think creatively and come up with new ideas.
I concluded the discussion- the skills and abilities required for each of these roles are different, so it is possible for someone to be good at one role but not the others. For example, someone who is a good teacher may not be a good student because they may not be as motivated to learn new information on their own. Similarly, someone who is a good researcher may not be a good teacher because they may not be as good at communicating information to others.
Moral of story is friends It is important to remember that there is no one “right” way to be a teacher, a student, or a researcher. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and it is important to be in a role that plays to ones strengths.
