Let’s Design Our Students!
“Teachers are designers…..” (Wiggins & Mc Tighe, 2005, p. 13)
Perhaps it will be a ‘dangerous’ thing if we read and make a conclusion the quotation literally. It is just a metaphor of a teacher. Is it mean that the teachers must shape their students become anything based on the teachers’ intention? Will the students’ future be killed by their teachers? Absolutely the answers are NO. So that, what is the purpose of comparing teachers and designers?
As we know we are going to do some preparations before we do our jobs. We do that because we hope we will get the best result after we strive to do the best that we can. Teaching is like that as well. Teachers should make some plan before they teach their students in classroom. We usually call it as a lesson plan. The elements that should exist inside the lesson plan are the objective learning, duration of teaching, activities, and other things that teachers think those are necessary.
I will not explain more about lesson plan here. Now, I just want to tell the real facts that we usually see in education world of our beloved country. Based on my experiences and my friends as well, there are many teachers who taught in the classroom without any lesson plans. Perhaps they thought that teaching is a skill that they have already mastered in. I think it is not fully right. Yes, we maybe agree that teaching is a skill that we can learn. The more often we teach the more chance we can teach better. However, teaching is one of the ways we do to change our students become better. Of course it is better if we plan what we will do before we teach in front of class. I think everyone agree that something with good preparation will achieve better result than something that we do without any preparations. Hence, let’s prepare ourselves to become the next generation of “designers”! ^_^
