I guess the case you described happened in a local school.
開心學習is a product of self-motivated learning rather than a goal itself.
Learning should be fun starting from the very beginning when the baby tries to explore the world around it.
It is when one-way teaching which replaces self-motivated learning of the small child which renders learning no longer as 開心 as before.
The smart girl was considered to be troublesome by merely asking her teachers ‘weird’ questions.
It’s typical one-way teaching (or better known as spoon-feeding) and the same will not happen in inquiry-based learning.
Besides the issue of 開心學習, one-way teaching will affect the development of the child’s brain which in turn will adversely affect his/her learning.
This vicious cycle loops repeatedly until the child has lost his/her intrinsic interests in learning and the ability to think critically and independently. Students from local schools can still obtain good results in HKALE/HKDSE by working hard enough and the good results can still sustain for some of them in their undergraduate studies.
However, the further they pursue their studies in the next level, the fewer of them can sustain the good results as they have been previously constrained in thinking critically and barred from inquisitive learning earlier on. The above is not just theoretical, including 開心學習, and it actually happens in quality schools providing inquisitive learning, though usually charging a substantial fee in the absence of Government funding. Last but not least, the following (partial) table of 2012 IB DP results from Hong Kong shows that inquisitive learning and開心學習 (re: comparatively speaking as preparation for IB DP exam is no easy job though the atmosphere is more relax in the earlier PYP and MYP stages) can still lead to good results: http://www.hket.com/store/IMAGE/HKET/2012/201208/20120821/HKET20120821LA01ATL.jpg |
