Gaps between students and teachers
Why there is a gap between students and teachers?
There are many reasons that may give an answer to this question. One of the first reasons may be considered to be the age difference between students and teachers. There is a widespread idea that between persons of different age there will always be a gap. Because teachers are older and more experienced, sometimes they try to impose their ideas and beliefs, creating another reason to create a gap between two generations. Another reason may be considered the severity of certain teachers. But sometimes the gap is the result of students’ attitude. Students may have a negative attitude towards their teachers. Due to this, students refuse to collaborate with their teachers and students create a barrier between these two sides.
Ideas to solve the gap between students and teachers
Each relationship between teachers and students is different. Due to this, if there is a gap between these two parts of the educational process, there is always a particular way to solve this gap. In our opinion, one idea to overcome to this issue is to initiate a discussion that should clarify all the aspects of the relationship between students and teachers. Each part of this dialog should express its points of view and then try to put them together. Another idea may suggest inviting teachers, as the more experienced part of the dialog, to reduce their demands towards students. In this way, students may feel that they are more important than teachers and they may become more interested in becoming closer towards their teachers. Speaking about the students, they may help solving this gap by being able to listen to their teachers and come with their feedback to teachers’ demands, in order to have a mutual agreement.
Yes Asmahan, you're right. Teachers should be aware in dealing with students to bridge this gap. As teachers are the more conscious group in this gap, they should adapt their strategies to meet the students' level of thinking.
