II. Sample Essay: Exploring the Contemporary Phenomenon of Coping Learning in Students (Standard)
'Being ignorant is not as shameful as refusing to learn'. That's absolutely true, if you refuse to learn, you will certainly be left behind by the modern world. However, nowadays, the phenomenon of coping learning has become quite common among students of all levels and has caused many adverse effects, hindering the development of the national education system.
Learning is the firmest stepping stone leading you to the treasure called success. Learning is not just about the knowledge in books but also the process of combining 'learning' with 'doing'. If you only see learning as a means to get high grades, regardless of any means to achieve success to please your parents, then it's really sad because this is coping learning. 'Coping learning' is studying with a resistant attitude, merely aiming to finish without any passion or interest in learning. Coping learning makes students become thoughtless and stagnates their ability to think. Therefore, when facing difficult exams, students with coping learning habits often become very confused and unable to focus on answering, leading to exam results that are completely contrary to their daily test results.
Coping learners are those who are dishonest in their studies, lacking initiative in doing assignments and instead waiting to copy from friends or online solutions in hopes of achieving high scores. Furthermore, coping learners also demonstrate a lack of seriousness in class, passively learning or doing other tasks during class time, so when called upon by the teacher, they often seek help from their peers. Coping learning leads students to increasingly rely on available materials without critical thinking. Moreover, coping learning also diminishes the quality of the school's education because it fails to accurately assess students' actual abilities, making it difficult for teachers to identify knowledge gaps and provide detailed teaching, resulting in larger knowledge gaps for learners.
A major cause of coping learning is the lack of self-discipline in studying among a portion of students, who cannot define clear study goals and thus easily lose motivation when faced with difficult tasks without trying to find solutions. Additionally, there are objective reasons from families or schools that lead students to resist learning. Pressure from family scores inadvertently becomes a barrier, making students feel demotivated because every parent wants their child to excel but pressures them to study to the point of not having time to rest. As for schools, there is no definitive way to deal with students' resistance to learning or when teachers assign too much homework, causing many students to lose motivation and just want to copy assignments quickly to submit.
Therefore, to overcome the situation of students' resistance to learning and bring Vietnam on par with the powerful nations around the world, as President Ho Chi Minh said, every student needs to have a serious attitude towards studying, define clear study goals and plans, and be aware of the importance of self-study to achieve the highest possible learning outcomes, not just imaginary scores on paper. We need to proactively read and do assignments at home so that we can confidently demonstrate our pre-done work in front of the class. The indispensable factor to help students be self-disciplined in their studies is the care, supervision, and support from both families and schools to make students feel that studying is no longer a heavy burden every time they come to school.
Why does 'cultivating people' have to take 'hundred years'? Because people are the masters who bring the country forward. A prosperous country is due to a developed education system that trains many talents in various fields. 'The root of learning may be bitter, but its fruit is sweet' so each of us needs to enrich our knowledge, study diligently to reap the sweet fruits in life.
