As usual, I go to a literacy class at random attitude, just like other students. Opening the book, which is put on desk as decoration, and listening to the teacher heedlessly are the common pattern. However, today, lecturer shares his idea which stimulates me to think and breaks all my usual routine. There are three stages to obtain creativity, but Taiwanese children usually ignore one of these stages. The first one is reproduction, which means to mimic others’ ideas. Second stage is imagining, named as association; through the “kuso ideas” of the youngsters, it’s evident that we are excellent in this part. Then, Taiwanese skip the third stage to reach final goal, creativity.
Which stage do we miss? That is criticality. Due to the cultural environment, our children are adapted to accept whatever teachers say without any doubt. Because of this phenomenon, we lose the ability to criticize and yield to the authoritative statement instead of searching the first-hand data to build up our own thoughts. After listening to this viewpoint, I begin to review my attitude toward everything I learn. “Yes, it’s true.” I talk to myself. Acknowledging this stimulates me to view what we take for granted in other ways. I start to meditate why college students should stay in class? Why professor must stand on platform? And, why I never doubt the analysis in literature textbooks? It’s a new begin to me, and a new sight to see this world.
