Specifying the Importance of Thought for Education Considering a Saying
Considering the saying “Obey and find rest and ease”, the purpose of the study is to determine the importance and need of thinking for education. This study is a document analysis. Of all the students studying in different educational institutions like pre-school, elementary school, secondary school, and high school, scientists, researchers-academicians, great artists, and philosophers will be trained and thus they must not hear the saying “Obey and find rest and ease”. Because this saying adopts and promotes a sort of understanding which does not support thinking-inquiry or is even opposed to this kind of understanding, it is blatantly obvious that it will sabotage or prevent the purpose and the learning outcomes of basic/compulsory education. It is important for rulers to realize that it will not be possible to create a society which gives importance to freedom of belief and thought, has environmental awareness, depends on democracy, is sensitive and dynamic with the individuals who live according to the understanding of “Obey and find rest and ease”. The citizen having the understanding of “Obey and find rest and ease” may look like somebody who is not a trouble-maker, is easy going and obedient and good. However, that citizen is always a burden difficult to carry for his country. Anybody or any institutions do not derive any benefits from an individual who does not think of finding solutions to his troubles-problems. Based on some studies, it might be deduced that teachers should include activities and implementations which will make students think-question, use their intelligence-skill, and develop them in their lessons and in addition, teachers should adequately use the teaching methods and techniques which support their activities and implementations included in their lesson.
