In general, curricula in most schools stick to using textbooks to teach students since that method is simpler, more manageable and more cost-effective. However, I think people learn better from various experiences. According to the Korean Times, one of the most renowned educational newspapers in Korea, over 85.2% of teachers in a survey argued that their students have shown enhanced academic performance when participating in various experiences. Indeed, it is true that students learning through both field trips and textbooks show more advances. Practical applications of knowledge such as science experiments help children think more creatively and retain long-term memory skills. Not only school programs but also other activities such as family trips, sports and volunteer work play significant roles in their effective learning. I believe that experience can help anyone. People of all ages can acquire knowledge they are interested in more quickly and profoundly through experience.
