Ukubaluleka Kokufunda Nokubhala

Ngo-2021, amazinga okufunda nokubhala emhlabeni wonke kubantu abaneminyaka engu-15 nangaphezulu alinganiselwa kuma-86.3%; e-US kuphela, amanani alinganiselwa kuma-99% (World Population Review, 2021). Ngokombono wami othobekile, ngicabanga ukuthi lokhu kungenye yezimpumelelo ezinkulu zesintu (kanye nokuya enyangeni mhlawumbe nokusungula u-ayisikhilimu). Kodwa-ke usemkhulu umsebenzi okusamele wenziwe ngoba kusenabantu abadala nezingane ezingama-773 million abangenawo amakhono okufunda nokubhala. Inhloso yethu njengomphakathi womhlaba wonke kufanele kube ukukhuphula amazinga okufunda afike ku-100% ngenxa yezinzuzo ezinkulu zokufunda. Ukwazi ukufunda kuvumela umuntu ukuthi akwazi ukufinyelela esisekelweni solwazi esinqamula inkambo yomlando wesintu futhi asebenzise lolu lwazi ukuhlakulela amakhono amasha nokuqonda. Ukufunda kusenza sikwazi ukuhlola umhlaba ngaphandle kombono wethu ngamunye, nokuzwa imithombo engapheli yobuciko.

Ngo-1966, iZizwe Ezihlangene zamemezela uSepthemba 8 njengoSuku Lomhlaba Wonke Lokufunda Nokubhala ukuze zithembise imizamo eqhubekayo yokuthuthukisa ulwazi lokufunda nokubhala (i-United Nations, nd). Ngenxa yemithelela emikhulu ye-COVID-19, kubaluleke kakhulu kithina lolu Suku Lomhlaba Wonke Lokufunda Nokubhala ukwamukela imithelela emibi ukuvalwa kwezikole nokuphazamiseka kwezemfundo okube nakho ekuthuthukisweni kokufunda, emazweni aphesheya kanye nase-US Emhlabeni jikelele, ukufunda nokubhala okuphezulu Amanani ahlotshaniswa nemiphumela yezempilo engcono, ikakhulukazi amanani aphansi okufa kwezinsana (Giovetti, 2020). Njengoba abantu bekwazi ukufunda, bangakwazi ukuxhumana kangcono nokuqonda ochwepheshe bezokwelapha kanye nemiyalo yezokwelapha (iGiovetti, 2020). Lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu ngesikhathi sobhadane lomhlaba wonke, lapho kudluliselwa khona imininingwane yezokwelapha ukulwa naleli gciwane. Ukukhuphuka kwamazinga okufunda nokubhala kuthuthukisa ukulingana ngokobulili ngoba kuvumela abesifazane ukuba babe ngamalungu akhuthele emphakathini wabo futhi bafune imisebenzi (iGiovetti, 2020). Kulinganiselwa ukuthi kukho konke ukwanda okungu-10% kwabafundi besifazane ezweni, umkhiqizo ophelele wasekhaya ukhuphuka ngesilinganiso esingu-3% (iGiovetti, 2020).

Kepha ukufunda kungasenzelani thina ngabanye? Amakhono okufunda athuthuke kakhulu avumela ukuthuthukiswa kwamakhono angcono namathuba emisebenzi (iGiovetti, 2020). Ukufunda kungathuthukisa nolwazimagama, ukuxhumana, nozwela, futhi kungavimbela ukwehla kokuqonda okuhlobene nobudala (iStanborough, 2019). Ukufunda nokubhala kuyikhono elidluliswa ezizukulwaneni ngezizukulwane, ngakho-ke uma unezingane, enye yezindlela ezinhle kakhulu zokuzigqugquzela ukuthi zifunde ukuzenzela zona ukuthi ukufunda kungaba mnandi (Indy K12, 2018). Ngisakhula, ezinye zezinto engizikhumbulayo engizithanda kakhulu futhi zokuqala kwakungokuthi mina nomama saya emtatsheni wezincwadi futhi sobabili sihlola izincwadi. Umdlandla wakhe wokufunda wawucindezela kakhulu kimi futhi ngibe ngumfundi wempilo yami yonke kusukela lapho.

Amathiphu wokufunda kabanzi

Ezweni elixakekile nelineziyaluyalu, singasenza kanjani isikhathi nesisusa sokwenza umsebenzi othule njengokufunda? Ingasaphathwa eyokufaka izindleko zezincwadi! Nanka amathiphu ambalwa ngithemba ukuthi azosiza…

Nginomqondo wokuthi noma ngubani angathanda ukufunda uma ethola uhlobo lwencwadi olufanele. Ngokuya ngencwadi engiyifundayo, isipiliyoni singafana nokubuka upende womile, noma ngiqeda lencwadi ngokushesha okukhulu kufanele ngigijimele esitolo sezincwadi esiseduze ngiyothatha incwadi elandelayo ochungechungeni. Ama-Goodreads ingenye yamawebhusayithi engiwathandayo ngoba umuntu angakwazi ukusetha iphrofayili yamahhala futhi axhumeke kunqwaba yezincwadi ezinconyiwe ngokususelwa kokuthandayo kokufunda. I-Goodreads nayo inesici sokwakha izinselelo zokufunda, njengokuzenzela umgomo wokufunda izincwadi eziyi-12 ngonyaka (enye indlela enhle yokukhuthaza ukufunda okwengeziwe).

Kuyesabeka, manje sekunenqwaba yezincwadi engifuna ukuzifunda, kepha ngikwazi kanjani ukuzithenga?

Umtapo wezincwadi uyinsiza enkulu yokufinyelela ezincwadini, kepha kuya ngokuthi uhlala kuphi, lezi zingase zingafinyeleleki kalula noma zingaba namahora alinganiselwe. Kepha bewazi ukuthi manje kunezinhlelo zokusebenza ezikuvumela ukuthi uhlole ngokwamanani amabhuku (noma ngisho nama-audiobooks) avela kumanethiwekhi womtapo wolwazi? I-Overdrive yenza izinhlelo zokusebenza eziningi ezivumela abasebenzisi ukuthi benze lokho kanye. Lezi zinhlelo zokusebenza zinama-audiobooks, indlela enhle yokujabulela izincwadi kulabo bethu abasendleleni njalo. Kepha kuthiwani uma ufuna ukunamathela kumakhophi aphathekayo ezincwadi (intandokazi yami ngoba inika amehlo ami ikhefu ekubukeni izikrini zamakhompyutha)? Kukhona njalo izincwadi ezisetshenziswayo. Isitolo samabhuku engisithandayo engisithandayo lapha eColorado sibizwa 2nd noCharles (banezindawo eziningi kwezinye izifundazwe). Izincwadi zingathengwa ngemali eshibhile, zifundwe, bese ziphinde zithengiswe (ngaphandle kokuthi uyazithanda futhi ufuna ukuzigcina). Enye inketho enokuthengwa oku-inthanethi ngumthengisi oku-inthanethi Izincwadi ezithandwayo.

Ngokufingqa, ngithanda ukukushiya nesisho sikaDkt Seuss: “Lapho ufunda ngokwengeziwe, kulapho uzokwazi khona izinto eziningi. Lapho ufunda okwengeziwe, izindawo ozoya kuzo zanda. ”

Sikufisela usuku oluhle lwamazwe ngamazwe lokufunda nokubhala ngo-2021!
