Discussions of Memorization in Education

Abstract

The general purpose of education is to raise individuals within advanced language, mental, social and emotional skills. New approaches and models are used to achieve this goal. Ineffective, useless practices, one of which is memorization are avoided in this process. Memorization has been used in the history of education for a long time. In the past, memorization was considered as an important method in schools and information was memorized with constant repetition within this concept. In today's educational approaches, memorization is regarded as useless and argued because it is not learning, yet it is the lowest level of the learning process. Memorization includes repeating information and keeping it in mind for a certain period of time. Later, this information is forgotten and all efforts are wasted in vain. There is no mental change in individuals through memorization. Conversely, it causes students to have mental and physical laziness, whereas learning includes understanding, thinking, integrating with prior knowledge, producing new information and applying it. With learning, the individual constantly improves and renews himself. Therefore, memorization is avoided. Although this issue is constantly debated among educators, it is known that students in the world and in our country still tend to memorize. Educators are expected to focus on qualified education and train individuals who will shape the future of our country.
