THE ANOTHER CLASSROOM
Experiencing in teaching for over
10 years, Wichian Chaiyabang told us that the best education
is not learning by rote approach but the holistic one that
not force students to memorize things or tell them in
advance on how things should be. In other words, holistic
education is the one that allow students to look towards
things in different perspectives, let them discuss the
subject, and learn from the process naturally. These will
lead to the real understanding and equip them with the
practical learning process they can apply in lives.
For over 8 years that Mr. Wichian
has been a headmaster of Lamplaimat Pattana School, he has
strictly applied the holistic educational system to the
school and his effort had turned the school’s disadvantages
of being in remote area into the outstanding one that
has been the model for other schools.
“This school aim to build up a
model school for the future education.” Wichian told us.
“It operates under the government school’s condition but
with different assessment approaches. We aim high for the
better result and have many approaches to develop our
teachers, students, and parents that allow them to learn
together along the process. We want to let other schools
know that all these are possible under limited operation
cost.” He added.
“My school let the teachers
hone through the trial-and-error process to learn by
themselves. I don’t want them to teach from other people’s
knowledge, our teachers teach from their own knowledge. We
also don’t force students to learn from the schedule. They
are allowed to choose the topic of each semester. It is
better to let them learn things they eager to learn. From
the subject they choose, for example – water, we can expand
the topic into other areas such as Economics, plant, blood
cell, or mathematics. “He explained.
