Education Expository Essay

Expository Essay: In this type of essay, the role of the writer is to inform. The essay tries to explain a situation or happening in a vivid and clear manner. For example, if you were to write an essay on how to become an effective orator, you would be writing an expository essay. Generally, an essay which strives to explain, whether scientific, or cooking, or a How to series would be an expository essay. My expository essay topic is on education after careful consideration I choose this topic because I really believe that a good quality education is the way to help inshore a chance to a good future. In this expository essay will be focusing on the importance of college education. Theses statement: In todays changing world earning college degree is one of the keys to helping inshore good career opportunities and a successful life. Now more than ever a high school education is no longer enough: The United states is changing it is not as labor driven as it use to be, now its all about corporate America and technology computers etc as a result college education as become so much more important to unlocking the into the corporate world. But thats not all the cost of living as change as well and jobs that require a person to only have a high school education or less are at the point where you can cover your monthly expense such as paying your rent or the mortgage if you are buying home and keep up with the utilitys bills and for people who have children that require daycare trying to cover the cost of all of these monthly bills on a limited salary can be extremely difficult not to mention some of the other unexpected things that come up from time to time.

Better earning potential with college degree: A person with a college degree as a much better chance to earn more money than someone only as a high school education or G.E.D. (According to the U.S. Census Bureau 2004) adults eighteen and older with a bachelors degree earned an average of 51,554 in 2004, while those with a high school diploma earned 28,645 and those without a school diploma earned even less with only 19,169 but people with an advanced degree such as a masters earned 78,093. The numbers clearly show that people with a college degree made more money; these numbers also show that the higher up in education someones get the money you can earn. What this means is that the more money you make it lets... The term innovative education has been presented to scientific community by American pedagogue James Botkin about twenty years ago and received numerous and rather controversial response, for it suggested complete and irreversible revision of the principles traditional educational theories consider to be axiomatic. To begin with, while traditional education considers the main value of educational process to be the knowledge transferred to the student, Botkins innovative education presents the knowledge as a means rather than an end, at the same time orienting at the development of the students personality through knowledge. It is less concerned with controlling the educational process, trying to create circumstances in which the student would establish his or her own goals and achieve them, while transforming his or her own self and self-regulating the studying process. Traditional education represents in itself more or less stable structure, without undergoing dramatic differences in the course of years. The accumulation of knowledge goes on, of course, but only in the subjects where it is impossible to avoid, for example, history and literature, which are being expanded all the time. Curriculum for exact sciences, like physics or mathematics may not change for decades. Botkin offers another decision, which presupposes that educational system is dynamic, ever-changing structure that is being regrouped and renewed constantly, with new programs and educational disciplines appearing all the time. As opposed to reproductive nature of traditional education (the student perceives information and reproduces it), innovative education is supposed to be only and specifically creative process. It should teach students to create text irrespectively of its subject, understand information even if it has never been perceived by the student yet, solve any problems by means of independent thinking rather than applying pre-existing, memorized solutions.

It also cancels the long-lasting tradition of relationship teacher-student as superior-inferior, making both the teacher and the student equal participants of educational process, who work on one and the same task in cooperation, rather than submission. Any kind of outside control is supposed to be harmful for the process and, therefore, abolished, with its place taken by selfcontrol, mutual control and coordination. Of course, the self-sufficient system of education based on equality of teacher and student may look really alluring, but all the same, it is more of a utopia than reality. Botkin idealizes children and thinks that it is possible to create such system; reality would most likely say no.
