www.caspot.com brings you the exclusive post of How Much We Are Doing Good By Taking CA/CS Tuitions?
I will try to keep this article very short and crisp. Being a CA student, this thought comes to my mind several times that “Are we are doing good to ourselves by taking coachings?”.
This is not some extra-ordinary question and I am sure that many of you
also must have thought about this sometime during your CA course.
Apart from my various pros viz. savings in
time, better understanding of concepts, building confidence, exams
oriented studies etc. and various cons like time wastage in commutation,
spoon feeding, total dependence on teachers, huge costs involved etc.,
my analysis is totally based on a single factor which is “Transfer of Knowledge”.
Recently I came across a teacher in CA
Final who distributes the notes which he made in his time (when he was
CA student) to the students for quick revision of the subject. While
distributing these notes, the teacher himself claims that it took him
lot of time in making those notes which students can now go through in a
very short time period. Though I sincerely feel that such type of notes
are really helpful from examination point of view but at the same time
it has forced me to think once again that “Are we are doing good to ourselves by taking coachings?” So, my analysis in this regard goes like this.
This is how the transfer of knowledge is typically taking place:
The first person who is studying on his
own (P1) is guide for himself. He has to segregate the relevant part and
irrelevant part from whatever he studies on the basis of his judgment.
This exercise of segregation takes a lot of time but is not futile all
together as P1 here learns various things which enabled him to form an
opinion about usefulness of information.
At the next stage (P2 taking coaching from
P1), P1 is transferring only the relevant part to P1 (which he decided
on his own personal opinion) which saves a lot of time for P2. But in
this exercise, the leftover part has not been transferred to P2 and also
P2 is not aware about the reasoning for classification. Further, he
cannot be totally sure that all the relevant part has got covered as the
leftover part may also be containing something useful which P1 missed
out.
This process keeps on continuing (from P2
to P3 and so on) and every time the information/ knowledge transferred
to the next level is definitely lesser than what the preceding person
possessed.
I want to represent this situation by way of my favorite diagram which goes like this:
Explanation to Diagram 2
As can be seen from this, at each stage,
our knowledge domain is getting smaller and I am afraid that what we are
going to pass on to our next level is not really that big and what we
are getting is also not the complete packet.
P.S.
1) I am not against coaching classes, I am
myself taking classes for CA final but I really respect those who are
studying without the help of coaching classes or those who have not made
themselves totally dependent upon coaching classes.
2) @the teacher whom I referred above, I
think that he is really doing a great job and we students are really
happy and satisfied with him. He has just motivated me to write this
article which I was procrastinating since long.
3) Agar samajh na aaye to bhi no prob as "Main dil me aata hoon, samajh me nahi!!) ;)
