South Korean Teachers: What Can We Learn from Them?

The education approach in South Korea is very different from the one in Finland. While Finland gives their students a lot of freedom in learning, South Korea emphasizes on intense schooling.

Let’s see the approaches South Korean teachers take in teaching and learning.

Get parents involved	Teachers and parents in South Korea maintain a positive relationship. Teachers often update their students’ parents on their kids’ performance and what they are learning in order to keep the parents engaged.
Use technology	Technology, such as computers, the internet, LCD screens and smart boards, is compulsory in all classrooms. Besides aiding in the teaching process, technology enables the sharing of more knowledge and tailoring the lessons to the students’ learning style. In fact, technology helps students to learn faster and develop deeper foundation skills.
Do their best every day	South Korean teachers go extra mile and perform better than expected. They are so committed to do their best every moment.
Inspire their students to do their best	With committed teachers, students will feel inspired and highly motivated to give their best too.
Always be willing to learn	South Korean teachers often go for courses on education and teaching. They are willing to impose new teaching techniques and try their best to keep their teaching fresh and interesting.
