The most educative experience that I have ever had was during summer studying camp at ТюмГУ. During five days we had lectures on current topics with mentors from university, we were taught different practical techniques that could help us during our further education path and at the end we choose a case and made an individual presentation.

I can relate this experience to the text “Experience and education” I consider that the experience and advice which I got in this camp is still help me not only in education but also at work and in my social life.

The most miseducative experience that I have ever had was during preparation to my final exams in school. This require me to cramming a lot (sometimes i didn’t really understand what I was memorising) and think “in pattern” (some ideas that we had to write wasn’t our actual opinion).

I can relate this example to the text “Our schools must teach us how to think” because the experience I had was absolutely opposite to the idea of the text.

My education experience was quite difficult. The excellent student syndrome has been bothering me since elementary school. I always wanted to get excellent grades and at the end a gold medal. Therefore, all years of education I had to study hard and meet the status of an “excellent student”. I was constantly doing my homework and learning all the material, and in ny free time(which was very little), I went for a walk with my friends. But unfortunately, most of subjects at school had to be taken according to a certain “template” in order to get a good grade. This has both advantages and disadvantages: since there is no need to study such a subject to hard it simplifies your study at school, but because of this, students don’t receive proper knowledge and in the future don’t know the school subject at all. But these are the realities of traditional education and there is nothing we can do about it. The most important thing is that in the end I achieved my goals - I graduated from school with a red diploma and received a gold medal :)

My Kazakh classes during all 11 years of school were completely miseducative.

Just against the Ilyenkov's theory, our lessons were focused on cramming. What os worse, cramming was useless, as we were learning 20-30 words for each lesson, but never used them due to their complexity and not matching the topics.

Also, it appears that some aspects of my lessons can be described by Dewey's view on traditional education. Our only source of knowledge was textbook and most of the classes can be described just in one phrase:
"- What were you doing on kazakh today?
- oh, we were quetly sitting and reading a complex text and then translating it"
Unfortunately, other texts don't really connect with my experience, but I have one that corresponds to two mentioned authors.
It was my history course in 11th grade. That year we had new teacher and our programm has dramatically changed. We had a lot of practical work and philosophical speeches, we gained many speaking skills and now I know how to do nice presentations. Moreover, our lessons were mostly made of questions that were asked not only by teacher, but also us.

My educational experience has been going on for 9 years, because I tried to get an education from another university before. According toSAS, I have also completed more than all academic courses. I am particularly pleased with the way theoretical and practical disciplines are combined in my curriculum. I can associate philosophical studies with making movies, or the principles of studying human evolution with AI technologies. Expanding the boundaries allows me to look at things from different angles, explore the point of view in more detail, and not be afraid of my own thoughts. I used to think that higher education was not for everyone (certainly not for me). Now I believe that the university is able to change the perception of life.

Most of my school experience was miseducative. School programme required me to write a lot and simply memorize the given material without providing much knowledge about its structure. This kind of approach to education was really boring to me.

Looking at my school experience through "The very idea of university", I can say that there was no unity of understanding at all. All of the disciplines were disconnected and set apart from each other which didn't give me an opportunity to view on subject from the point of another. Talking about it in terms of Dewey's "Experience and education", school mostly didn't give me a possibility to learn through my experienceass the program was based on given formulas and cliches. Like in a general example of a school in "Our schools must teach how to think" by Ilyenkov, educational system forced me to memorize tons of information that wasn't interesting to me because I didn't get to understand the way this knowledge was articulated.

At SAS I thought about the elements of happiness for the first time. It was Ahmed's lecture and I liked the idea that happiness requires suffering for it. Actually, it's an every day life thing. Through many billions years humanity have been trying to find the meaning of happiness, how they could reach it. After this lecture I understood that happiness is what we makes ourselves. For me happiness is emotions. I'm sure that they are magic that inside us. It's impossible for me to believe that different people and situations make us feel like another way. It's gift from life. And for me this is happiness

Well, my first nine years of education at school were more like traditional for all russian pupils type of experience. This school seemed like the discription of traditional education from ‘Experience and education’. We were studying through old students books, the teacher was an absolute authority and we could not have any opinion that is different from his\her.

This experience also reminds me of some thoughts from ‘Our schools must teach us how to think!’ The author of the text says that endless repetition and ‘ cramming ’ of information in ourselves is a wrong method of education. And that’s exactly what we were expected to do in that school. Such method doesn’t let us think independently and pose our own questions. It is also not the best way for developing intelligence and memory.

The same was ЕГЭ preparation in 10-11 classes. We could not be ourselves, for example, in English exam, where we needed to follow a particular шаблон and nothing more. No personal style, no individuality.

After that experience the method of education in SAS was completely new to me. It seems like ‘School of Athens’ in some way. We are welcomed to express our opinion and study through personal experience. I enjoy it but sometimes it can be hard to change familiar habits and stop being attached to a шаблон.

When I was preparing for the RNE, my Russian language teacher taught us how to write essays and it was really interesting and helpful. At first She highlighted something than pointed something and always asked us questions like What does this mean? Why did author use it? And others. Thanks to this questions we easily found the main idea of the text. Later she highlighted less and stopped asking questions and we did it by ourselves. Afterwards we understood how to analyse the text by ourselves. I am very grateful to her, because she has improved my skills in analysis texts.

According to Ilyenkov, she is a good teacher, because she doesn’t impose her knowledge to our minds but she teaches how to think and what we need to see, but the final decision we did by ourselves

Also, talking about “Experience and education” , she also is a good teacher because she forced us to have our own experience because she just guided our thoughts to the right direction

My education experience has undergone quite diverse changes and whatnot:

1) Regarding the experience, according to Dewey’s concept, I got some positive and negative ones. The negative one was when I was really fond of football at the 6th and the 7th grade. I felt like really exhausted and unable to concentrate on mundane chores and activities. That did hinder me in studying. The positive one was when I was into English linguistics (that was like 1 or 2 years ago). That interest of yore and reality did help me to pass my individual project and to boost my English level.

2) According to Newman’s university idea, my last school and my current university do not live up to concept expectations because the church had already lost its power and influence thus it is not be able to impose theology studying as the main discipline.

3) When it comes to Ilyenkov’s concept of righteous thinking learning at school, the school of mine was not worth even a jot of all the features described in philosopher’s article. The reason is school had never granted us possibility to think properly. That was at the whole schooltime period when just the answers prepared before were given to children. That is attributed to 1st grade, as well as to the ЕГЭ preparation at the 11th one.

I had great experience with my teacher of Literature and Russian Language in school. She always tried to raise our interest in subject. Marks of course was important part of education, but for her it was way more important to think, analyse and express your feelings and thoughts about certain books. She thought that education is a necessary part of our life. The most terrifying thing for her was the fact that our class show no interest in the beginning and her task was to kill that cynic man in us. I think if someone can raise your interest to learn something, that’s the way to educate. Education must be enjoyable.

When I think about my school, my 1st thought is about my literature teacher and my teacher of social studies. They aren’t only good pedagogues but also people who are enjoy their work. Because of them, I was interested in these subjects(but I’m still not a big fan of social studies) as they always told us something more than just a plan of the educational program. Me and my classmates, we could freely discuss various topics during our classes. Moreover, I’m happy that our teachers made tasks that we couldn’t find on the Internet as it developed our critical thinking and independence.

In my opinion, my experience is related to the text by Ilyenkov. The author thinks that schools must teach students how to think freely and critically; and, I believe, my school taught me it.

Preparation for ЕГЭ exams for the subject обществознание

That was just one big challenge where you needed to try to remember as much as u can the bunch useless definitions from all spheres of your life.

Ilienkov would not allow this happen. That was one huge unnecessary suffering. There was very little where you needed to actually use your thinking. No room for questioning the given information, that painful experience did not make me wiser or more virtuous person. Till these days I know that the only reason i was a part of that enterprise is just to get to the university.

When I was at preliminary school I was forced to formally memorize everything I was thaught, despite the fact that that was uninteresting for me. Additionally, we were forces to do our hw after classes in order to go home. When I changed the school and went to 5th grade I felt a lot of freedom as I was not under much control. So i've stopped doing any homework and stopped listening anything on lessons, except some of them. That experience is related to the text "Experience and Education" as it recalls the situation when young people lose any interest in learning after such a crumbling experience. Also, it recalls the situation from the text "Our schools must teach us how to think" as such a way of education crumbles youth own mind. Based on personal experience.

Well, I don't really have an exact experience that fits in these categories but this is the closest I can think of.

So, in 2018 I went to take 3D modeling classes in my hometown in Pakistan, and the teacher that was supposed to teach us 3D modeling, had no clear idea of what he was going to teach us.

He knew how to use the software a little bit but he had no clue where to begin and how to teach.

So, I started watching tutorials on YouTube according to the topics in our syllabus and a few weeks later, I was the one teaching other students and the teacher used to just sit in the class and watch me teach.

I know it's hard to believe but that was the case.

For reference, I used to teach Autodesk Maya, Adobe after effects and Adobe illustrator.

I even made an animation video in our final project.

I can't exactly call it an uneducative experience but it was definitely not how it was supposed to be.
