Undoubtedly one of the most important aspects as an educator is to awaken the interest in learning of all the people who decide to listen to us, students will always be a moldable mass and that is why we must be ready to go in search of activating their interest in any type of learning useful for their development or development as human beings in any society in the world.
The diversity of thought, in general, leads us to the diversification of teaching methods, although we usually first seek to channel them all along the same path, however, over the years our experience has shown us the signs to follow regarding the diversification of teaching strategies, those that make the student feel more identified at the time of wanting to acquire a particular knowledge.
This is why the above-mentioned question is so important, i.e.:
Is a balance necessary between delivering all programmatic content and student understanding?
The above question will always be a challenge for an educator, however, experience will give us the necessary tools to balance the answer to this question, a concern that all educators have in our journey through the field of education, in many occasions, we ask ourselves questions such as:
What is more important to provide all the programmatic content or to go as far as the student's learning pace will allow?
Everything will depend on what we can interpret about the ways of learning of each one of them, which in the best of cases can be in the form of a block, that is, there will be students who may show interest in learning by a certain method and others by a different one, but, in blocks, this will allow us to carry out or apply different methods, but not so diverse.
When we manage to awaken the interest of our students in learning something specific, then, we are saving a lot of time in their learning process, this is because their mind will be willing or open to any absorption of information for their own interest and not for the interest of the teacher or the educational field, making them see that all teaching leaves its juicy fruits of wisdom for life.
One of the lessons that we can offer to any group of students is that we learn everything from our environment, our external world or universe always shows us that everything that occurs naturally within it is balanced, that is why balance is an intrinsic part of our existence and that when we fail to balance any of our actions, then, it will be difficult for us to achieve any goal set, and this at any level of our existence, such as education.
Therefore, in the field of education, balance is the best teaching method that we can apply and teach our young people, and for sure our balanced universe will thank us and especially the future generations.
Until another opportunity my dear friends.
