Different people have different explanations about the meaningful experience of learning, in my word meaningful learning experience is a process from which you can learn real-life experience and knowledge, it could be about anything. In my experience of the last five years, I had experienced a couple of meaningful learning processes, but I want to discuss one is class discussion. Classroom discussion is a practice in which teachers and students exchange perspectives on a particular subject previously lectured. Typically, the teacher would first teach for a certain period of time during classroom discussions. The teacher asks students questions after the lecture ends, requiring them to respond with specific examples and focus on their understanding of the subject. Class discussion about a specific topic allows students to share the knowledge about that topic and it also allows students to relate in their daily life. One person can’t have all the knowledge about a topic, different people have different points of view and when we sum all the points of view and everyone’s opinion it will be easier to understand that topic. I finished my high school in Bangladesh, over there most of the teachers aren’t allowed to do class discussion. Most of the teachers rush in finishing their syllabus, which limits the opportunity for class discussion. but here in the USA almost every teacher/professor tries to practice class discussion in their classes. This is my third semester in city tech. Almost all the professors do class discussions after their lectures, which I love because it helps me to understand the class topic and it’s also helpful to finish the homework because homework is given based on class lectures. I also think that Lectures paired with discussions will help sustain the concentration of learners. Students get different viewpoints on the subject as they explore their responses. Good questions and responses will help students think deeply and make connections with each other.
