Two ways of training

Mr. M shared this morning there were two ways of training he learnt.

One is called "Parrot Picking tongues" 鸚武學舌That means you just pass on what you learnt and there's no more. That's a transferabilty way of learning and passing on mode of learning and training. Sometimes HK education is more or less such kind of teaching and learnings. There's of course advantage too of this kind of learning when the trained have no basics and have to master first the info needed for further progress. There's the disadvantage of sort of mechanical and robot type of input without one's initiatives and creativities.

Another one is called "Sophisticated In Simple out ". 深入淺出 That's a more holistic and intuitive way of learning and training. That's also called a digested way of mastering something and put it forth in a simple way for teachings. 深入淺出 is what we all want in our learnings and understandings.

Mr. Ma agreed that he's right now learning how to use the second way of training. It can be a hot topic for continual discussion on whether the ongoing trainings should more be a parrot type or better the 2S type.

Personally I prefer a mixed type instead of relying on either type. The parrot type is needed most of the time to teach the beginners and the second type is much better for those who are already starters and need more guidance instead of information.

For China churches today I think it's a gradual change from parrot type training towards more creative type of trainings.
