Therefore, embracing the enforcement of our High School learners&#8217; right to choose their teachers, I decided to go further and grant the right of choice to my sixth grade learners too. I introduced them two courses: History and Children&#8217;s History in the Context of the World History. The learners made their choice after having discussed it with their parents and friends. I also suggested that they should justify their choice in written form. Here are some of their justifications:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; Mkrtchyan Elen: &#8220;I have chosen&nbsp;<em>Children&#8217;s World History&nbsp;<\/em>because interesting research work, educational trips and a possibility to enrich my knowledge are included in this course.&#8221; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Khachatryan Arshil:&#8221;I studied the two courses and chose&nbsp;<em>Children&#8217;s World History&nbsp;<\/em>because, first of all, I am a child. Unlike the&nbsp;<em>History<\/em>&nbsp;course here the system of assessment is clear and precise. The score is even mentioned in percents. I have also noticed that educational trips are intended for all the year round. It is also more interesting.&#8221; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gharibyan Davit: &#8220;I have chosen&nbsp;<em>Children&#8217;s World History&nbsp;<\/em>because it is interesting for me to lear how children in Egypt, France and other countries were brought up. I want to learn how they were brought up in Stone Age and what they were engaged in. I want to find out what they drew on the cave walls with as they didn&#8217;t have necessary tools. I also want to find out some other things, therefore, I I have chosen Children&#8217;s World History.&#8221; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harutyunyan Davit: &#8220;I have chosen&nbsp;<em>Children&#8217;s World History&nbsp;<\/em>because I have always wanted to find out what children did, what they were busy with several thousand years ago.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vardumyan Nane: &#8220;I have chosen&nbsp;<em>Children&#8217;s World History&nbsp;<\/em>because it interests me more. I want to study the history of my peers.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avagyan Astghik: &#8220;First of all, children&#8217;s life in ancient times sounds interesting. I wonder what games they played, how they lived. I wonder if children made friends with one another. What did they learn from their parents? What did they do in their spare time, and finally, how did they live?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shahnazaryan Davit: &#8220;I have chosen&nbsp;<em>History&nbsp;<\/em>because it is interesting for me to know how people lived and how developed they were, what wars and battles took place in different countries.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aghabekyan Gor: &#8220;I have chosen&nbsp;<em>History&nbsp;<\/em>because I want to lfind earn more things about people. I also want to learn about dinosaurs, pyramids, Gods and the Universe.&#8221; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michaeli Mark: &#8220;I am choosing&nbsp;<em>Children&#8217;s World History&nbsp;<\/em>because I like educational projects and going on educational trips. I also wonder what children did in ancient times.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hairiyan Sergey: &#8220;I looked through the two courses. One of them is&nbsp;<em>History&nbsp;<\/em>and the other is&nbsp;<em>Children&#8217;s World History.&nbsp;<\/em>I chose&nbsp;<em>History.&nbsp;<\/em>I agree that Cildren&#8217;s World History is more interesting but it is aonly about children, whereas, studying History we pay attention to everything. Everybody tells me that&nbsp;<em>Children&#8217;s World History&nbsp;<\/em>is easier, but actually there isn&#8221;t anything difficult or easy. It depends on whether you want to study it or not.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0As an unknown philosopher said: &#8220;Man enjoys freedom, if he is the slave of his chosen course.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><strong><em>Translator: Yura Ganjalyan<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The start of an experiment &nbsp;Increasing areas of the right of choice application fosters the rise of man&#8217;s and particularly learner&#8217;s self-estimation and consolidation of his\/her willingness to collaborate.
