Is it good to study because of genetic genes?

British scientists have just had a controversial finding that genes affect the examination results of much older children in the quality of the school or parenting and teaching efforts.

According to PLOS One magazine, researchers from King's College London (UK) conducted GCSE exam results, a 2-year middle school program designed for students aged 14-15 (similar equivalent to grade 10 high school in Vietnam), of 11,000 minors.

The team found that each child's genes, on average, generated 58% of the difference in test results in key subjects, namely English, math and science. Environmental factors such as schools, neighborhoods and families, are thought to have only 29% impact. Other factors, specific to each individual cause 113% of the remaining influence.

The analytical results also show that genetic characteristics seem to have a greater impact on the results of science subjects (58%) than the results of social studies (42%) as research. media, art or music.

Nicholas Shakeshaft, the head of the study, stated: "Children are always different in their ability to learn at school. Our research reveals, the difference in student achievement depends much on being natural. rather than the process of raising ".

However, Mr. Shakeshaft warned not to deduce that academic achievement is "predetermined by genes" . Instead, recognizing each child's innateness can help improve learning. The researcher also supports the "personalized" education program, which is concerned with the differences of children, instead of "level" education for everyone, ignoring genetic characteristics. .

His work Shakeshaft and his colleagues once again sparked a debate about the importance of innate versus nurturing and caring for people. Their conclusions also seem to support last month's speech that raised the public opinion of London Mayor Boris Johnson, that some people advanced to positions of power because they were naturally smarter than those other.

While controversy is not over, many teachers and politicians are concerned that a genetic approach to education may lead to less intelligent children being "left out". .
