人にん間げんというのは、自じ分ぶんでわかっていることに関かんしては手て早ばやくポイントだけを取とり出だして相あい手てに教おしえて、たくさんの説せつ明めいをつい省しょう略りゃくしてしまいがちだ。そのせいで、教おそわる側そくが理り解かいしにくくなってしまうこともある。人ひとに教おしえる時ときには、自じ分ぶんが理り解かいした時じ点てんまで戻もどって丁てい寧ねいに相あい手てに伝つたえないと、うまく理り解かいしてもらえないのではないか。

また、そのプロセスの中なかで、教おそわる側そくが積極的せっきょくてきに質しつ問もんすることがとても重じゅう要ようだと思おもう。質しつ問もんをすれば、何なにを理り解かいしていないのか、何なにを誤ご解かいしているのかが、教おしえる側がわにとてもよくわかるからだ。それに、同おなじことでも繰くり返かえし説せつ明めいされることによって、理り解かいが深ふかまるケース（注1）も多おおい。

個こ人じん的てきには、一回いっかいだけの説せつ明めいで理り解かいしてもらえるケースというのは、実じつはとても少すくないのではないかと思おもっている。

また、すべてを教おしえるのではなく大だい部ぶ分ぶんを伝つたえ、最さい後ごの部ぶ分ぶんは自じ分ぶんで考かんがえて理り解かいさせるようにするのが、理り想そう的てきな教おしえ方かたではないかと考かんがえている。

一方的いっぽうてき入はいってきた知ち識しきは、一方的いっぽうてきに出でて行いきやすい。しかし、自じ分ぶんで体たい得とく（注2）したものは出でて行いきにくい。

小しょう学がく生せいに大だい学がくの講こう義ぎを聞きかせてもチンプンカンプンな（注3）ように、相あい手てのレベルに合あわせて、相あい手てが必ひつ要ようとしていることを教おしえなければ意い味みはない。それは、非ひ常じょうに微び妙みょうな調ちょう整せいを必ひつ要ようとする、ある種たねの職しょく人にん技わざだ。そんなところが、教おしえる側がわの大おおきなやり甲斐かいではないかと考かんがえている。

（羽は生ぶ善よし治はる「大たい局きょく観かん一いち自じ分ぶんと闘たたかって負まけない心こころ」による）

（注ちゅう1）ケース：場ば合あい

（注ちゅう2）体たい得とくする：身みにつける

（注ちゅう3）チンプンカンプンな：全すべてわからない
