Kwaye andizukuthetha oko kuphela ixesha elide, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo oko Elo xesha lisasazeka ngakumbi kubomi ngokwalo zomntu ochitha iiyure zakhe efunda zonke ezo ncwadi. Kufuneka ithathelwe ingqalelo ukuba ifundwe ukuze ixesha lisasazeke ngakumbi, kodwa kunjalo, ukufunda kuyanelisa kakhulu kuwo onke amanqanaba, njengoko uTyrionn Lannister ebanga kwelinye lamaxabiso akhe ahloniphekileyo: «Ingqondo ifuna iincwadi ezinje ngekrele lifuna ilitye elibukhali ukuba lifuna ukugcina ubukhali. Kungenxa yoko le nto ndifunde kakhulu, Jon Snow«.
Ngoku sinesifundo esisazisa ngale nto funda iincwadi ngaphezulu kweeyure ezintathu ngeveki usenze siphile ixesha elide. Abo bafunda iincwadi bahlala befa nge-17 leepesenti kunabo bangazifundiyo iincwadi, ngelixa abo bachitha ixesha elininzi befunda njengezinto zokuzonwabisa, bafumana nexesha elingakumbi lokuphila. Abafundi beencwadi bahlala beneminyaka emibini ubudala kunabo bangafane bafunde.
Olu lwazi luvela kwifayile ye- Isifundo seminyaka eli-12 eYale. Abaphandi bavavanye idatha evela kubantu abangama-3.635 ababebandakanyeka iminyaka emininzi kwisifundo sezempilo selizwe sabantu abadlulileyo kwiminyaka engama-50.
Ngokusekwe kwiimpendulo zakho kumbuzo: «Uchithe iiyure ezingaphi ufunda iincwadi?«, Abaphenduli bahlulwe baba ngamaqela amathathu. La maqela mathathu yayingabo babengazifundanga iincwadi, abanye befunda ngaphantsi kweeyure ezintathu ezinesiqingatha ngeveki, kunye nabo bafunda ngaphezulu kweeyure eziyi-3 ngeveki.
U-Becca Levy, uprofesa we-epidemiology kunye ne-psychology eYale, unala magama:
Abantu abadala, ngaphandle kwesini, impilo, imeko yezoqoqosho okanye imfundo, babonise inzuzo yokufunda iincwadi ekuhambeni kwexesha. Eminye imibuzo kufuneka iphendulwe. Siyazi ukuba iincwadi zokufunda kubandakanya iinkqubo ezimbini zokuqonda oko kunokunika ithuba lokusinda: ukucothisa, ukuntywiliselwa okunzulu kufuneka ukunxibelelana nomxholo, kunye nokukhuthaza uvelwano, ukuqonda ngokwasentlalweni kunye nobukrelekrele bemvakalelo.
Umntu kuya kufuneka azibuze ukuba kutheni abantwana bakhetha ukufunda iincwadi eziprintiweyo kwii-digital.
