Why Debating Skills are Essential to Have
Debates improve critical thinking and problem-solving skills in students. It involves research for the content, developing opinions supported by strong facts and arguments regarding a topic, where students effectively learn to put forth their ideas. Planetspark’s courses that align with the current world’s needs prepare learners for a better future by making them equipped in various fields. Let’s now take a look at the benefits of debates in a child.
Intellectual development
A debate is a formal argument about a specific topic between two teams. When children are exposed to the debating environment at a young age, they gain mental maturity. The journey from preparing for the debate to presenting your arguments in front of a live audience increases mental awareness and confidence in a child. Thus, we prepare every learner to present their arguments in an effective way.
Enhances research skills
While preparing the content for the debate, it is important to research your topic thoroughly. If you are not ready with well-researched material, your arguments will most likely be weak in front of the opposite team. Debates also enhance research skills in children. Many children who have attended Planetspark have witnessed a boost in their research abilities when they participated in a debate. The instructors support students when they take the first step in debate learning.

Develops problem-solving skills
Debate prepares you to present your arguments effectively and enhances your problem-solving skills. Students are able to express themselves in front of an audience and tackle various critical thinking problems. Debating also makes you great at responding to novel situations effectively. Our debate learning for kids comes with many cognitive benefits to prepare children to deal with every situation positively.
Increases emotional intelligence
Debate demands valid and fact-based arguments. While in a debate, one faces many situations when the opposing team is trying to create pressure, where one needs to stay calm to present the arguments effectively. Getting overpowered by our emotions is not a great thing to do while in a debate. You won't be able to stay clear-headed and might become responsible for the defeat of the whole team. This is why the experience of a debate teaches students to use their emotions in the best way to convey their speech.
Academic and professional excellence
The experience of a debate makes children intellectual and broadens their perspective. Children start building their opinions on several important issues and topics based on facts. In addition to enhancing their academic performance as it gets easy for them to understand complex concepts, this whole experience is a great way of preparing for their career successfully. Debate enhances the spectrum of knowledge to help kids generate smart ideas and put them forward confidently. Attending a course for kids at Planetspark helps you experience great intellectual growth in terms of your debating skills.
Boosts confidence
The most important benefit of enhancing the debating skills is the boost in confidence experienced by the students. Debate gives you the power and confidence to express your opinions effectively in front of an audience. When you have prepared your content with thorough research, you feel confident presenting it in front of people. At Planetspark, we have many activities for individuals and groups to increase their confidence while they prepare for a debate.
