一道怪怪的目的类题
222"Learning for learning's sake is an outdated concept. Today, education must serve an ulterior purpose and be directed toward clear goals."
112"Some educational systems emphasize the development of students' capacity for reasoning and logical thinking, but students would benefit more from an education that also taught them to explore their own emotions."
1.教育对学生的目的(也可进入对社会的程度),人的生活,工作对不同科目的需要
2.逻辑与推理的重要性。(扯到理科方面)
3.情感教育的重要性。(扯到艺术,哲学,强调与人交往,自我保护,调节心里等)
4.提出解决办法。
5"A nation should require all its students to study the same national curriculum until they enter college rather than allow schools in different parts of the nation to determine which academic courses to offer."
34"Instead of requiring students to take courses in a variety of disciplines—that is, courses ranging from the arts and the humanities to the physical and biological sciences—colleges and universities should allow students to enroll only in those courses that will help prepare them for jobs in their chosen fields. Such concentration is necessary in today's increasingly work-oriented society."
80"All students should be required to take courses in the sciences, even if they have no interest in science."
94"Universities should require every student to take a variety of courses outside the student's field of study because acquiring knowledge of various academic disciplines is the best way to become truly educated."
下面两个特殊一点:
132"The university community consists of three different worlds—the sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences. Because each world operates on its own assumptions and has its own special habits of thinking, rarely is there meaningful interaction among the sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences."
不同意
1.承认三方面有很多不同。
2.然而三方面共同作用:不同的角度让一个问题变得完整和立体。各自的方法可以相互借鉴
3.三方面的交互对人的作用。
128"It is often asserted that the purpose of education is to free the mind and the spirit. In reality, however, formal education tends to restrain our minds and spirits rather than set them free."
此题虽然写的是目的,但我论述的方面是
不同意:
1.(借鉴内容方面科目的顺序)正规教育传受了必需的知识确保自由思考的高度和正确性及free在多个角度和领域,而不仅仅局限是没有用处fancy。
2.正规教育培养了必需的方法和能力,使得解放的思想思考的更有效,
3.尽管过度的课业和错误的教育方法抑制了这些能力,但可以由方法来解决,并不能因此以偏概全。
98"Colleges and universities should offer more courses on popular music, film, advertising, and television because contemporary culture has much greater relevance for students than do arts and literature of the past."
反对:
1.大部分流行文化太过浮躁,肤浅,只能流行一段,不值得研究
2.当时间选择了好的当代文化时,在研究也不迟
3.时间选择所留下的文化是经典,却值得借鉴(扯一些历史)
同意:
1.历史的文化虽经典,但脱离现实,可以适当学习而不必深究
2.当代文化更能体现当代社会的需求。
3.当代的速食文化往往能够在先进技术的帮助下瞬间引起广泛的传播,值得研究。
78"Schools should be required to teach the essential interconnectedness of all human beings and thus help eliminate wars, cultural clashes, and other forms of conflict."
但我觉得重点在于是否能eliminate wars, cultural clashes, and other forms of conflicts.
不同意:
1.学习人的共通性为增进彼此的了解,培养彼此得尊敬。
2.学习不同文明的区别也能了解不同,可以误会冲突。
3.然而战争的本质往往并不是由文化的差异引起,而是人类的贪婪本性,需要更多的是实力的均衡来减少以及消除战争。
67"Colleges should require students to engage in public-service activities in order to assure that each student receives a balanced, well-rounded education."
选择培养辨别是非的能力和勇气,就要鼓励去质疑既存的理论和事实。
52"Education encourages students to question and criticize, and therefore does little to promote social harmony."
153"Students should bring a certain skepticism to whatever they study. They should question what they are taught instead of accepting it passively."
213"Too much emphasis has been placed on the need for students to challenge the assertions of others. In fact, the ability to compromise and work with others—that is, the ability to achieve social harmony—should be a major goal in every school."
230"College students—and people in general—prefer to follow directions rather than make their own decisions. Therefore, colleges should eliminate as many choices as possible in order to offer students clear direction."
不同意:
1.教育的目的
2.跟随别人往往是由于选择太少而不是太多。或者就算是跟随一个趋势,其中可能具体的方面还是个人的选择。
3.即使懒于选择,教育跟应该培养勇气与能力去作出选择并且是正确的选择。
4.有时候,又学要掌握自主性选择与服从大趋势中做出平衡。
228"The best way to teach—whether as an educator, employer, or parent—is to praise positive actions and ignore negative ones."
不同意:
1.每个人都会有犯错和成功
2.应该在成功下适当表扬,错误下适当批评
3.忽略指出错误,就算是很少很细微,积累起来也会产生惊人的破坏,也更难改
4.要注意过度的害处
134"Students should be encouraged to realize that mental agility and rhetorical skill must be accompanied by sincerity and the true conviction of their own beliefs."
同意:
1.敏捷的智力和坚定的好的修辞技巧能获得一个好的印象。
2.信仰和真诚同时在后面才能取得真挚的交流。
3.现在教育的现状,需要加强
50"In order to improve the quality of instruction at the college and university level, all faculty should be required to spend time working outside the academic world in professions relevant to the courses they teach."
154"Both parents and communities must be involved in the local schools. Education is too important to leave solely to a group of professional educators."
同意:
1.教育的目的。人的生命分为三部分,学校,家庭,社会,三方面都无时无刻去他们接触,都应该负担起教育的责任。
2.家庭教授感情和为人,对个人性格的形成由莫大的作用,特别是小时候
3.社会约束人的行为,影响价值观,产生经验。
214"Society should identify those children who have special talents and abilities and begin training them at an early age so that they can eventually excel in their areas of ability. Otherwise, these talents are likely to remain undeveloped."
39"The intellectual benefits of attending a university or college are vastly overrated: most people could learn more by studying and reading on their own for four years than by pursuing a university or college degree."
232"The purpose of education should be to create an academic environment that is separate from the outside world. This kind of environment is ideal because it allows students to focus on important ideas without being held back by practical concerns."
223"Education is primarily a personal matter; it has little to do with school or college."
这题有些不同,可以分两节来论述,是不是个人问题广泛来看,要像是干系教育目的的问题,论述教育的概念,而后者则是学校的作用:
不同意:
1.教育不仅关系个人,更着眼整个社会(目的)
2.在教育过程中,学校也起着的重要作用。
3.对于的教育的改革,促进,更是需要整个社会的努力。
55"Competition for high grades seriously limits the quality of learning at all levels of education.
100"The pressure to achieve high grades in school seriously limits the quality of learning. An educational environment without grades would promote more genuine intellectual development."
32"A school or college should pay its teachers at the same rate in all disciplines, regardless of differences in salaries for related fields in the world outside of school. For example, entry-level teachers in mathematics and in the arts should receive the same pay, even if outside of school, math specialists earn a much higher salary on average than do specialists in the arts."
反对:
1.符合价值规律,抢手,热门的就要叫价高一些。
2.报酬应该按贡献与付出来定,而非仅仅是专业。
3.大锅饭的坏处,打击积极性,好的教员跳槽,降低学校质量。
正面:应该没有吧,有的话贴出来,让我见识一下
53"College and university education should be free for all students, fully financed by the government."
反对:
1.(教育的目的)
2.基于社会方面的考虑,政府的财政压力导致社会建设被搁浅,违反初衷。
3.基于学生的考虑,尽管贫穷的学生有困难,确实有天分的人可以得到政府的特别资助。而且若无学费压力和动力,一部分学生会不珍惜机会,荒废学业。
4. 可以提出解决办法:折衷)
to imong:你的例子很好
有一道怪怪的目的题我的想法不怎么好,没写上去,有的有一些也总觉得有待改善和补充,比如一道怪怪的目的类题
222"Learning for learning's sake is an outdated concept. Today, education must serve an ulterior purpose and be directed toward clear goals."

special thanks to imong
现在又有了点思路,learning for learning's sake应该包括享受学习的过程,知识积累的成就感和满足不断被激发的求知欲,也又通过学习本身塑造的人的思想,然而是否要对于社会,文化做些贡献则无要求。反过来,ulterior purposes则就是指这些贡献。你说的research我觉得是个不绝对分在哪一边的东西,既可以用来learn from it and enjoy from it,也可以做出贡献,并不一点要将learning限太死。辨析各自的好处,坏处,估计就可以用到我的目的雷和参与对象类的总结了
你举得如何咧。作者: feier521 时间: 2003-8-20 14:14:26
很好啊,你说的享受学习的过程这一点我倒是没想过
learning for learning我一直认为是死读书的体现,就好像小学生对社会人生没有什么认识,只知道每天要去上学,可以算是learning for learning作者: luckyqja 时间: 2003-8-20 21:47:15

(1)教育的作用可以分为对个人和对社会,对个人是: full development of growing personality;
同时,应该是对他进行实际的职业教育还是价值观的培养呢?我觉得应该是两面都要并重的,理由大家都会的。
对社会的话,就是社会需要各类的人才,每个岗位都要有专业人士,这个社会机器才会健康的运行。
(2)政府是通过formal education来传播他的价值观的,并且通过这种方式对人们进行思想上的教育。同时也不只是通过教育,还包括
社会媒体的censorship,政府的政策,以及法律和道德来控制人民的思想。例子,可以举德国希特勒时期他通过教育教化小孩子犹太人都是劣等民族,或者是东北沦陷时期儿童都被教化成他们是满洲国的子民,没有中国人和日本人之分。
Convinced of the importance of education, government invest in the institutions of learning to get the interest in the form of a group of enlightened men and women who are potential leaders. 新概念4上的。
