Whether or not requiring faculty to spend time working outside the academic world in professions relevant to the courses they teach could improve the quality of instruction at college and university level involves considerations and analysis from subjects as well as students aspect, as discussed below.
First and foremost, one can not draw one simple answer to the issue from subjects due to the different aims and demands for varied subjects. In general, I concede that in most theoretical disciplines, it is unnecessary to require faculty to spend time working out; in most cases, it won’t achieve the goal of improving the quality of instruction, worse, sometimes it will go opposite. For one reason, theoretical disciplines subjects, such as anthropology or history, theoretical physics, are usually not directly connected to the society, though they might influence the development of the overall society. For that matter, the job offered for the faculty are not closely relevant to the subjects they teach, thus failing to apply the experience in class. For another reason, given that most of the faculties have their own academic researches which required much time and energy, if at the same time they spend time working out, it will more or less have a negative effect on their quality of instruction, opposite to our original purpose. A Chinese history professor Yizhongtian, might serve as a evidence. He should teach history for graduate students in Xiamen University yet spends much time giving lecture all around the China. Common sense informs us that orthodox history won’t attract many people, so the history stories he tells are interesting stories or legends imagined by people based on certain history. He earns a lot of money from the lecture yet his students find it easier to listen to his lesson on TV rather than in class. He has not time to teach his students real history as well as method of studying history, not to mention achieve his academic goal.
However, when it comes to the applied study subjects, I strongly agree with the speaker’s assertion. faculty in applied study subject are easy to find job related to their academic field and their experience working out can almost always acts as cases to their students. Let’s raise Human resources, an applied study subject for instance. As we all know, human resources is a subject mostly based on practice experiences, of which the theories will soon out of date if failing to keep step with the complexity and change of the society. Students majoring in this subjects are required to have internship each vacation. For that matter, a professor who also has job in a company can give student one-hand instruction and more fresh and real cases for them to discuss, not to mention they can provide internship opportunities for their students.
Finally, let us consider this issue from students’ aspect. It will almost always be beneficial for students to have some professors who work outside the academic world in professions relevant to the courses they teach. We can rule out the discussion about the applied study field for it is obvious under most circumstance; students would benefit from their professor’s working out. And for the theoretical field, given that most students won’t stay in academic world, on the contrary, they will spare no efforts to apply what they have learnt in society, a instructor who has a job in society can help students achieve the goal. By sharing the experience, they can guide the students with a more realistic future career design and help them avoid many anticipated problems. |
