Some people think university professors should spend more time doing research while others think they should spend more time educating students. What is your view?
思路:应该花更多的时间在教学生上
1、学生是教育的主体,可以提高学生的水平,有助于未来发展
2、可以提升大学的质量,间接促进教授科研
3、让步一段,虽然科研很重要,但是作为老师,更多时间应该花在学生身上
正文:
Professors, as an essential element in the structure of a university, are very important not only from the aspect of students' progress, but also from that of a university’s development. Considering professors' great role played in the education system, some people hold that they should spend more time to educate students rather than to do research. Personally, I basically agree with this statement given the reasons below.
The main body of education system is always students; in other words, it is their improvement and future that we care about most. Professors as educators are responsible for students who are eager to acquire necessary knowledge. Do they have office hours to answer questions for students? Are they always conscientious about execute homework and never skip classes? I believe it is professors’ duty to things above, thus professors equip students with more specific skills and broaden their horizons, which may eventually benefit students in their future careers. And if professors don’t spend more time on educating students, they will be ignored to some extend and it will be detrimental to their higher education.
Besides, by spending more time to instruct students, professors make it possible for the university to improve its quality of teaching as well as academic level. With the improvement of students' specialized skills in a university, I am convinced that this university’s enrollment will greatly increase, which will greatly enhance the whole construction of the university. Furthermore, education also includes training in experiments and research methods. Students today not only learn basic knowledge of certain disciplines, but also help do some researches with their mentors in the laboratories. Once professors spend more time to educate them, they together with professors, motivated by the power of creation, are able to achieve greater progress in certain projects and researches. This pattern will in the end become a positive cycle for both professors and students.
Admittedly, it is definitely very important for professors to spend enough time to do research for the reason that they also face pressure from their colleagues and the corresponding industry. Very understandable is that they would like to seek success in their fields with well-established theory. Doing research has already occupied a large amount of their time, which still probably leaves no time for excellent papers, let alone students’ education. Nevertheless, we can't conclude that they should spend more time on researches in that it is long-term profits that we should consider comprehensively. Spending more time on directing students is not only professors’ duty as being educators but also a method to improve them.
To sum up, taking into account the aspects above, I strongly recommend that university professors should spend more time educating students rather than doing research, which is more conductive in many facets.
