Issue50 "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."
Word:465 time:1:03
提纲:
1、对于传统的独立学科而言,学习到相关知识能够使学生更好的掌握完整的知识体系而不是割裂的片断,帮助学生更好的应用知识。
2、对于现代的边缘学科而言,教授一些边缘学科的教师更应该重视相关领域的知识的传授这样才有可能获得重大的科学发现。
3、当然这样的建议并不意味着相关领域都要很精通,那是不现实的,但要对与自己相联系的学科一定要有所了解。
I am totally agree that working outside the academic world in professions relevant to the courses they teach will improve the quality of instruction from general subjects to some special frontier subjects. It is a requirement of both the development of technology and science.
Traditional independent subject, which is separated thoroughly from others, usually only acquire the instructors to devote most of time to the subject, so that they can easily attain high level. It is a convention since Aristotle period, who had the integrity of the world into separate subjects like physics, philosophy, mathematics by some features to help people study each realm easily. Gradually, we forget all the subjects stem from the same origin--nature. It is hard for us to discover the beauty between numbers, the geometry in the painting and dancing of the animal, by the restrains made by ourselves. Did the instructors spend a little time and related courses, our view about the world will be different without doubt. We will see a world, in which everything is related to each other, depending on each other at least affecting each other, and in such case, we can use our knowledge more effectively.
Further more, the studying related courses is more important to the newly born frontier science. Taking neuropsychology as an example, it dose not only need knowledge about nervous system but also psychology, even some knowledge about physiology. None of them insufficient will lead to the low level of teaching. How can you image a situation that several instructors stand on the same podium to lecture a new subject. Obviously, studying broadly is basic requirement to the instructors in this field. In addition, if an old course need a reform, the easiest way is to study related courses and try to connect them together. So many research results have been discovered by this means.
Even though I assert that it is a necessity for the instructors to spend time on related courses, I do not mean that we have to devote many time to it. The course we teach is the root of the teaching, the related is the decorations. Were an instructor not in good command of the knowledge in the field, it is unbelievable for him to reach a high level in lecturing related courses. Therefore, the premise of studying related courses to promote the teaching level is a good master of the main course. In my view, studying some related courses is indispensable for a good lecturer, not needing very deep understanding, which is unrealistic, but at least some acquaintance.
In conclusion, I agree that the faculty need to a requirement to spend time to study related courses, which is really helpful for them to promote the levels, however, the extent and diversity still need careful concern.
提纲作业
issue214 "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."
1及早发现天才儿童可以有助于提供更适合的环境发挥它的才能,在某种程度上是由有利的。
2但是天才儿童不是说没有发现就会被埋没,所谓天才很大一部分原因就是他比一般人更容易成功。
3但是,对天才儿童过早开发很容易让他滋生其他的不健康的心理,自然的发展和适当的打击和挫折有时候更利于天才儿童的成员发展。
Issue153 "Students should bring a certain skepticism to whatever they study. They should question what they are taught instead of accepting it passively."
1教育的目的就是要教会学生如何思考,skepticism 是一个很基本的素质
2消极的接受知识智慧会让学生对他人产生依赖,失去创造性,批判性思维的能力。
3但是,对所有的知识都过度怀疑很容易成为怀疑主义者,拒绝接受新知识,这样也是不利于学生发展的,因此教育者应把握好怀疑的程度。
ISSUE80 "All students should be required to take courses in the sciences, even if they have no interest in science."
1、我们生活在一个充满科学技术的时代,缺乏science的基本知识无法生存。有必要让每一个人学习一些科学知识。
2、但是科学技术的程度没必要太高。既浪费时间又扼杀学生的活力。
3、对于science的学习不可以用强迫式的学习,应该以激发兴趣为主。
ISSUE191"Education should be equally devoted to enriching the personal lives of students and to training students to be productive workers."
1、教育的目的就是为了更好的生存,也就是说丰富个人的生活。
2、在工业社会中,生存的技能也很重要,而培养有效率的工人其实是为了训练学生的生存技能。
3、偏废任何一方都不利于一个人拥有高质量的生活。
