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."
提纲:
有保留的反对
(1) 参加学术领域之外的活动与专业相关的活动确实能提高教师的教学水平
(2) 不是参加了就能提高学校的教育水平,因为教育不单包括学术上的东西.
(3) 也不是所有教师都应该要求参加,要考虑不同的学科和教师的时间经历
结论:大学的教学水平体现在各个方面,要求去参加只是一个方面。
WORD:603 No time limited(要限制时间了~~:vomit: )
In this topic, the author put forward to a suggestion that college should require the faculty to spend time working outside the academic world in professions relevant to the courses they teach. I agree insofar as it has some positive effects. However, the suggestion is indefensible because it does not take into account the various aspects of quality of instruction and the negative effects of working outside the academic world. In order to make a good suggestion, we should take all things into consideration.
College or university is regarded as the place where the students can broaden and deepen their knowledge in a range of subjects. And the function of teacher is to help students learn by imparting knowledge to them and by setting up a situation in which students can and will learn effectively. No doubt, enhancing the professional level of all faculties is a short-cut to improve the one of college, and working outside the academic world is a good way for faculty to enhance the professional level. In fact, in some realms, such as clinic medicine, all faculties are working outside the academic world, for their regular works are doctors. The medical faculties, also doctors, are the people who must see the patient in clinic, and who must teach their students in classroom. In large extent, what they teach are the experiences they got from the regular work, and the experiences are what the students mostly need. Without their regular work—the work outside the academic world, their knowledge will be in vacuum. True, for faculties, working outside the academic world can help them enhance professional level.
However, others must be noticed when we note the positive effects from faculties working outside the academic world. Firstly, professional level is not reprentative for the whole quality of instruction at the college and university level. In modern time, the purpose of education is not only to enhance knowledge but also to make the students socialize. People lay less press on “facts and figures” and more on the good memory, on the applied psychology and on the capacity of a man to get along with their fellowship citizens. Obviously, these capacities of student are the other marks of the level of college and university, which cannot be improved only by faculties working outside the academic world.
Secondly, the suggestion made by the author obviously is ill-consideration, for he suggests that all faculties should be required. The primary duty for a faculty is to teach the students, so any working outside the academic world should not affect the primary one. On one side, no all the realms—such as some pure academic fields, theoretical physics and physiology—need this work outside the academic world. The work outside the academic world have no positive effects at all, opposing it will distracting their attention and draining their vigor. On the other side, even if in some realms, there is need to spend time working outside the academic world, like Finance, Accountant and etc, the time, vigor and physical energy of faculty must be considered. If they devote excessive time and vigor to the work outside the academic world, it is bound to effect their academic research and instruction.
In conclusion, the quality of instruction at the college and university level is embodied for various aspects, only the enhancement of professional level cannot improve the instruction level of college, also nor will the way to require faculty to work outside the academic enhance the professional level. In order to improve the instructional level, the college should pay more attention to the full development of students and faculties. |
