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."
写作提纲:
1、在某些领域,比如实践科学,商学,金融学,法学等领域,教师的外出工作确实能够更好的提高教师的教学水平。
2、但是,在另外一些领域,比如一些基础学科,如同数学,物理学,教师的外出并不能帮助教师提高教学水平,这些学科的特点更适合教师在实验室中,进行研究,或者进行一些理论化的研究。
3、在一些艺术领域,教师的外出工作不但会对教师的教学工作有影响,而且可能会破坏教师相应的艺术修养与素质,使得教师无法更好的教育学生。
Should all faculty in college and university be required to spend time working outside the academic world in professions relevant to the courses they teach for the purpose of improving the quality of instruction. In my opinion, this issue should be determined on a case-by-case basis. It is true that the faculty in realm of engineering, business, finance and law can improve the quality of instruction by working outside; however, if other ones such as mathematics, physics and art professional work outside, it may hamper their teaching, even damage their academic ability.
It is helpful for university faculty who commits to engineering, business, finance and law to work outside for many reasons. Firstly, the students in these field needs not only professional knowledge but also how to put the knowledge into practice and use it to boost the development of society. The teachers working outside can get much precious practical experience and most useful skills, infuse them to their students. The students majoring in business or finance, for example, can know the newest and most useful method to handle with a financial crisis in social environment today, by the teaching of faculty who works out of school. Secondly, the faculty working outside can also bring some programs from companies outside to school for the student in relevant field to participate in, which greatly improves their practical capacity. For example, with the professors' direction, the students majoring in engineering can practice their ability by researching and producing a new machine for a firm, the students majoring in law can know how to plead better in court by analyzing a real case with the teacher.
However, it cannot be denied that the faculty in the field of some basic subjects such as mathematics, physics has no need to work outside which even delay their normal instructing to students. In such fields, the faculty can do their research just by some theoretical knowledge and certain equipments like computer without the practice outside the school. And what the students who major in mathematics and physics should get from their professors is merely how to explain some phenomenon with their professional knowledge and handle a difficult problem by building a mathematics model.
What is more, the professors specialized in art should not work outside for some companies as the pursuit for profits in commerce may destroy the development of the art which will mislead the values of their students. It is known that instead of appreciating the real values of art, the companies do only know what kind of art works is most popular and will bring the most profits. The teachers work for such company may destroy their own values of art and aesthetic. And if they impart their unfair views to students, the students will be greatly misleading that they cannot well know what is really beautiful and valuable.
To sum up, if the faculty in universities and colleges should work outside is a complex issue. And concerning the field of engineering, business, law and finance the answer may be yes; while, answer will be the opposite in the field of mathematics physics and art. |
