ON TEACHING 聊匠 (不懂装懂) | |

I came away from my years of teaching on the college and university
level with a conviction that enactment performance,dramatization are the most successful forms of teaching.Students must be incorporated,made,so far as possible,an integral part of the learning process.The notion that learning should have in it an element of inspired play would seem to the greater part of the academic establishment merely silly,but that is nonetheless the case.Of Ezekiel Cheever,the most famous schoolmaster of the Massachusetts Bay Coliny,his one student Cotton Matter wrote that he so planned his lessons that his pupils"came to work as though they came to play,'and Alfred North Whitedead,almost three hundred years later,noted that a teacher should make his/her students"glad they were there." 我在大学教了多年的书，多年的教学经验使我深信，角色扮演和戏剧改编是教授知识

Since,we are told,80 to 90 percent of all instruction in the typical
university is by the lecture method,we should give close attention to this form of education.There is ,i think,much truth in Patricia Nelson Limerick's observation that "lecture is an unnatural act,an act for which God did not design humans.It is perfectly all right,now and then,for a human to be possessed by the urge to speak,and to speak while others remain silent.But to do this regularly,one hour and 15 minutes at a time...for one person to drag on while others sit in silence?...i do not believe that this is what the Creator designed humans to do." 有人说，在一些传统大学里由于80%到90%的教育是通过讲座的方式，所以我们应该关 注这种教育形式。我认为帕特丽夏.尼尔森. 利默尼里克说得对，讲座是一种不自然 的行为，上帝造人不是让他做讲座的。诚然，人都有一种想要说话的强烈愿望，一个 人说，别的人保持沉默，这在任何时候都没有什么不对。但老这样做，每次一个小时 零一刻。。。。。。一个人拖延着，其他人静坐着？。。。。。。我认为这不是造物 主让人们做的。 [Modified By 聊匠 On 2004-8-21 16:38:43] 假如现在种种皆是假装，我愿装到底，直到化成灰。 |
