Instructive Teaching: A Dilemma for Anxious Parents

指令式教学：焦虑父母的两难困境

The weather in Texas may have cooled since the recent extreme heat, but the temperature will be high at the State Board of Education meeting in Austin this month as officials debate how climate change is taught in Texas schools.

自最近的极端高温以来，得克萨斯州的天气或许已经转凉，但本月在奥斯汀召开的州教育委员会会议上气氛将会十分火热，因为官员们将辩论得州学校该如何讲授气候变化。

Such debates reflect fierce discussions across the US and around the world, as researchers, policymakers, teachers and students step up demands for a greater focus on teaching about the facts of climate change in schools.

这类辩论反映出美国乃至全世界正在进行的激烈讨论，因为研究人员、政策制定者、教师和学生都在加紧要求学校更加重视讲授有关气候变化的事实。

Even if a state is considered a high performer in its science standards, “that does not mean it will be taught”, he says.

他说，即便一个州的科学标准被认为表现出色，“那也不意味着这些内容就会被讲授”。

Another issue is that, while climate change is well integrated into some subjects and at some ages — such as earth and space sciences in high schools — it is not as well represented in curricula for younger children and in subjects that are more widely taught, such as biology and chemistry.

另一个问题是，虽然气候变化已很好地融入了某些学科和某些年龄段的教学——例如高中的地球与空间科学——但在低龄儿童的课程以及生物、化学等更普遍开设的学科中，它的体现却没有那么充分。

“It’s an awesome data set,” says Nina Strohminger, a psychologist who teaches business ethics at the University of Pennsylvania and was not involved in the study.

“这是一个很棒的数据集，”在宾夕法尼亚大学教授商业伦理、未参与该研究的心理学家尼娜·斯特罗明格说。

Schwitzgebel suspects the greatest impact came from social influence — classmates or teaching assistants leading the discussions may have shared their own vegetarianism, showing it as achievable or more common.

施维茨格贝尔猜测，最大的影响来自社会影响——主持讨论的同学或助教可能分享了自己的素食经历，表明素食是可以做到的或更为普遍的。

Now the researchers are probing the specific effects of teaching style, teaching assistants’ eating habits and students’ video exposure.

现在，研究人员正在探究教学风格、助教的饮食习惯以及学生观看视频的情况各自产生的具体影响。

Soon after his father’s release from prison, Dickens got a better job as errand boy in law offices. He taught himself shorthand to get an even better job later as a court stenographer and as a reporter in Parliament. At the same time, Dickens, who had a reporter’s eye for transcribing the life around him especially anything comic or odd, submitted short sketches to obscure magazines.

父亲出狱后不久，狄更斯在律师事务所找到了一份更好的差事——当跑腿的。他自学速记，后来得到了更好的工作，担任法庭速记员和议会记者。与此同时，狄更斯以记者的眼光记录身边的生活，尤其是任何滑稽或古怪的事情，并向一些不知名的杂志投寄短篇随笔。

(49) The changes identified by David Graddol all present clear and major challenges to the UK’s providers of English language teaching to people of other countries and to broader education business sectors.

(49) 戴维·格拉多尔所指出的这些变化，都给英国面向其他国家民众的英语教学机构以及更广泛的教育行业带来了明显而重大的挑战。

The English language teaching sector directly earns nearly £1.3 billion for the UK in invisible exports and our other education related exports earn up to £10 billion a year more.

英语教学行业直接为英国赚取了近13亿英镑的无形出口收入，而我们其他与教育相关的出口每年还能多赚多达100亿英镑。

teach their kids at least 30,000 words a year.

每年至少教孩子三万个单词。

The growth in public money for academic research has speeded the process: federal research grants rose fourfold between 1960 and 1990, but faculty teaching hours fell by half as research took its toll.

用于学术研究的公共资金的增长加速了这一进程：1960年至1990年间，联邦研究经费增长了三倍，而由于研究占用了大量精力，教师的授课时间却减少了一半。

One reason why it is hard to design and teach such courses is that they cut across the insistence by top American universities that liberal-arts education and professional education should be kept separate, taught in different schools. Many students experience both varieties. Although more than half of Harvard undergraduates end up in law, medicine or business, future doctors and lawyers must study a non-specialist liberal-arts degree before embarking on a professional qualification.

此类课程难以设计和讲授的原因之一在于，它们与美国顶尖大学的一贯主张相抵触，即博雅教育和职业教育应当分开，由不同的学院讲授。许多学生两种教育都会经历。虽然超过一半的哈佛本科生最终从事法律、医学或商业，但未来的医生和律师在攻读职业资格之前，必须先读一个非专业性的文科学位。

Professor Dinesh Bhugra, president of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, said: “If children are taught about the impact that food has on their growth, and that some things can harm, at least information is available up front.”

英国皇家精神科医学院院长迪内希·布格拉教授说：“如果让孩子们了解食物对他们成长的影响，知道有些东西会造成伤害，那么至少他们事先就能获得这些信息。”
