Should the goal of college education be to ensure that the students find a good job or should it aim at cultivating the students overall abilities? 大学教育的目的究竟应该是怎样的呢?毫无疑问，人们肯定会有不同的看法，甚至各个大学之间也会观点相左。我个人倾向于培养学生的综合能力。 What should be the purpose of college education? No doubt, different people, or even different universities, may see it quite differently. As to me, I tend to support the view that it should aim at cultivating the students overall abilities. 首先，只有全面发展的学生才是从长远角度讲社会发展所真正需要的。我们可以问问自己：社会发展需要什么样的大学毕业生呢?简单想想就会得到答案：有良好的专业知识、有健康的体魄、有健康的心态、有较好的沟通能力、有团队精神、有创新能力或执行能力。当然，如果一个人能够更加多才多艺，那不但对其本人的生活，而且对于一个团队生活的多彩性都会有很大帮助的。这一切的一切归纳起来是什么呢?答案很明了：综合能力。 First of all, social progress needs overall-developed college graduates in the long run. When we ask ourselves the question: What kind of college graduates does the society need? the answer is just too obvious: ones with a good command of the knowledge in their own fields of study, ones with a healthy body, ones with a healthy mentality, ones with good communication skills, ones with team-work spirit, ones with creative, innovative ability or the ability for implementation. What are all these things are? Again, the answer is just simple: overall abilities. |
