Students should always question what they are taught instead of accepting it passively.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position.
五問:
本題屬于??嫉慕逃愵}目,大家應該把這個題目和以往我們遇到過的與學生、老師、教育機構以及學生學業(yè)發(fā)展相關的幾個題目放在一起進行準備。
(1)任何階段的學生都應該質疑老師所教授的內容嗎?所有階段的學生在所有學科上都應該質疑老師所教授的內容嗎?所有老師教授的內容都應該被質疑嗎?
(2)所有學生都有質疑的能力嗎?所有的質疑都是有價值的嗎?
(3)學生們學會質疑對自己有什么好處?你能試著列舉一個歷史上從質疑中獲得好處的案例嗎?質疑會引發(fā)人們對問題的深入思考,例如:哥白尼質疑“地心說”并提出“日心說”,牛頓質疑開普勒定律并提出萬有引力定律,愛因斯坦質疑牛頓經(jīng)典力學并提出相對論。
(4)質疑對于學習內容而言是一種提升,那對于學習方法呢?除了質疑之外,還有哪些學習方法?例如:思考學習法、合作學習法、討論學習法、實驗學習法、歸納學習法等。這些學習方法之間是相互排斥的還是可以相互融合的?
(5)學生的質疑對于老師來說又有什么好處?為什么會有這些好處呢?維特根斯坦曾經(jīng)說過,圖靈對他的課程的質疑,是他把這門課程繼續(xù)教下去的原因。你能說說自己對于這段師生關系的看法嗎?
翻譯練習:
批判是創(chuàng)新和進步的源泉。這從一個事實可以看出:很多科學家不是出于對前輩的敬重,而是出于對他們的質疑才取得了突破性成果。例如,愛因斯坦是在推翻了牛頓的絕對時空觀之后,提出了著名的相對論并顛覆了人們對宇宙的認識。
參考答案:
Criticism is the source of creativity and progress. This is clear from the fact that many scientists made their breakthrough out of their skepticism towards predecessors, not out of the reverence for them. Einstein, for example, advanced the famous Theory of Relativity and revolutionized people's concept of the universe after overthrowing Newton's idea of absolute time and space.
