Institutions of higher learning must move, as the historian Walter Russell Mead puts it, from a model of "time served" to a model of "stuff learned." Because increasingly the world does not care what you know. Everything is on Google. The world only cares, and will only pay for, what you can do with what you know. And therefore it will not pay for a C-plus in chemistry, just because your state college considers that a passing grade and was willing to give you a diploma. We ’re moving to a more competency-based world, where there will be less interest in how you acquired the competency and more demand to prove that you mastered the competency.
Therefore, we have to get beyond the current system of information and delivery—the professorial "sage on the stage" and students taking notes, followed by a superficial assessment, to one in which students are asked and empowered to master more basic material online at their own pace, and the classroom becomes a place where the application of that knowledge can be honed through lab experiments and discussions with the professor.
There seemed to be a strong consensus that this "blended model" combining online lectures with a teacher-led classroom experience was the ideal. Last fall, San Jose State used the online lectures and interactive exercises of MIT’ s introductory online Circuits and Electronics course. Students would watch the MIT lectures and do the exercises at home. Then in class, the first 15 minutes were reserved for questions and answers with the San Jose State professor, and the last 45 were devoted to problem-solving and discussion. Preliminary numbers indicate that those passing the class went from nearly 60 percent to about 90 percent.
We demand that plumbers and kindergarten teachers be certified to do what they do, but there is no requirement that college professors know how to teach.
No more
. The world of MOOCs(Massive Open Online Courses)is creating a competition that will force every professor to improve his or her pedagogy or face an online competitor.
Bottom line: There is still huge value in the residential college experience and the teacher-student and student-student interactions it facilitates. But to thrive, universities will have to nurture even more of those unique experiences while blending in technology to improve education outcomes in measurable ways at lower costs. We still need more research on what works, but standing still is not an option.
What does the author mean by "No more" in Paragraph 4?
选项
A、College professors are forced to improve his pedagogy.
B、There is no competition among college students.
C、Teaching capacity of college professors can be assessed.
D、There is no need for plumbers and kindergarten teachers to obtain certification.
答案
A
解析
根据题干关键词定位到第四段。根据前一句和下一句可知,在线公开课引入了竞争,这迫使每位教授改善自己的教学方法,故A项“大学教授被迫改进自己的教学方法”为正确答案。B项“在大学生中没有竞争”原文没有提到且不符合常识。C项“大学教授的教学能力可以被评估了”为过度推断。D项“水管工和幼儿园教师不需要获得证书”.是对原文的曲解。
