【F1】
Imagine every student has a tireless personal tutor, an artificially intelligent companion that magically knows everything, knows the student, and helps her learn what she needs to know.
"You guys sound like you’re from the future," Jose Ferreira, the CEO of the education technology startup Knewton, says. "That’s the most common reaction we get from others in the industry. "
When I first met Ferreira four years ago, this kind of talk sounded like typical Silicon Valley bluster from another scruffy, boyish founder of a technology startup.【F2】
Today, several million data points generated daily by each of 1 million students from elementary school through college, using Knewton’s "adaptive learning" technology to study math, reading, and other fundamentals.
【F3】
Adaptive learning is an increasingly popular slogan denoting educational software that adapts its presentation of material from moment to moment based on the user’s input.
Adaptive learning uses computers as interactive teaching devices, and computers adapts the presentation of educational material according to students’ learning needs, as indicated by their responses to questions and tasks.
【F4】
Adaptive learning has been partially driven by a realization that tailored learning cannot be achieved on the traditional, non-adaptive approaches and its systems endeavor to transform the learner from passive receptor of information to positive collaborator in the educational process.
It’s being hailed as a "revolution" by both venture capitalists and big, established education companies.
Starting this fall, Knewton’s technology will be available to the vast majority of the nation’s colleges and universities through new partnerships with three major textbook publishers: Pearson, MacMillan, and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. The company’s ultimate goal? A learning profile for every student—a sort of anonymous permanent record that travels from school years through college and onto employment.
"There’s going to be one company in the world that does this," Jose Ferreira talks, "I think it’s going to be us because we’re so far ahead now. "
【F5】
In an age of swelling class sizes, teacher layoffs, and students with a vast array of special needs and learning styles, some reformers hail these software systems as a savior that could make learning more customized and effective and teaching more efficient.
Adaptive learning will help each user find the exact right piece of content needed, in the exact right format, at the exact right time, based on previous patterns of use.
Here’s what Ferreira thinks this software-powered learning can do. " Right now about 22 percent of the people in the world graduate high school or the equivalent. That’s pitiful. In one generation we could get close to 100 percent, almost for free."
【F4】
选项
答案
意识到传统的非适应性的教学方式无法对学生进行因材施教,适应性学习便应运而生了,这种学习系统致力于使学生由被动的信息接收者变为教学过程中主动的学习合作者。
解析
该句是一个以and作连接词的并列复合句。前一个分句中,a realization…是adaptivelearning产生的原因,因此可以先把这一部分译出,然后再将主干部分译出,避免译文出现头重脚轻的感觉。对realization一词的翻译,可以采用词性转化法转译成动词“意识到”。对Adaptivelearning has been partially driven by的翻译,可以利用增词法将其译为“适应性学习便应运而生了”。后半句中,翻译难点在于对endeavor to这一短语的把握,其含义一般是“努力做……”,在该句中,结合上下文,可以引申为“致力于……”。
