In the 1997 general-election campaign, "Education, Education" was Tony Blair’s pet phrase. Times change quickly. Education is going rapidly out of fashion. "Learning" (to be exact, "lifelong learning") is New Labour’s new buzzword (时髦语). The shift from "education" to "learning" reflects more than a change of language. It stems from both educational research and left-wing ideas. During the 1980s, British educationalists got some new American ideas. One was the notion that traditional examinations do not test the full range of people’s abilities. Another was the belief that skills are not necessarily learned from teachers in a conventional classroom. People can pick them up in all sorts of ways.
All this echoed left-wing ideas that traditional teaching methods were not sufficiently adaptable to the needs of individual learners. Advocates of lifelong learning argue that it merely describes what has changed in education in the past decade. And there are now hundreds of schemes in which pupils learn outside the classroom.
Until now, education has been changing from below. In the next few weeks, the government will help from above. One of its main projects for lifelong learning is about to begin its first pilot programmes. With funding of $ 44 million in its first year, it will coordinate a new network of "learning centres" throughout the country. Traditional institutions, such as schools and colleges, will provide training at some non-traditional places of learning, such as supermarkets, pubs, and churches. The theory is that in such places students will feel more at ease, and therefore will be better motivated, than in a classroom.
The new schemes allow consumers of education to exercise complete choice over where, what and when they learn. In the rest of the state-run education sector, the government still seems to be committed to restricting choices as much as possible. If these programmes succeed, they could improve the skills of Britain’s workforce.
According to the writer, the shift from "education" to "learning" ______.
选项
A、is but a change of language
B、reflects the traditional ideas in education
C、reflects the government’s wish to restrict choices
D、is not just a change of language
答案
D
解析
本题问作者指出从教育转换为学习有什么特点。文章第一段指出,在1997年的大选活动中,“教育、教育”是布莱尔最喜欢用的词。随着时间的推移,“教育”已经过时了,现在“学习”(更确切地说是“终身学习”)已经成为新工党的时髦语。由教育转换为“学习”反映的不仅是语言上的变化。它根源于对教育的研究和左派人士的观点。在20世纪80年代,英国的教育家从美国人那里获得了一些新思想,其中之一是传统的考试并不能测试人的全部能力的观念,另一个是相信技能未必是在传统的课堂里从老师那里学到的,人们可以通过各种渠道获取知识。因此,本题的正确答案应是D“不只是语言用词的变化”。
