Virtually unknown a decade ago, big online teacher education programs now dwarf their traditional competitors, outstripping(超过)even the largest state university teachers’ colleges.
A USA Today analysis of newly released U. S. Department of Education data finds that four big universities, operating mostly online, have quickly become the largest education schools in the USA. Last year the four—three of which are for-profit—awarded one in 16 bachelor’s degrees and post-graduate awards and nearly one in 11 advanced education awards, including master’s degrees and doctorates.
A decade ago, in 2001, the for-profit University of Phoenix awarded 72 education degrees to teachers, administrators and other school personnel through its online program, according to federal data. Last year, it awarded nearly 6,000 degrees, more than any other university.
Traditional colleges still produce most of the bachelor’s degrees in teaching. But online schools such as Phoenix and Walden University awarded thousands more master’s degrees than even the top traditional schools, all of which are pushing to offer online coursework.
"We shouldn’t be surprised because the whole industry is moving in that direction," said Robert Pianta, dean of the University of Virginia’s Curry School of Education. " The thing I would be interested in knowing is the degree to which they are simply pushing these things out in order to generate dollars or whether there’s some real innovation in there. "
For-profit universities have been the subject of intense examining in Congress. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, who chairs the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, last week released findings from a two-year investigation showing that they cost more than comparable not-for-profit schools and have higher dropout rates. For-profits, the investigation found, enroll about 10% of U. S. college students but account for nearly 50% of student loan defaults.
Online education schools, many of which have open-enrollment policies similar to community colleges, say their offerings are high quality.
Meredith Curley, dean of the University of Phoenix College of Education, said many students are returning to complete their education after starting families and changing careers. Their average age is 33, she said, and many work while they attend classes. Becky Lodewyck, Phoenix’s associate dean, said teaching candidates must complete at least 100 hours of field experience. She said online classes are "incredibly dynamic" and have the potential to hold students more accountable than face-to-face classes. " You can’t hide," she said. " Everyone participates—everyone has to be fully engaged in the work. "
Why does Becky Lodewyck say online classes have the potential to hold students more accountable?
选项
A、Because many students have worked before they return to education.
B、Because students must complete at least 100 hours of field experience.
C、Because everyone has to be fully engaged in the work.
D、Because students have a strong sense of responsibility.
答案
C
解析
事实细节题。由定位句可知,在网络课程中是无法隐藏自己的表现的,任何一个参加网络课程的人都必须全身心投人到学习中去,故C)为本题答案。A)“因为许多学生在重新接受教育之前已经参加工作”是对参加网络课程的学生情况的说明,和责任心无关,故排除;B)“因为学生必须有不少于100个小时的实践经验”是凤凰城大学教育学院对申请教育岗位的人的要求,故排除;D)“因为学生有很强的责任感”在原文中并未提及,故排除。
