In the coming era of budget cuts to education, distance learning could become the norm.
The temptation for those in charge of education budgets to trade teachers for technology could be so strong that they ignore the disadvantages of distance learning. School facilities are expensive to build and maintain, and teachers are expensive to employ. Online classes do not require buildings and each class can host hundreds of people simultaneously, resulting in greater savings, thus increasing the temptation of distance education for those concerned more about budgets than learning. But moving away from a traditional classroom in which a living, breathing human being teaches and interacts with students daily would be a disaster. Physically attending school has hidden benefits: getting up every morning, interacting with peers, and building relationships with teachers are essential skills to cultivate in young people. Moreover, schools should be more than simple institutions of traditional learning. They are now places that provide meals. They are places where students receive counseling and other support.
Those policy-makers are often fascinated by the latest technology in education and its potential to "transform" education overnight. But online education does not allow a teacher to keep a struggling student after class and offer help. Educational videos may deliver academic content, but they are unable to make eye contact or assess a student’s level of engagement. Distance education will never match the personal teaching in a traditional classroom. In their first 18 years of life, American children spend only 9% of their time in school. Yet teachers are expected to prepare them to be responsible citizens, cultivate their social skills, encourage successful time management, and enhance their capacity to flourish in an increasingly harsh labor market. Given these expectations, schools should not become permanently "remote".
The power of the classroom is rooted in the humanity of the people gathered in the same place, at the same time. Personal teaching is about teachers showing students a higher path, and about young people going through the process together. Technology, no matter how advanced, should simply be a tool of a good teacher.
What mainly accounts for the possibility that distance learning could become the norm?
选项
A、Advances in education technology.
B、Shrinking financial resources.
C、Shortage of school facilities.
D、Lack of qualified teachers.
答案
B
解析
推理判断题。第一段指出,在即将到来的教育预算削减时代,远程教育可能会成为常态。第二段前三句提到,远程学习可以节省建造和维护学校设施的成本以及人力成本,这对负责教育预算的人非常有吸引力。由此可见,远程学习可能成为常态的主要原因是教育预算的削减,即财政资源的缩水,故答案为B)。第三段第一句提到,这些政策制定者经常被最新的教育技术及其在一夜之间“彻底改变”教育的潜力所吸引,但并不能由此推出教育技术的进步是远程教育可能成为常态的主要原因,由此可以排除A)。第二段第二句提到,学校设施的建造和维护成本高昂,教师的雇佣成本也很高,但并未提及学校设施不足和缺乏合格的教师,由此可以排除C)和D)。
