When most people think of the word "education," they think of a pupil as a sort of animate (有 生命的) sausage container. Into this empty container, the teachers are supposed to stuff "education."
But genuine education, as Socrates knew more than two thousand years ago, is not inserting the stuffing of information into a person, but rather eliciting knowledge from him; it is the drawing out of what is in the mind.
"The most important part of education," once wrote William Ernest Hocking, the distinguished Harvard philosopher, "is this instruction of a man in what he has inside of him."
And, as Edith Hamilton has reminded us, Socrates never said, "I know, learn from me." He said, rather, "Look into your own selves and find the spark of truth that God has put into every heart and that only you can develop to flame."
In the dialogue called the "Meno," Socrates takes an ignorant slave boy, without a day of schooling, and proves to the amazed observers that the boy really "knows" geometry — because the principles of geometry are already in his mind, waiting to be called out.
So many of the discussions and controversies about the content of education are useless and inconclusive because they are concerned with what should "go into" the student rather than with what should be "taken out", and how this can best be done.
The college student who once said to me, after a lecture, "I spend so much time studying that I don’t have a chance to learn anything," was expressing his dissatisfaction with sausage-container view of education.
He was being so stuffed with varied facts, with such an indigestible mass of material, that he had no time (and was given no encouragement) to draw on his own resources, to use his own mind for analyzing and synthesizing and evaluating this material.
Education, to have any meaning beyond the purpose of creating well-informed dunces, must elicit from the pupil what is potential in every human being — the rules of reason, the inner knowledge of what is proper for men to be and do, the ability to assess evidence and come to conclusions that can generally be agreed on by all open minds and worm hearts.
Pupils are more like oysters (牡蛎) than sausages. The job of teaching is not to stuff them and then seal them up, but to help them open and reveal the riches within. There are pearls in each of us, if only we knew how to cultivate them with enthusiasm and insistence.
What did Socrates say about genuine education?
选项
A、Education should draw students’ attention.
B、Education demands to absorb much knowledge.
C、Education requires explicit knowledge transfer.
D、Education aims to develop students’ potentials.
答案
D
解析
第二段提到,…真正的教育…是从他那里引出知识…是提取脑海里的东西,[D]中的develop students’potentials(开发学生的潜能)是对此的同义转述,故答案为[D]。[A]是针对the drawing out of what is in the mind设的干扰项;文中提到真正的教育需要从学生那里eliciting knowledge,[B]中仅提到demands to absorb much knowledge(要求吸收许多知识),表述不正确,故排除;[C]中的explicit(详细的)knowledge transfer是针对eliciting(引出)knowledge在形上设的干扰项。
