In a country with a shrinking population, the latest trend in Germany’s higher education is something of a mystery: the number of universities and academic programs is rising. The growth is the sharpest for professional graduate schools, where the number has soared from practically zero in 2013 to 130 now, in fields ranging from law and business to clinical counseling and education. But there is one obvious problem: not enough students are signing up. The German government says that nearly half of professionally oriented programs, aside from law schools, have yet to fill their stated student capacity. And the problem has been especially acute in graduate programs in education.
Interest in many professional schools has been less than overwhelming, said Markus Zimmermann, an executive senior consultant at the Germany Research Institute in Berlin, which is affiliated with Berliner Banking Corp. "German universities tend to roll out programs without having a good grasp of the needs in the marketplace," said Mr. Zimmermann, who watches Germany’s higher education. "When they start a program, they assume there will be students."
In German, the need for graduate programs seems undeniable: lifetime employment is crumbling, employers are spending less time and money to train young workers, and social problems are becoming more complex, increasing the need for experts. Setting up graduate programs in education was the universities’ answer to a growing dissatisfaction with the primary and secondary school system.
With the accreditation of the Ministry of Education, 19 universities launched professionally oriented graduate programs in teacher education, seeking approximately 700 students in total. Seven more schools introduced similar programs a year later. During the first year, 8 of the 19 original institutions fell short of the target enrollment—some by far: two schools managed to recruit only half of the target numbers of students. A ministry assessment completed shortly afterward said the schools lacked proper marketing methods and had failed to clearly state the practical benefits of receiving graduate diplomas.
Some schools are taking their own measures to increase enrollment. They have gone around visiting undergraduate departments giving explanatory sessions and did what they could to let people know about their problems. The graduate school has also been placing an emphasis on practical training, for example, sending students to teach at local primary and secondary schools. Students teach lessons at local schools, videotape the classes and then bring the tapes back for evaluation with other students. Then they feed the solutions back to the classes. A number of graduate students have had years of teaching experience before coming to the graduate programs, and generally held positive views about the in-class training.
What have some schools done to enhance the education of graduates in teaching?
选项
A、Identify issues, find solutions and solve issues in classroom.
B、Provide the approach of integrated theory with practice.
C、Send students to teach at local schools.
D、Arrange and organize students to study theoretical knowledge.
答案
C
解析
根据题干中的What have some schools done to enhance the education of graduates in teaching定位到原文第五段。本题问的是学校采取的措施,定位到第五段的第三句,即研究生院校也将更加注重实践,比如派学生到当地的中小学任教(sending students to teach at local primary and secondary schools)。选项C“派学生到当地学校任教(Send students to teach at local schools)”,与原文内容一致,属于相同含义,为正确答案。选项A“在课堂上发现问题,找到解决方案并解决问题”,出自原文第五段第五句,该句指出,然后,他们将解决方案反馈给上课班级(they feed the solutions back to the classes),并不是在课堂上反馈解决方案,与原文内容相反,属于正反混淆。选项B“提供理论与实践(practice and theory)相结合的方法”,原文第五段第三句提到研究生院校重视实践 (placing an emphasis on practical training),但没有提到理论知识,所以选项B属于主观推测。选项D“安排并组织(arrange and organize)学生学习理论知识”,原文并没有提到组织学生学习理论知识,属于无中生有。五段:一些院校为了招收更多的学生而采取新措施,看重实践经验。
