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. "
The University of Phoenix______.
选项
A、enlarged the scale of its online education coursework
B、made great profit from online education coursework
C、surpassed the traditional universities in scale
D、became the largest university providing online education
答案
A
解析
事实细节题。由原文可知,在2001年,凤凰城大学通过网上教育项目给教师、行政人员和其他学校职员颁发了72个教育学学位。去年,它颁发的学位高达近6 000个,超出了任何一所大学,故A)“扩大了网上教育的规模”为本题答案。B)“从网上教育中获利丰厚”并未在原文中得到体现,故排除;C)“在规模上超过了传统大学”和原文不符,原文仅对凤凰城大学网上教育的规模进行了纵向比较,同时原文说的是凤凰城大学颁发的学位比传统大学多,但并不意味着它的规模就比传统大学大,故排除;D)“成为了最大的提供网上教育的大学”和原文不符,原文仅说凤凰城大学的网上教育规模有了大幅度提高,但并未表明它就是最大的网上教育大学,故排除。
