关于大学教育的范文篇1:The Aim of a University Education
If then a practical end must be assigned to a university course, I say it is that good members of society. Its art is the social life, and end is fitness for the world. It neither confines its views to particular professions on the one hand, nor creates heroes or inspires genius on the other. Workers indeed of genius fall under no art; heroic minds come under no rule; a university is not a birthplace of poets or of immortal authors, of funders of schools, or leaders of colonies, or conquerors of nations. It does not promise a generation of Aristotles or Newtons, of Napoleons or Washingtons, of Raphaels or Shakespeares, though such miracles of nature it has before now contained within its precincts. Nor is it content on the other hand with forming the critic or the experimentalist, the economist or the engineer, although such too it includes with its scope. But a university training is the great ordinary means to a great but ordinary end; it aims at raising the intellectual tone of society, at cultivating the public mind, at purifying the national taste, at giving enlargement and sobriety to the idea of the age, at facilitating the exercise of political power, and refining the intercourse of private life. It is the education which gives a man a clear, conscious view of his own opinion and judgments, a truth
in developing them, an eloquence in expressing them, and a force in urging them. It teaches him to see things as they are, to go right to the point, to disentangle a skein of thought, to detect what is sophistical, and to discard what is irrelevant. It prepares him to fill any post with credit, and to maser and to master any subject with facility. It shows him how to accommodate himself to others, how to throw himself into their stat of mind, how to bring before them him own, how to influence them, how to come to an understanding with them, how to bear with them. He is at home in any society, he has common ground with every class; he knows when to speak and when to be silent; he is also to converse; he is able to listen; he can ask a question pertinently, and gain a lesson seasonably, where he has nothing to impart himself; he is ever ready, yet never in the way; he is a pleasant companion, and a comrade you can depend upon; he knows when to be serious and when to trifle, and he has a sure tact which enables him to trifle with gracefulness and to be serious with effect. He has the repose of a mind which lives in itself, while it lives in the world, and which serves him in public, and supports him in retirement, without which good fortune is but vulgar, and with which failure and disappointment have a charm.
The art which tends to make a man all this, is in the object which it pursues as useful as the art of wealth or the art of health, though it is less susceptible of method, and less tangible, less certain, less complete in the its result.
关于大学教育的范文篇2:The Function Of University Education
When talking about college graduates’ obstacles in finding a job, some are suggesting that universities ought to shoulder the responsibilities and get their students ready when they finish their four-year education in higher educational institutions. Their basic argument here is that college students pay their tuition to get a good job after graduation, and university education thus should satisfy their needs of such a nature. I personally would not take their side on this issue. I believe, when it comes to university function, it should still be cultivating educates citizens for our society, rather than simply producing workers for it.
To start with, my belief of university functions does not exclude all channels students can have to enhance themselves for better employment opportunities. My position is just that career preparation should never take the leading position, as some college students are currently doing, which is a worrying phenomenon. And basic academic training and career development don’t contradict with each other. It’s true that the majority of what you have learned in universities cannot be directly applied to practical use, as the ability to absurd information, to analyze situations and most importantly the
ability of acquire new knowledge and learning new skills cannot be obtained by simply attending career talks and model interviews.
Also, when we put the issue into a bigger picture, we can find that there are a lot more to be done to solve this problem. To name just a few, the structure and proportion of higher educational institutions and vocational educational organization, the restructuring of economic development and a better organized internship plans should all take a higher position in the to-do list of solving of the problem of raised.
And, when we take the assumption that priority in university education is really reallocated to career preparation, can we solve the problem? Obviously, better interview skills cannot guarantee the satisfying performance of the newly employed, without the solid foundation that the universities provide them with. And how can we expect to put more university graduates to the same number of positions available at a given time point with nothing else but career preparation?
All in all, higher educational institutions should have more important destinies in our society than simply providing it with more workers. And the difficulties faced by graduates cannot be solved by changing the priorities of university education. Also,
some more related issues should be paid attention to, which will actually ease this problem to a considerable extent. So I strongly believe that universities should be and will be places where better citizens are cultivated.
关于大学教育的范文篇3:The real value of college students
If I am a director of a company, I just need someone who can deal with his job; If I am a college student, I just need to focus on my major, and then I can find a good job which needs me.
That’s how they think, and that’s why a lot of graduate college students can’t find their jobs.
We can’t just learn our major, and then find a job. Because company is not established for school to put their students in, on the contrary, school is a place that develops people’s skills. What the society really need are all-around people. In the other word, the real value of college students is to develop yourselves to become all-round people.
MIT created a program in response to industry pressures—the students practice networking and hone “elevator pitches”,entrepreneurial ideas summarized in under a min
students said they don’t need all that silly management training. But later they found the program boosted their social confidence and widened their career aspiration. And one student she developed an idea for technological device, on which she is not allowed to elaborate, that she wanted to pitch to the chief executive. One night at a dinner reception in London, she cornered him on his way out the door and gave her elevator pitch.(she later heard from manager that he liked the idea)
Everybody knows a great woman called Yanglan in China. Her major at college is English. How can she be chose to be a CCTV host if she did’t read any books about media at college. How can she enter the business circle if she did’t learn something about management.
When I was a freshman, I was very interested in English(my major), and I
just focused on English. Every time I went to the library, I went straight to the English bookstore, and even never gave a glance at those books that has nothing with English. I changed my view thoroughly until I read a news on newspaper one day: A foreign company was employing an assistant to the sales management, but at last they hired none. When a sales major student was interviewed, he could’t speak English fluently, and even could’t understand what the company e-mails said; when they interviewed an English major student, he knew nothing about sales. Obviously, he could’t help the management solve some basic problem; When they finally found that someone knew both sales and English, they also found that he could’t use office software freely.
It impressed me a lot. So why not read not only many but also different books
to learn how the world operates and explore our potential ability which we did’t even realize. We’d better read newspapers to know what happened in every aspects of the world. Last but not least, it suggested that we should make more different friends and exchange our ideas from time to time, then we’ll learn a lot from each other.
Knowing how valuable we are in the company is a happy thing. But in the first place, we should know what the real value of our college students.
