在《Most Likely to Succeed(极有最大可能性成功)》一书中,哈佛学者Tony Wagner给出了教育的⽬的:
The purpose of education is to encourage students with their passions and growing sense of purpose, teach them critical skills needed for career and citizenship, and inspire them to do their very best to make their world better.
(1)⿎励学⽣要有热情和不断增⻓的⽬标感,
(2)教授他们社会和公⺠⾝份所需的关键技能,
(3)并激励他们尽最⼤努⼒让他们的世界变得更加美好。
他又进一步把三个目的分解为六个目标:
teach students cognitive and social skills.
prepare students to be responsible, contributing citizens.
build character.
help students in a process of self-discovery.
inspire students through the study of humanity's great works.
prepare students for productive careers.
1. 教学⽣知识和社会技能
2. 培养学⽣成为有责任⼼的,有贡献精神的公⺠
3. 培养品格
4. 帮助学⽣不断地⾃我发现和发展
5. 激励学⽣去学习⼈类杰出的成果
6. 培养学⽣具有富有成效的职业可能性
新世界下,各个学科的标准应该与时俱进。Tony Wagner给出了20世纪和21世纪对学生在各科的不同要求对比。以下图是妮妮博士的原创译图:
