The Carnegie Foundation report says that many colleges have tried to be "all things to all people." In doing so, they have increasingly catered to a narrow-minded careerism while failing to cultivate a global vision among their students. The current crisis, it contends, does not derive from a legitimate desire to put learning to productive ends. The problem is that in too many academic fields, the work has no context; skills, rather than being means, have become ends. Students are offered a variety of options and allowed to pick their way to a degree. In short, driven by careerism, "the national colleges and universities are more successful in providing credentials than in providing a quality education for their students." The report concludes that the special challenge confronting the undergraduate college is one of shaping an "integrated core" of common learning. Such a core would introduce students "to essential knowledge, to connections across the disciplines, and in the end, to application of knowledge to life beyond the campus."
Although the key to a good college is a high-quality faculty, the Carnegie study Found that most colleges do very little to encourage good teaching. In fact, they do much to undermine it. As one professor observed: "Teaching is important, we are told, and yet faculty know that research and publication matter most." Not surprisingly, over the last twenty years colleges and universities have failed to graduate half of their four-year degree candidates. Faculty members who dedicate themselves to teaching soon discover that they will not be granted tenure, promotion, or substantial salary increases. Yet 70 percent of all faculty say their interests lie among more in teaching than in research. Additionally, a frequent complaint among young scholars is that "There is pressure to publish, although there is virtually no interest among administrators or colleagues in the content of the publications." [br] When a college tries to be "all things to all people" (Para. 1), it aims to
选项
A、satisfy the needs of all kinds of students simultaneously.
B、focus on training students in various skills.
C、encourage students to take as many courses as possible.
D、make learning serve academic rather than productive ends.
答案
B
解析
细节题。根据题干定位到原文第一段。“In doing so…”其实指代的正是“many colleges have tried to be all things to all people’’,而这样做的后果就是:大学越来越迎合一种狭隘的职业培训至上的观点,而没有能够开阔学生的眼界。可见高校开设很多课让学生选修,其首要目的在技术培训,以迎合就业,而非灌输基本知识。
