Recently, Yu played Yu lie in the debate over whether Sina became a second-class China North University (Qingdao. However, I have been lamenting that if it is just a problem of Tsinghua University, it will not be a problem! This is a question of university education in China!
Chinese universities are second-class!
Yang zhenning once said: "Chinese universities are very successful ".
Some articles quoted by Xinhua News Agency:
"From the Perspective of educating young people, undergraduate education in Chinese universities is very successful ." Yang zhenning said that he had taken a physics class for a freshman at Tsinghua University in 2004. He had taught physics twice in the United States. In contrast, Chinese freshman students have a more solid foundation, more focused and harder learning than American freshman students. This is because Chinese college students are well trained and focused in the middle school age. On the contrary, American students have a big gap and their ideas for the future are vague during their freshman year. For example, Yang zhenning said that when asked what is "Sine and cosine", American and Chinese students will answer the question. But when asked what is "Triangular equation", the Chinese Student Union blurted out, american students are on the cloud. This shows that China has succeeded in basic education for students in the middle school era.
Yang zhenning's logic is obviously ridiculous! "Chinese freshman students have a more solid foundation than American freshman students", does it mean that "Chinese University's undergraduate education is very successful?
On the other hand, why is the gap between Chinese universities and some universities in Europe and the US that have such a good foundation?
If anyone says that China's secondary education is still successful, I dare not fight back easily. At least I still cannot find enough reasons to attack our country's secondary education.
However, it may be the "success" of middle school education that has led to China's undergraduate education. In the world, the university forest is so vulnerable! The Chinese University follows the teaching method of secondary school education, which is based on textbooks and remains unchanged! The strange thing is that, even in this way, China's university education and middle school education are quite different!
Why?
In the middle school era, teachers have been telling us to lay a good foundation. This is correct! Of course, this will not be wrong in the university age!
However, it is very serious that courses are flooded in universities! The quality Elective Course has completely become a course of mixed credits. In addition, the level of university teachers is far lower than that of middle school teachers (indicating the level of teaching). As a result, the foundation cannot be attached! This is a good understanding of why so many graduated college students are always suffering from poor foundation.
If you do not pay enough attention to the basics, do you always pay attention to creativity in Europe and America? However, after the middle school age, the creativity is almost exhausted! What's more, which university in China has provided substantial help in cultivating students' research spirit and creative ability? It's nothing more than shouting slogans and passing through the scenes. Or, from another perspective, can a group of uncreative teachers expect them to cultivate a group of outstanding creative students? A vicious circle!
In this situation, it would be unfortunate for Chinese university education to become world-class!
It is called the second stream, which has already given enough face. In fact, there are countless three streams!
The following is an article I have just read. I think it's good. Read it!
