【譯文賞析】 我對(duì)考試的看法
現(xiàn)在在大多數(shù)學(xué)院和大學(xué)，考試被用來衡量學(xué)生在學(xué)習(xí)某門課程上 是成功還是失敗的主要方法。雖然這很有效，但它也有很大的副作用。
一方面，考試降低了教學(xué)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。由于經(jīng)常通過考試成績(jī)來評(píng)判老師， 他們就會(huì)降低要求至只訓(xùn)練學(xué)生的考試技巧。以參加考試為目標(biāo)的話， 沒有課程能被成功地教授。另一方面，最有害的影響就是，考試助長(zhǎng)了 學(xué)生不好的學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣。由于考試成績(jī)是評(píng)斷他學(xué)習(xí)表現(xiàn)的唯一標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，學(xué) 生被迫機(jī)械地記憶，而不是進(jìn)行創(chuàng)造性的思考。
事實(shí)上，我們中很少有人承認(rèn)考試對(duì)學(xué)生學(xué)業(yè)的發(fā)展有任何真正重 要的作用。如果真的是這樣的話，為什么我們不做個(gè)改變，設(shè)計(jì)出一些 比考試更有效更可靠的東西呢?
