GRE Issue高頻提綱——教育類
1. 教育的目的：
The study of an academic discipline alters the way we perceive the world. After studying the discipline, we see the same world as before, but with different eyes.
a) 對于自然學科的學習，給了我們科學知識，讓我們了解了世界的本質;對進化論evolutionism的學習可以使我們改變了過去認為上帝創造了世界的觀點，而科學的認為所有物種都是逐漸進化而來的。魏格納的板塊學說使我們認識到現狀的大陸不斷漂移而不是恒久不變的，非洲和南美洲過去曾經是相連的continental drift and plate tectonics
b) 對哲學和社會學科的學習，讓我們學會用辯證，發展的眼光來看待問題;如：dialectic辯證法教給我們將事物一分為二的看待，有好有壞;Every coin has two sides.
c) 專業知識的學習，跟使得我們傾向于使用我們的專業知識來看待問題。(例如我們看一棟房子，我學經濟會考慮房屋是否經濟，我同學建筑會考慮房屋的結構如何，學平面設計或者藝術會首先想到怎樣來不知和裝飾;
The purpose of education should be to create an academic environment that is separate from the outside world. This kind of environment is ideal because it allows students to focus on important ideas without being held back by practical concerns.
For better or worse, education is a process that involves revising the ideas, beliefs, and values people held in the past.
It is often asserted that the purpose of education is to free the mind and the spirit. In reality, however, formal education tends to restrain our minds and spirits rather than set them free.
The purpose of education should be to provide students with a value system, a standard, a set of ideas -- not to prepare them for a specific job.
Learning for learnings sake is an outdated concept. Today, education must serve an ulterior purpose and be directed toward clear goals.
It is dangerous to trust only intelligence.
