分享文章--21世紀的人才

想分享一篇文章，看後你會如何揀小學﹖ 21世紀的人才
星島日報 17/11/2008 教育版  爹地話 方思捷
我反對背誦式的教學，例如要學生每星期默書、背書，要求學生抄生字、串英文等，這不但不會培養出21世紀的人才，還會破壞孩子讀書的興趣，令他們變得不再讀書、不愛看書。 傳統學校仍有市場的原因，只不過是大家以為它是名校，所以把子女都往裏面擠，於是名校有數量甚多的學生讓它選。 隨科技進步，過去四十年社會需要的人才已產生劇變。 Levy和Murnane的研究，把人的技能分成五大類：routinemanual(制式化手工作業)，工廠工人即屬此類；non-routinemanual(非制式化手工作業)，即的士司機和理髮師；routinecognitive(制式化具認知技能)，即寫字樓白領公務員一談；expertthinking(專業分析)，即從事開發設計行業；以及complexcommunications(團隊合作)，未有特定行業屬此列。 兩位學者分析過去四十年的人才技能變化，發現以往最吃香的中產白領族的重要性急促下降，這全是電腦化普及的影響。 一個讀書優秀、成績標青的學生，雖然仍容易找到工作，但要像上世紀六、七十年代般平步青雲卻鳳毛麟角，因為他的技能並不適用於21世紀。 21世紀的人才是個有自我、具分析能力、富想像力、易與人溝通、愛團隊合作的人。 試想把這種人才型格套入一個傳統名校的學生身上，是一個等號，還是一個問號？ 15年前，我請一個港大畢業生，入職人工是1萬元，今年也是1萬元，這15年發生了甚麼問題？電郵：[email protected]

"21世紀的人才是個有自我、具分析能力、富想像力、易與人溝通、愛團隊合作的人。"

上段文字好像形容緊我家中部電腦.  

現今英美學生的閱讀和書寫能力已響起警號,  比很多國家大有不如.  就是因太不著重傳統學習方法.  亞洲國家或學習過猶不及, 但英美也過份自主自信.   


據英國《每日郵報》11月1日報道，英國今年參加中等教育普通證書考試(GCSE)的考生中，五分之一認為太陽圍繞地球轉。
　　
《每日郵報》援引愛德思學歷及職業資格考試委員會公布的『2008年考官報告』顯示，盡管考題簡單得『令人發笑』，但考生的無知程度依然暴露無遺。
　　
報告說，十分之一的考生不知道充電電池的使用次數不止一次。
　　
一些英國議會下院議員認為，英國當前教育水平下降，而考生暴露出的問題一再證明這一點。
　　
保守派學校發言人邁克爾·戈夫則對今年新引入的GCSE科學課程考試提出質疑。他說，有證據表明，現在的考試比20年或30年前簡單得多。
　　
戈夫說：『避免教育質量進一步下滑，迫切需要繼續重視嚴格、高質教育，但政府采取的措施似乎正背道而馳。』

對對對. 真是"偉論"． 閱讀，背誦，串字，文法上的理解 - 永遠是學習語文上的必經之路.是重要的基礎訓練． no pain no gain.

Dear All,'

Very interesting topics. I also agree with what Mr.'s Fong's opinion. But I am not very eager to send my children to study in an international school. I do not want my children to be too "foreign". I am searching a primary school for my children. What is near my ideal type is St.' Stephen (Stanley) : good language environment, international teaching method with traiditonal curriculum, so on. Of course, it is with expensive tuition fee and long traveling distance. Any one has other comment on this school or suggestion of other school.

但是若不想小朋友讀國際學校或IB課程，有那些直資/私校能真正培養出21世紀的人才呢﹖(我估津校更難)

我最擔心的是新派直資/私校看似目光遠大，但骨子裡也要催谷小朋友。還有一點是我朋友提出的，最基本的功夫(如串字)也不成，又怎能要求小朋友再前一步﹖

mattsmum,

No. There is a paid newspaper clipping service in HK called wisenews. I read the paper first, then go wisenews to copy it.

Igo,

Are you also the fans of Mr. Fong?

did you type this? I can't find his article in internet. where do you find it?

mattsmum

"Ah, Mr. Fong is the bene of our HK uneven resourced education system.."

if you have expereince outside hk, you know what he means.

We talked about this point with my friend today.  We have a good schoolmate who has been doing very well in school and graduated with first hon.  But while looking at the achievement of him right now, his is like so so...  I mean yes, he has a good job but he came back home after 12 midnight.  He still cannot get to the executive level.  What's have gone wrong - confident, interpersonal skill, co-operative.  I do not know.  But for sure good academic does not mean good career prospect

readers

I totally agreed with the article. We have more and more 'high mark low ability' graduates. They know how to get good exam results but most of them are only average in workplace: not creative/innovative, poor interpersonal skill, unable to lead but can only follow instructions, .....

Whatever Mr Fong's background, what he said is true, at least in my view.

Ah, Mr. Fong is the bene of our HK uneven resourced education system.  

May be more resources should be shifted from traditional schools to the prestigious 英基 schools or should it be vice versa?

Every year many parents, including those in this forum, must suffer the pain of finding the suitable school for their children and in a way be punished by the system.  And still be advised by gurus such as Mr. Fong and be more worry about the future.  

Sorry, I am always hot headed when discussion involves the chaotic and unfair (in my point of view only) education system and guru.

都几想知道方先生是什么類型人，还有是何传统学校培養出來？

方思捷是星島日報 《師家版》的專欄作家，他的女兒在英基學校協會旗下的學校讀書，讀得非常不錯，而他本人曾經在英國教書，所以很理解亦很認同國際學校的教學模式。
