毋庸置疑,老師在學(xué)生全面發(fā)展的道路上所發(fā)揮的作用是多方面的。作為教師,首要任務(wù)就是向?qū)W生傳授學(xué)術(shù)知識(shí),然而,確保學(xué)生在其它方面取得進(jìn)步亦是同樣重要的。
There is no denying that a teacher’s role in the overall development of a student is multifaceted. As teacher, one’s primary obligation is to teach students academic knowledge. Yet, it is equally important for him to make sure that the students make progresses in other aspects.
首先,能否有效地向?qū)W生傳遞學(xué)術(shù)知識(shí)是評(píng)判一名教師合格與否的第一、同時(shí)也是最重要的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。學(xué)生在校期間的主要任務(wù)就是為更高層次的學(xué)習(xí)奠定扎實(shí)基礎(chǔ),因此,教師的任務(wù)就是幫助他們達(dá)到預(yù)期的目標(biāo)。
First of all, whether one can effectively pass academic knowledge to the students makes the first and most important criterion for judging him as a qualified or unqualified teacher. The main task for the students to perform at school is to lay a solid foundation for their study at a higher level, thus the task for a teacher is to assist them to achieve this goal.
第二,老師的職責(zé)并非僅僅局限于向?qū)W生傳授學(xué)術(shù)知識(shí)。學(xué)生還應(yīng)該不斷提升自己辨別是非的能力,從而可以在步出校門時(shí)成為好公民。要做到這一點(diǎn),老師要扮演的角色就不止是教授文化課這么單一了。他需要為學(xué)生樹(shù)立道德典范并與學(xué)生分享或討論對(duì)社會(huì)上諸多現(xiàn)象的觀點(diǎn)和看法。
Second, a teacher’s obligation is not just confined to passing on academic knowledge to the students. The students are also supposed to develop their ability to judge right from wrong, thus becoming good citizens when they step out of school. To do this, a teacher will have more roles to play than just teaching academic subjects. He will have to set a good example of morality himself and share or discuss with his students his viewpoints towards different phenomena in the society. In a sense, apart from the role as pure academic teacher, he also serves the roles of students’ parents at school.
誠(chéng)然,老師可以相對(duì)保證學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)方面的進(jìn)步,而在道德規(guī)范方面就不見(jiàn)得這么有把握。這主要是因?yàn)樯鐣?huì)是個(gè)大染缸,最終被染成什么顏色是多方面共同作用的結(jié)果,這其中就有家庭和所有其它方面的影響,所以,從這個(gè)方面來(lái)講,老師的作用畢竟還是有限的。
Admittedly, a teacher can relatively be more sure about the academic progress of the students, but not that sure about their moral development for the simple reason that the society is a big dyeing pool in which one’s being dyed into a certain color is the result of many factors of which family and many other things also have a role to play. Therefore, seen from this perspective, the influence of a teacher is, after all, limited.
由此,我們可以得出這樣的結(jié)論:老師除了教授學(xué)生學(xué)術(shù)知識(shí)外,還應(yīng)該竭力塑造他們的個(gè)性與道德形象,同時(shí),全社會(huì)應(yīng)該協(xié)力確保學(xué)生們的全面發(fā)展。
From the above discussion, we can come to the conclusion that apart from teaching students academic subjects, a teacher should also try his best to mould their personality and moral image. Meanwhile, the society as a whole is also supposed to work together to ensure the students’ overall development.
