講座一:美國高等教育的道德使命
時間:3月17日 上午9:30-12:00
縱觀美國高等教育發(fā)展史,哈佛學院從建立之初有著怎樣的教育目標,?隨著經(jīng)濟的發(fā)展,,近年來,它的教育目標又受到了什么樣的挑戰(zhàn),,在未來哈佛學院又準備如何去應對這些挑戰(zhàn),?哈佛學院目前的現(xiàn)狀又是什么樣的?對于經(jīng)濟飛速發(fā)展的今天中國,,哈佛學院又給了中國高等教育什么樣的借鑒意義,?
The Moral Mission of American Higher Education
Professor Lewis will deliver two lectures on higher education. In the first talk he will sketch the history of American higher education, and how it was from the beginning (that is, from the founding of Harvard College in 1636) at least as much about civic and moral purposes as it was about skill training and economic development. Those civic and moral ideals for higher education have been challenged in recent years, and Professor Lewis will explain how issues of purpose may be resolved in the future. These matters are of critical importance today, as the U.S. feels economic competition globally and from China in particular, at the same time as many Chinese students seek higher education in the U.S. and many U.S. universities seek international talent and revenue.
講座二:信息時代的課堂重塑
時間:3月17日 下午2:30-4:30
Harry Lewis教授為我們描述了即將來臨的大學層面教學法的改革,不是MOOC的影響,,而是如何從傳統(tǒng)的講授到主動學習,,以小組為單位,師生充分的合作與交流,。他將從自己親身構建新型課程的教學經(jīng)驗和體會出發(fā),,講述如何玩轉這樣的“反轉課堂”。
Reinventing the Classroom in the Information Age
In his second lecture, Professor Lewis will describe a coming revolution in university-level pedagogy. Not the MOOC revolution, but a revolution in the use of the classroom. Far less time will be spent lecturing (since the Internet can be used for mere information transmission), and far more time on “active learning,” team-based, collaborative, interactive engagement of teachers and students. He will describe in some detail his own experience creating and teaching such a “flipped classroom” course, in discrete mathematics for computer science.
