Seldin (1995) gives us final inspiration, “Teaching is an art and not a science. Yet, every artist needs a grounding in technique before setting to work, and there is no artist—or teacher—who cannot improve his or her skill”.
Seldin(1995年)最后给了我们启示:“教学是一门艺术,而不是一门科学。然而,每一个艺术家在开始工作之前需要有一定的技术基础,并且没有一个艺术家或教师的技能是不能提高的。”
As Donald K. Smith asserted, "A university is its faculty" and "The excellence of a university is the excellence of its Faculty" (1978, p. 1).
Smith(1978年)断言,“一所大学就是它的教师”和“一所大学的卓越就是它的优秀教师”。
学生能轻而易举地识别低质量的教学,然而,何为高质量的教学,学生对此并不敏感。他们一直生活在同一个校园里,缺乏比较的视角,因此并不清楚学校是否已经尽其所能提供了最佳(或者说接近最佳)的教学。
