Radical openness is still a distant future
0

学校教育的全方位开放
00:19
in the field of school education.
1
3715
2296
目前还是一件可望而不可及的事。
00:21
We have such a hard time figuring out
2
6011
1889
我们历尽艰辛才弄明白
00:23
that learning is not a place but an activity.
3
7900
4221
学习不是一个在哪学的问题，而是一项活动。
00:28
But I want to tell you the story of PISA,
4
12121
3471
以下我要给大家介绍一下PISA（国际学生评估方案），
00:31
OECD's test to measure the knowledge and skills
5
15592
2378
这个方案是OECD（济合作与发展组织）用来测量世界上
00:33
of 15-year-olds around the world,
6
17970
1629
15岁孩子们知识和技能的测试方案，
00:35
and it's really a story of how international comparisons
7
19599
4522
这一测试方案向我们展示了国与国之间的教育比较
00:40
have globalized the field of education that we usually treat
8
24121
3275
是如何把原本是一国内政事务的教育领域
00:43
as an affair of domestic policy.
9
27396
2935
全球化的。
00:46
Look at how the world looked in the 1960s,
10
30331
2424
我们先从高中毕业生的比例这一标的
00:48
in terms of the proportion of people
11
32755
1831
来看看20世纪60年代世界各国的教育
00:50
who had completed high school.
12
34586
2740
是什么样子的。
00:53
You can see the United States ahead of everyone else,
13
37326
3820
我们可以看到，美国遥遥领先排在首位，
00:57
and much of the economic success of the United States
14
41146
2713
而美国所取得的经济成就在很大程度上
00:59
draws on its long-standing advantage
15
43859
2744
得益于其长期
01:02
as the first mover in education.
16
46603
2872
作为教育先行者的教育强国地位。
01:05
But in the 1970s, some countries caught up.
17
49475
3223
到了70年代，有些国家赶上来了，
01:08
In the 1980s, the global expansion
18
52698
2689
到80年代，全球性的
01:11
of the talent pool continued.
19
55387
2596
人才扩展持续。
01:13
And the world didn't stop in the 1990s.
20
57983
3700
90年代，世界各国教育的发展并没停步。
01:17
So in the '60s, the U.S. was first.
21
61683
2024
所以，在60年代，美国教育排第一。
01:19
In the '90s, it was 13th,
22
63707
2936
到90年代，其排名第13位，
01:22
and not because standards had fallen,
23
66643
2401
其排名的下降，不是因为其本身的教育水准降低了，
01:24
but because they had risen so much faster elsewhere.
24
69044
3755
而是因为别国的教育水平大大提高了。
01:28
Korea shows you what's possible in education.
25
72799
3530
韩国教育的（成功）经验向我们展示了教育的无限可能性。
01:32
Two generations ago, Korea had the standard of living
26
76329
2945
两代人以前，韩国的生活水平
01:35
of Afghanistan today,
27
79274
2431
跟今天的阿富汗一样
01:37
and was one of the lowest education performers.
28
81705
4141
其教育水平也是全球表现最差国之一。
01:41
Today, every young Korean finishes high school.
29
85846
5552
而今天，韩国普及了高中教育。
01:47
So this tells us that, in a global economy,
30
91398
2976
这告诉我们，在全球经济中，
01:50
it is no longer national improvement that's the benchmark for success,
31
94374
4581
衡量一国教育成功的基准不再只局限于本国的进步，
01:54
but the best performing education systems internationally.
32
98955
5181
而是要将其放到国际上最好的教育系统中去进行比对才有意义。
02:00
The trouble is that
33
104136
2443
可问题是
02:02
measuring how much time people spend in school
34
106579
1870
测量一个人在学校花的时间的多少
02:04
or what degree they have got is not always
35
108449
2024
或者他们取得什么样的学位
02:06
a good way of seeing what they can actually do.
36
110473
5024
并不能判断其实际工作能力。
02:11
Look at the toxic mix of unemployed graduates on our streets,
37
115497
3673
目前的情况是，大街上到处都是失业的毕业生
02:15
while employers say they cannot find the people
38
119170
2194
而雇主却说他们招不到
02:17
with the skills they need.
39
121364
3799
他们所需要的专业技术人材。
02:21
And that tells you that better degrees don't automatically translate
40
125163
3664
这说明拥有好的学位并不等于会拥有相应的
02:24
into better skills and better jobs and better lives.
41
128827
4370
好技能、好工作和美好生活。
02:29
So with PISA, we try to change this
42
133197
2609
所以我们想运用PISA方法，
02:31
by measuring the knowledge and skills
43
135806
1871
直接测量人们的知识和技能
02:33
of people directly.
44
137677
3436
以此来改变这种现象。
02:37
And we took a very special angle to this.
45
141113
1898
我们对此采取了一个非常特殊的视角。
02:38
We were less interested in whether students can simply
46
143011
2482
我们对学生是否能简单地
02:41
reproduce what they have learned in school,
47
145493
3101
复制他们在学校里学到的知识不很感兴趣，
02:44
but we wanted to test whether they can extrapolate
48
148594
2716
我们想测试的是他们能否运用
02:47
from what they know
49
151310
1913
他们已学的知识来进行推理
02:49
and apply their knowledge in novel situations.
50
153223
3879
并将新知识运用到解决末知领域的问题中去。
02:53
Now, some people have criticized us for this.
51
157102
2832
可有人因此批评我们。
02:55
They say, you know, such a way of measuring outcomes
52
159934
1947
他们说，这种测量得出的结果
02:57
is terribly unfair to people, because we test students
53
161881
2812
对人们是非常不公平的，因为我们用
03:00
with problems they haven't seen before.
54
164693
2973
学生们以前没见过的问题来测试他们。
03:03
But if you take that logic, you know,
55
167666
2041
但是，如果按这种逻辑
03:05
you should consider life unfair, because
56
169707
2928
你会认为，人生十分的不公平，
03:08
the test of truth in life is not whether we can remember
57
172635
3189
对生活的真理的检验，不在于我们是否能记住了多少
03:11
what we learned in school,
58
175824
1120
我们在学校里学的东西，
03:12
but whether we are prepared for change,
59
176944
3321
而在于我们是否作好了随时应变的准备、
03:16
whether we are prepared for jobs that haven't been created,
60
180265
2421
在于我们是否已经作好了从事那些
03:18
to use technologies that haven't been invented,
61
182686
2346
需要使用还没有发明的技术
03:20
to solve problems we just can't anticipate today.
62
185032
4917
去解决我们今天还没无预料的问题的新工作岗位的准备。
03:25
And once hotly contested,
63
189949
2185
经过激烈的争议，
03:28
our way of measuring outcomes has actually quickly become the standard.
64
192134
3437
我们测量的结果却很快成为公认的标准。
03:31
In our latest assessment in 2009,
65
195571
2242
在2009的最新评估中，
03:33
we measured 74 school systems
66
197813
3412
我们测评了74个学校系统，
03:37
that together cover 87 percent of the economy.
67
201225
3587
这些被测国的经济总量占全球经济总量的87%。
03:40
This chart shows you the performance of countries.
68
204812
3674
这个图展示了这些国家的（教育）表现。
03:44
In red, sort of below OECD average.
69
208486
2887
红色表示稍低于OECD的平均值。
03:47
Yellow is so-so, and in green are the countries doing really well.
70
211373
3376
黄色代表一般般，绿色的国家做的很好。
03:50
You can see Shanghai, Korea, Singapore in Asia;
71
214749
4354
你可以看到，亚洲的上海，南韩，新加坡；
03:55
Finland in Europe;
72
219103
1690
欧洲的芬兰；
03:56
Canada in North America doing really well.
73
220793
4366
和北美的加拿大都做的很好。
04:01
You can also see that there is a gap of almost
74
225159
2441
从表中明显一个巨大的差距在于：
04:03
three and a half school years between
75
227600
2077
在受教育程度方面，
04:05
15-year-olds in Shanghai and 15-year-olds in Chile,
76
229677
3368
在15岁年龄阶层，上海的孩子比和智利孩子平均多受了3年半的教育,
04:08
and the gap grows to seven school years
77
233045
2705
如果算上其它教育更落后的国家，
04:11
when you include the countries with really poor performance.
78
235750
3623
这个差距将达到7个学年。
04:15
There's a world of difference in the way in which
79
239373
2471
现在的年青人
04:17
young people are prepared for today's economy.
80
241844
5202
对现代经济所做的准备也存在着巨大的差异。
04:22
But I want to introduce a second important dimension
81
247046
3546
我想在这讲一下我们评估的
04:26
into this picture.
82
250592
2221
第二个重要依据。
04:28
Educators like to talk about equity.
83
252813
4375
教育家们喜欢讨论公平。
04:33
With PISA, we wanted to measure how they actually deliver equity,
84
257188
3710
我们就用PISA来测试他们是如何做到教育公平，
04:36
in terms of ensuring that people
85
260898
2227
也就是如何确保学生
04:39
from different social backgrounds have equal chances.
86
263125
3440
无论其来自哪种不同的社会背景都有均等的受教育机会。
04:42
And we see that in some countries, the impact
87
266565
1735
我们看到在有些国家，
04:44
of social background on learning outcomes
88
268300
1879
学生的社会背景对其受教育机会的影响
04:46
is very, very strong.
89
270179
1138
非常巨大。
04:47
Opportunities are unequally distributed.
90
271317
2918
由于受教育机会的不均等。
04:50
A lot of potential of young children is wasted.
91
274235
3615
很多小孩子的潜能没有得到开发而被埋没了。
04:53
We see in other countries that it matters much less
92
277850
3068
在其他一些国家，学生的社会背景
04:56
into which social context you're born.
93
280918
3493
对其受教育的机会没有太大的影响。
05:00
We all want to be there, in the upper right quadrant,
94
284411
2395
(在这张图中）)很多国家都想挤进右上象限里去，
05:02
where performance is strong and learning opportunities are equally distributed.
95
286806
4496
因为一象限代表着这些国家的教育业绩很好，学习机会分配均等。
05:07
Nobody, and no country, can afford to be there,
96
291302
2671
在教育落后地区，
05:09
where performance is poor
97
293973
1381
没有任何个人和国家能进入优良教育象限，
05:11
and there are large social disparities.
98
295354
3345
这造成了社会教育的巨大不公平。
05:14
And then we can debate, you know, is it better
99
298699
2155
这样我们就能辩论，
05:16
to be there, where performance is strong
100
300854
1799
我们是应该为了一国的教育成就
05:18
at the price of large disparities?
101
302653
2960
而牺牲学生受教育的公平机会？
05:21
Or do we want to focus on equity and accept mediocrity?
102
305613
5619
还是我们要注重教育的公平性而接受平庸呢？
05:27
But actually, if you look at how countries come out on this picture,
103
311232
2982
事实上，看一看这张图上出现的国家的教育成就，
05:30
you see there are a lot of countries that actually
104
314214
2743
可以看到很多国家实际上
05:32
are combining excellence with equity.
105
316957
4768
做到了优秀和平等的统一。
05:37
In fact, one of the most important lessons from this comparison
106
321725
2608
事实上，从这个比较得到的最重要的教训之一
05:40
is that you don't have to compromise equity
107
324333
3106
就是你不必为了达到优秀
05:43
to achieve excellence.
108
327439
2847
而向平等妥协。
05:46
These countries have moved on from providing excellence
109
330286
2439
这些国家已经走出了由为部分人提供优质教育
05:48
for just some to providing excellence for all,
110
332725
3269
到为所有人提供优质教育的发展之路，
05:51
a very important lesson.
111
335994
1972
这是个很重要的教训。
05:53
And that also challenges the paradigms of many school systems
112
337966
4976
这也挑战了很多学校体系
05:58
that believe they are mainly there to sort people.
113
342942
4303
一贯主张的"教育的功能就是要将人分为三六九等"的思维模式.
06:03
And ever since those results came out, policymakers,
114
347245
2512
自从这些结果出现后，
06:05
educators, researchers from around the world
115
349757
1977
来自世界各地的决策者，教育家，研究人员
06:07
have tried to figure out
116
351734
1361
都在试图搞清楚
06:08
what's behind the success of those systems.
117
353095
3430
这些教育系统成功的背后是什么。
06:12
But let's step back for a moment
118
356525
1824
让我们先回顾一下
06:14
and focus on the countries that actually started PISA,
119
358349
3014
关注实际开始了PISA的这些国家，
06:17
and I'm giving them a colored bubble now.
120
361363
2546
我用彩色的泡泡来表示这些国家。
06:19
And I'm making the size of the bubble
121
363909
3492
我用不同的大小
06:23
proportional
122
367401
1542
比例
06:24
to the amount of money that countries spent on students.
123
368943
3795
来表示这些国家花在学生身上的钱。
06:28
If money would tell you everything
124
372738
1552
如果教育投入的钱能够解释
06:30
about the quality of learning outcomes,
125
374290
2079
学生学习的质量，
06:32
you would find all the large bubbles at the top, no?
126
376369
3331
那照理在上面的那些国家的泡泡应该都很大才对，不是吗？
06:35
But that's not what you see.
127
379700
2545
但你看到的却不是。
06:38
Spending per student only explains about,
128
382245
2305
生均教育经费投入
06:40
well, less than 20 percent
129
384550
2296
对一个国家教育质量的影响
06:42
of the performance variation among countries,
130
386846
3518
大约不足20%，
06:46
and Luxembourg, for example, the most expensive system,
131
390364
2290
例如，卢森堡是教育投入是最高的，
06:48
doesn't do particularly well.
132
392654
2464
但其教育效果并不太好。
06:51
What you see is that two countries with similar spending
133
395118
2376
我们看到的是，两个经费投入相似的国家
06:53
achieve very different results.
134
397494
1920
可以取得完全不同的成就。
06:55
You also see -- and I think that's one of the most encouraging findings --
135
399414
4249
你也看到--我认为也是最鼓舞人的发现之一--
06:59
that we no longer live in a world that is neatly divided
136
403663
3589
我们居住的世界不是很一刀切地划分成
07:03
between rich and well-educated countries,
137
407252
2690
富有和教育程度高的国家，
07:05
and poor and badly-educated ones,
138
409942
2320
与贫穷和教育程度很差的国家，
07:08
a very, very important lesson.
139
412262
3595
这是个很重要的教训。
07:11
Let's look at this in greater detail.
140
415857
2582
让我们看一些细节。
07:14
The red dot shows you
141
418439
1806
这个红点表示
07:16
spending per student relative to a country's wealth.
142
420245
4457
生均教育经费投入与一国财富的关系。
07:20
One way you can spend money is by paying teachers well,
143
424702
2807
一种投放方法是提高老师工资，
07:23
and you can see Korea investing a lot
144
427509
2505
韩国在这方面投入大量资金
07:25
in attracting the best people into the teaching profession.
145
430014
3024
来吸引好的优秀的人才加入教育行列。
07:28
And Korea also invests into long school days,
146
433038
1926
同时，韩国延长了学校时间，
07:30
which drives up costs further.
147
434964
2756
此举进一步拉高教育投入。
07:33
Last but not least, Koreans want their teachers
148
437720
2140
最后，韩国要求他们的老师
07:35
not only to teach but also to develop.
149
439860
2280
不但要教好书，还要做好个人的职业发展。
07:38
They invest in professional development and collaboration
150
442140
2335
他们在教师的职业发展与协作
07:40
and many other things.
151
444475
2080
和其它很多方面投入资金。
07:42
All that costs money.
152
446555
1641
所有这些都得花钱。
07:44
How can Korea afford all of this?
153
448196
2670
韩国怎么付得起呢？
07:46
The answer is, students in Korea learn in large classes.
154
450866
3740
答案是，韩国学校实行大班额教学。
07:50
This is the blue bar which is driving costs down.
155
454606
4468
从这根蓝棒可以看出，此举大大降低了办学费用。
07:54
You go to the next country on the list, Luxembourg,
156
459074
2895
看下一个国家，卢森堡
07:57
and you can see the red dot is exactly where it is for Korea,
157
461969
3103
这个红点的位置和代表韩国的红点位置差不多，
08:00
so Luxembourg spends the same per student as Korea does.
158
465072
3533
所以，卢森堡和韩国的生均教育经费是一样的。
08:04
But, you know, parents and teachers and policymakers
159
468605
2894
但你看，卢森堡的家长、老师甚至决策者们
08:07
in Luxembourg all like small classes.
160
471499
2447
都喜欢小班教学。
08:09
You know, it's very pleasant to walk into a small class.
161
473946
2768
走进小课堂时很令人愉快。
08:12
So they have invested all their money into there,
162
476714
1904
所以他们把钱花在那里了，
08:14
and the blue bar, class size, is driving costs up.
163
478618
3346
从这根蓝棒可以看出，小班教学使办学经费大幅增加。
08:17
But even Luxembourg can spend its money only once,
164
481964
4161
但就算是卢森堡这样的国家，其教育经费的投入也只能是一次性的，
08:22
and the price for this is that
165
486125
2205
而这种投入模式的代价是：
08:24
teachers are not paid particularly well.
166
488330
2104
老师的收入不太好。
08:26
Students don't have long hours of learning.
167
490434
2679
学生在校学习时间不长。
08:29
And basically, teachers have little time to do anything else than teaching.
168
493113
3242
基本上，老师除了教学没时间做别的。
08:32
So you can see two countries spent their money very differently,
169
496355
3681
所以你看到两个国家花钱不同，
08:35
and actually how they spent their money
170
500036
2320
实际上他们如何花钱的影响
08:38
matters a lot more than how much they invest in education.
171
502356
6003
远远超过他们在教育上投入的金额。
08:44
Let's go back to the year 2000.
172
508359
2554
我们来看看2000年。
08:46
Remember, that was the year before the iPod was invented.
173
510913
3995
还记得吧？那是在iPod发明之前的一年。
08:50
This is how the world looked then
174
514908
2124
如果用其PISA的表现来看，
08:52
in terms of PISA performance.
175
517032
4261
当时各国的教育是这个样子的。
08:57
The first thing you can see is that the bubbles were a lot smaller, no?
176
521293
2815
这些泡泡当时还很小，不是吗？
09:00
We spent a lot less on education,
177
524108
1631
我们在教育方面的投入也少得多，
09:01
about 35 percent less on education.
178
525739
2072
只占不到35%。
09:03
So you ask yourself, if education has become so much more expensive,
179
527811
3745
扪心自问，既然教育都变得如此昂贵了，
09:07
has it become so much better?
180
531556
3353
它变得更好了吗？
09:10
And the bitter truth really is that, you know,
181
534909
2999
一个严酷的事实是，
09:13
not in many countries.
182
537908
2445
并没有很多国家取得相应的成就。
09:16
But there are some countries which have seen
183
540353
2083
但是有一些国家
09:18
impressive improvements.
184
542436
2948
已经取得了可喜的改善。
09:21
Germany, my own country, in the year 2000,
185
545384
3796
2000年我的祖国---德国
09:25
featured in the lower quadrant,
186
549180
1888
被划在较低的象限里，
09:26
below average performance, large social disparities.
187
551068
3165
比平均表现还低，社会差距很大。
09:30
And remember, Germany, we used to be one of those countries
188
554233
2003
别忘了，若只按拥有学位的人数来算，
09:32
that comes out very well when you just count people who have degrees.
189
556236
3728
德国曾是教育强国之一。
09:35
Very disappointing results.
190
559964
1761
现在的结果却令人失望。
09:37
People were stunned by the results.
191
561725
2737
测评结果也令人吃惊。
09:40
And for the very first time, the public debate in Germany
192
564462
3791
几个月以来，教育而不是税务和其他的话题，
09:44
was dominated for months by education,
193
568253
3706
成了德国公开辩论的热门话题
09:47
not tax, not other kinds of issues, but education
194
571959
2734
这是史无前例的。
09:50
was the center of the public debate.
195
574693
2551
教育成了公共辩论的中心话题。
09:53
And then policymakers began to respond to this.
196
577244
3219
接着决策者开始有了回应。
09:56
The federal government dramatically raised its investment in education.
197
580463
4230
联邦政府大幅度提高教育投入。
10:00
A lot was done to increase the life chances of students
198
584693
3629
做了很多有利于
10:04
with an immigrant background or from social disadvantage.
199
588322
2962
有移民或不良社会背景学生的事情。
10:07
And what's really interesting is that this wasn't just about
200
591284
4508
更有意思的是，这不仅
10:11
optimizing existing policies,
201
595792
3759
优化了现有政策，
10:15
but data transformed some of the beliefs and paradigms
202
599551
3413
还改变了德国教育的
10:18
underlying German education.
203
602964
1787
一些信仰和规范。
10:20
For example, traditionally, the education of the very young children
204
604751
3886
譬如，传统上，幼儿教育
10:24
was seen as the business of families, and you would have cases
205
608637
2618
被视作家庭的事，很多时候
10:27
where women were seen as neglecting their family responsibilities
206
611255
3032
当妇女把孩子送去幼儿园
10:30
when they sent their children to kindergarten.
207
614287
3088
被视为疏忽职守。
10:33
PISA has transformed that debate,
208
617375
2648
PISA改变了这场争论，
10:35
and pushed early childhood education right at the center
209
620023
2773
促使德国把儿童早期教育纳入了
10:38
of public policy in Germany.
210
622796
2392
公共政策的中心。
10:41
Or traditionally, the German education divides children
211
625188
3701
传统上，德国教育
10:44
at the age of 10, very young children,
212
628889
2748
在孩子10岁时，非常年幼的时候，就划分成
10:47
between those deemed to pursue careers of knowledge workers
213
631637
4189
从事知识职业的工作者
10:51
and those who would end up working for the knowledge workers,
214
635826
3350
和为知识工作者工作的两大群体，
10:55
and that mainly along socioeconomic lines,
215
639176
2476
这基本上与社会经济分工一致，
10:57
and that paradigm is being challenged now too.
216
641652
4168
这个范例现在也在受挑战。
11:01
A lot of change.
217
645820
2484
很多的改变。
11:04
And the good news is, nine years later,
218
648304
2954
有个好消息是，九年后，
11:07
you can see improvements in quality and equity.
219
651258
3099
你会看到教学质量和公平性的改进。
11:10
People have taken up the challenge, done something about it.
220
654357
2276
人们已经接受了挑战并采取了一些措施。
11:12
Or take Korea, at the other end of the spectrum.
221
656633
2128
看这个范围的另一头韩国
11:14
In the year 2000, Korea did already very well,
222
658761
2545
在2000年，韩国已经很好了，
11:17
but the Koreans were concerned that only a small share
223
661306
3325
但韩国人担心
11:20
of their students achieved the really high levels of excellence.
224
664631
4359
只有一小部分学生达到了很优秀的水平。
11:24
They took up the challenge,
225
668990
1814
他们接受了挑战，
11:26
and Korea was able to double the proportion of students
226
670804
3534
在十年间，韩国能将
11:30
achieving excellence in one decade in the field of reading.
227
674338
4402
阅读能力优秀学生的比例提高了一倍。
11:34
Well, if you only focus on your brightest students,
228
678740
2553
如果你只是专注于最出色的学生，
11:37
you know what happens is disparities grow,
229
681293
1919
差距就会产生，
11:39
and you can see this bubble moving slightly to the other direction,
230
683212
3800
这个泡泡稍微往右偏移，
11:42
but still, an impressive improvement.
231
687012
2711
但还是有令人印象深刻的改进。
11:45
A major overhaul of Poland's education
232
689723
2586
波兰教育的主要革新
11:48
helped to dramatically reduce between variability among schools,
233
692309
3633
在于大幅度减少学校间的差异，
11:51
turn around many of the lowest-performing schools,
234
695942
2694
使很多表现不佳的学校得到重生，
11:54
and raise performance by over half a school year.
235
698636
4834
并在半年时间内就提高了教学业绩。
11:59
And you can see other countries as well.
236
703470
1791
其他一些国家也一样。
12:01
Portugal was able to consolidate its fragmented school system,
237
705261
2943
葡萄牙是能够巩固其分散的学校系统，
12:04
raise quality and improve equity,
238
708204
2992
提高质量和改善公平性，
12:07
and so did Hungary.
239
711196
1876
另外，匈牙利也做到了。
12:08
So what you can actually see, there's been a lot of change.
240
713072
3431
所以确实能看到，很多的改变。
12:12
And even those people who complain and say that
241
716503
2933
即使那些抱怨的人说
12:15
the relative standing of countries
242
719436
1689
那些相对有名次的国家
12:17
on something like PISA is just an artifact of culture,
243
721125
3422
PISA只是文化的产物，
12:20
of economic factors, of social issues,
244
724547
3042
经济因素和社会的产物，
12:23
of homogeneity of societies, and so on,
245
727589
3062
以及社会一致化的产物，等等，
12:26
these people must now concede that education improvement is possible.
246
730651
4842
这些人现在必须承认教育改良是可能。
12:31
You know, Poland hasn't changed its culture.
247
735493
3040
波兰并没有改变它的文化。
12:34
It didn't change its economy. It didn't change
248
738533
2504
没有改变它的经济，
12:36
the compositions of its population.
249
741037
2092
没有改变人口的组成。
12:39
It didn't fire its teachers. It changed its education policies
250
743129
2854
没有解雇老师。它改变了教育政策
12:41
and practice. Very impressive.
251
745983
2640
和实践。（而其教育成就）却非常引人注目。
12:44
And all that raises, of course, the question: What can we learn
252
748623
2965
所有这些给我们带来了新的命题：
12:47
from those countries in the green quadrant
253
751588
2104
我们能从这些在绿色象限的国家学到什么？
12:49
who have achieved high levels of equity,
254
753692
2275
谁做到了真正的公平?
12:51
high levels of performance, and raised outcomes?
255
755967
3732
谁取得了高水平的业绩和提高了成果？
12:55
And, of course, the question is, can what works in one context
256
759699
3914
当然，问题是，在一个环境下有效的
12:59
provide a model elsewhere?
257
763613
2716
在别的地方能用做典范吗？
13:02
Of course, you can't copy and paste education systems wholesale,
258
766329
3330
很显然，你不能把一国的教育体系生搬硬套到别国去，
13:05
but these comparisons have identified a range of factors
259
769659
3927
但这些比较也确实帮我们找出了
13:09
that high-performing systems share.
260
773586
3321
所有高效能的教育系统的共性因素。
13:12
Everybody agrees that education is important.
261
776907
2560
人人都同意教育很重要。
13:15
Everybody says that.
262
779467
1987
人人都这样说。
13:17
But the test of truth is, how do you weigh that priority
263
781454
3255
但问题是，你如何做到，
13:20
against other priorities?
264
784709
2296
“两害相权取其轻，两利相权取其重”呢？
13:22
How do countries pay their teachers
265
787005
2013
各国应如何支付他们的教师工资
13:24
relative to other highly skilled workers?
266
789018
3105
和其他高级技术工人的工资呢？
13:28
Would you want your child to become a teacher
267
792123
2485
你想让你的孩子成为老师
13:30
rather than a lawyer?
268
794608
2112
而不是律师吗？
13:32
How do the media talk about schools and teachers?
269
796720
2002
媒体应该如何报道学校和老师呢？
13:34
Those are the critical questions, and what we have learned
270
798722
2505
这些都是关键问题。而我们从PISA看到:
13:37
from PISA is that, in high-performing education systems,
271
801227
4094
在高性能的教育体系里，
13:41
the leaders have convinced their citizens to make choices
272
805321
3550
领袖们已经说服市民
13:44
that value education, their future,
273
808871
2378
重视教育，重视个人前途，
13:47
more than consumption today.
274
811249
2672
而不应该只着眼当前的消费。
13:49
And you know what's interesting? You won't believe it,
275
813921
2046
在这过程中有一些很有趣的事。说出来令人难以相信，
13:51
but there are countries in which the most attractive place
276
815967
2986
在很多国家，最吸引人的地方
13:54
to be is not the shopping center but the school.
277
818953
2920
不是购物中心而是学校。
13:57
Those things really exist.
278
821873
2267
而事实确实如此。
14:00
But placing a high value on education
279
824140
1973
高度重视教育
14:02
is just part of the picture.
280
826113
2851
只是其中的一方面。
14:04
The other part is the belief that all children
281
828964
3029
另一方面，这是基于一种信念：
14:07
are capable of success.
282
831993
3435
所有的孩子都有能力成功。
14:11
You have some countries where students
283
835428
1761
有些国家
14:13
are segregated early in their ages.
284
837189
2239
学生们很年幼时就被实施分层教学。
14:15
You know, students are divided up,
285
839428
2046
学生们被分开，
14:17
reflecting the belief that only some children
286
841474
2335
这反映了他们的信念：
14:19
can achieve world-class standards.
287
843809
3552
只有部分小子能达到世界一流的学业水准。
14:23
But usually that is linked to very strong social disparities.
288
847361
4055
但通常是有很强的社会不公有关系。
14:27
If you go to Japan in Asia, or Finland in Europe,
289
851416
3384
如果你去亚洲的日本，或欧洲的芬兰，
14:30
parents and teachers in those countries
290
854800
2106
这些国家的父母和老师们
14:32
expect every student to succeed,
291
856906
3911
期待每个学生都成功，
14:36
and you can see that actually mirrored in student behavior.
292
860817
3492
你会看到这些都会在学生的行为上表现出来。
14:40
When we asked students what counts
293
864309
2716
当我们问学生
14:42
for success in mathematics,
294
867025
2736
在数学上什么算是成功
14:45
students in North America would typically tell us,
295
869761
2392
北美的学生一般会告诉我们，
14:48
you know, it's all about talent.
296
872153
1546
就是天分啦。
14:49
If I'm not born as a genius in math, I'd better study something else.
297
873699
4626
如果我生来就不是数学天才，我最好去学别的。
14:54
Nine out of 10 Japanese students say
298
878325
2726
10个中有9个日本学生会说
14:56
that it depends on my own investment, on my own effort,
299
881051
4246
这要看我的付出和努力，
15:01
and that tells you a lot about the system that is around them.
300
885297
4735
这些都反映了他们所在的教育系统的理念。
15:05
In the past, different students were taught in similar ways.
301
890032
4809
过去，不同的学生受教方法相似。
15:10
High performers on PISA embrace diversity
302
894841
3332
PISA中的业绩突出者
15:14
with differentiated pedagogical practices.
303
898173
3748
用有因材施教的方法来接纳多元性。
15:17
They realize that
304
901921
1976
他们意识到
15:19
ordinary students have extraordinary talents,
305
903897
3144
普通的学生也有杰出的天分，
15:22
and they personalize learning opportunities.
306
907041
3360
他们把学习机会个性化。
15:26
High-performing systems also share
307
910401
2036
高性能系统也普遍认同
15:28
clear and ambitious standards across the entire spectrum.
308
912437
3606
整个范围中的明确和有抱负的标准。
15:31
Every student knows what matters.
309
916043
2202
学生们都知道什么重要。
15:34
Every student knows what's required to be successful.
310
918245
4087
学生们都知道成功需要什么。
15:38
And nowhere does the quality of an education system
311
922332
2865
没有一个地方教育系统的质量
15:41
exceed the quality of its teachers.
312
925197
2443
超过老师的质量。
15:43
High-performing systems are very careful
313
927640
3068
高性能的系统很小心地
15:46
in how they recruit and select their teachers
314
930708
2134
招聘和选择老师
15:48
and how they train them.
315
932842
1721
并培训他们。
15:50
They watch how they improve the performances of teachers
316
934563
2830
他们留意如何帮助那些
15:53
in difficulties who are struggling,
317
937393
2320
在困境中挣扎的老师提高教学效率，
15:55
and how they structure teacher pay.
318
939713
2909
和如何去核定老师的工资。
15:58
They provide an environment also in which teachers work together
319
942622
3696
他们提供一个老师们能团结工作的环境
16:02
to frame good practice.
320

去构架好的做法。
16:05
And they provide intelligent pathways for teachers to grow
321
949875
4161
他们为老师提供各种途径
16:09
in their careers.
322
954036
2115
促进教师的职业成长。
16:12
In bureaucratic school systems,
323
956151
1624
在官僚的学校体系中，
16:13
teachers are often left alone in classrooms
324
957775
1993
老师常常被孤零零留在教室里照本宣科
16:15
with a lot of prescription on what they should be teaching.
325
959768
3167
因为教师们被很多的法规束缚着教与不教什么。
16:18
High-performing systems are very clear what good performance is.
326
962935
3210
高效能的系统很清楚什么样的表现是好的。
16:22
They set very ambitious standards, but then they enable
327
966145
2774
他们设定雄心勃勃的标准，
16:24
their teachers to figure out,
328
968919
1777
但他们能让老师们去想办法弄清楚，
16:26
what do I need to teach to my students today?
329
970696
4115
我今天需要给我的学生教什么。
16:30
The past was about delivered wisdom in education.
330
974811
4546
过去教育是传递知识和智慧的桥梁。
16:35
Now the challenge is to enable user-generated wisdom.
331
979357
5242
而现在挑战在于让学生自己学习其所需的智慧。
16:40
High performers have moved on from professional
332
984599
3640
高效率的执行者已经从职业或责任控制的管理者
16:44
or from administrative forms of accountability and control --
333
988239
3664
转变成了专业的工作机构。
16:47
sort of, how do you check whether people do what they're supposed to do in education --
334
991903
3237
就好像，你如何检测
16:51
to professional forms of work organization.
335
995140
3666
人们是否做了他们应该做的事
16:54
They enable their teachers to make innovations in pedagogy.
336
998806
3872
他们鼓励老师们在教学中勇于创新。
16:58
They provide them with the kind of development they need
337
1002678
2490
他们为老师提供其所需的发展机会
17:01
to develop stronger pedagogical practices.
338
1005168
4062
去制定更有力的教学方式。
17:05
The goal of the past was standardization and compliance.
339
1009230
5658
以往的目标是标准化和服从。
17:10
High-performing systems have made teachers
340
1014888
2734
高效率的体系让老师
17:13
and school principals inventive.
341
1017622
3286
和校长们富有独创性。
17:16
In the past, the policy focus was on outcomes,
342
1020908
2699
以前，政策专注于结果，
17:19
on provision.
343
1023607
2182
专注于条规。
17:21
The high-performing systems have helped teachers
344
1025789
2803
高效率的体系帮助老师和
17:24
and school principals to look outwards to the next teacher,
345
1028592
2441
校长们放眼于他们人生中的下一个老师，
17:26
the next school around their lives.
346
1031033
2693
下一个学校。
17:29
And the most impressive outcomes of world-class systems
347
1033726
2166
世界级系统的最令人印象深刻的结果是
17:31
is that they achieve high performance across the entire system.
348
1035892
3147
他们在整个系统中实现了高性能。
17:34
You've seen Finland doing so well on PISA,
349
1039039
2197
你以看到芬兰在PISA中做的挺好，
17:37
but what makes Finland so impressive
350
1041236
1690
但芬兰给人留下深刻印象的是
17:38
is that only five percent of the performance variation
351
1042926
3977
只有5%的学生的表现
17:42
amongst students lies between schools.
352
1046903
2456
在这些学校当中有变化。
17:45
Every school succeeds.
353
1049359
2316
每个学校都成功。
17:47
This is where success is systemic.
354
1051675
2731
成功的是系统性。
17:50
And how do they do that?
355
1054406
1704
怎么做到呢？
17:52
They invest resources where they can make the most difference.
356
1056110
2692
他们给能产生最大不同的资源投资。
17:54
They attract the strongest principals into the toughest schools,
357
1058802
5108
他们吸引最强的校长放到最难的学校，
17:59
and the most talented teachers
358
1063910
2208
最有才华的老师
18:02
into the most challenging classroom.
359
1066118
1943
放进最有挑战的教室。
18:03
Last but not least, those countries align policies
360
1068061
3129
最后，这些国家调节
18:07
across all areas of public policy.
361
1071190
2220
所有地区的公共政策
18:09
They make them coherent over sustained periods of time,
362
1073410
3133
他们使之持续连贯，
18:12
and they ensure that what they do is consistently implemented.
363
1076543
4703
确保始终如一地执行。
18:17
Now, knowing what successful systems are doing
364
1081246
2304
知道了成功的系统怎么做的
18:19
doesn't yet tell us how to improve.
365
1083550
2791
并没有告诉我们如何改进。
18:22
That's also clear, and that's where some of the limits
366
1086341
2458
也很清楚，这就是PISA国际比较
18:24
of international comparisons of PISA are.
367
1088799
3475
的一些极限。
18:28
That's where other forms of research need to kick in,
368
1092274
2703
也是其他形式的研究需要介入，
18:30
and that's also why PISA doesn't venture into
369
1094977
2458
也是为什么PISA不冒险介入
18:33
telling countries what they should be doing.
370
1097435
1760
告诉这些国家它们应该做什么。
18:35
But its strength lies in telling them
371
1099195
1823
但PISA的长处在于告诉他们
18:36
what everybody else has been doing.
372
1101018
2755
别人都做了些什么。
18:39
And the example of PISA shows that data
373
1103773
2196
PISA的例子显示
18:41
can be more powerful than administrative control of financial subsidy
374
1105969
3318
数据比我们常用的通过运行教育系统
18:45
through which we usually run education systems.
375
1109287
3941
行政管理财务补贴更有威力。
18:49
You know, some people argue that
376
1113228
3038
有人会提出
18:52
changing educational administration
377
1116266
2188
改变教育行政管理
18:54
is like moving graveyards.
378
1118454
2441
就像移动墓地。
18:56
You just can't rely on the people out there to help you with this. (Laughter)
379
1120895
4887
你不能靠在外面的人来帮助。（笑）
19:01
But PISA has shown what's possible in education.
380
1125782
4867
PISA已经显示了什么在教育上是可能的。
19:06
It has helped countries to see that improvement is possible.
381
1130649
3805
它帮助很多国家看到了改进是可行的。
19:10
It has taken away excuses from those who are complacent.
382
1134454
4208
它排除了那些自满者的借口。
19:14
And it has helped countries to set meaningful targets
383
1138662
3433
它帮助一些国家设定了有意义的目标
19:17
in terms of measurable goals achieved by the world's leaders.
384
1142095
3098
也就是被世界领袖们达到了的可测量的目标。
19:21
If we can help every child, every teacher, every school,
385
1145193
4550
如果我们能够帮助每个孩子，每个老师，每间学校，
19:25
every principal, every parent see what improvement is possible,
386
1149743
3655
每个校长，每个家长看到改进是可能的，
19:29
that only the sky is the limit to education improvement,
387
1153398
2736
教育改进的空间是无限的，
19:32
we have laid the foundations
388
1156134
1896
我们已经打下了基础
19:33
for better policies and better lives.
389
1158030
2183
为了更好的政策和更好的人生。
19:36
Thank you.
390
1160213
2533
谢谢大家！

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Andreas Schleicher - Education surveyorWhat makes a great school system? To find out, Andreas Schleicher administers a test to compare student performance around the world.
Why you should listen
First, a few acronyms: Andreas Schleicher heads the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) at the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). What it means is: He's designed a test, given to hundreds of thousands of 15-year-olds around the world (the most recent covered almost 70 nations), that offers unprecedented insight into how well national education systems are preparing their students for adult life. As The Atlantic puts it, the PISA test "measured not students’ retention of facts, but their readiness for 'knowledge worker' jobs—their ability to think critically and solve real-world problems."
The results of the PISA test, given every three years, are fed back to governments and schools so they can work on improving their ranking. And the data has inspired Schleicher to become a vocal advocate for the policy changes that, his research suggests, make for great schools.
