So I'll be talking about the success of my campus,
0
536
4062
我想談論的是本校的成就
00:16
the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, UMBC,
1
4598
2750
馬里蘭大學巴爾的摩分校，UMBC
00:19
in educating students of all types,
2
7348
3191
它教育各種類型的學生
00:22
across the arts and humanities and the science and engineering areas.
3
10539
4127
涵蓋藝術、人文、科學及工程領域
00:26
What makes our story especially important
4
14666
4078
我們的故事格外重要的原因是
00:30
is that we have learned so much from a group of students
5
18744
5208
我們從這群學生身上學到許多東西
00:35
who are typically not at the top of the academic ladder --
6
23952
3347
他們並非典型的學術佼佼者－
00:39
students of color, students underrepresented in selected areas.
7
27299
3998
例如有色人種學生
某些領域中的弱勢學生
某些領域中的弱勢學生
00:43
And what makes the story especially unique
8
31297
2851
這個故事格外獨特的原因是
00:46
is that we have learned how to help African-American students, Latino students,
9
34148
4834
我們學會如何幫助
非裔美籍學生、拉丁裔學生
非裔美籍學生、拉丁裔學生
00:50
students from low-income backgrounds,
10
38982
1804
低收入家庭學生
00:52
to become some of the best in the world in science and engineering.
11
40786
3458
成為世上頂尖的理工人才
00:56
And so I begin with a story about my childhood.
12
44244
3470
因此我打算以我童年的故事作為開場白
00:59
We all are products of our childhood experiences.
13
47714
3072
我們都深受童年經歷影響
01:02
It's hard for me to believe that it's been 50 years
14
50786
4178
很難想像這已是50年前的往事
01:06
since I had the experience of being a ninth grade kid in Birmingham, Alabama,
15
54964
5906
當時我是
阿拉巴馬州伯明罕的九年級學生
阿拉巴馬州伯明罕的九年級學生
01:12
a kid who loved getting A's,
16
60870
2167
一位喜愛拿 A 的孩子
01:15
a kid who loved math, who loved to read,
17
63037
2687
一位喜愛數學及閱讀的孩子
01:17
a kid who would say to the teacher --
18
65724
2729
一位會對老師這麼說的孩子－
01:20
when the teacher said, "Here are 10 problems," to the class,
19
68453
3256
當老師對全班說 :「作業是10個習題」
01:23
this little fat kid would say, "Give us 10 more."
20
71709
4081
這名胖小子會說 :「再多給我們10個」
01:27
And the whole class would say, "Shut up, Freeman."
21
75790
3312
全班同學會說 :「閉嘴，Freeman」
01:31
And there was a designated kicker every day.
22
79102
3614
每天有一位同學負責踹我椅背
01:34
And so I was always asking this question:
23
82716
1881
因此我總是抱著這個疑問：
01:36
"Well how could we get more kids to really love to learn?"
24
84597
5957
「如何才能使更多孩子真心喜愛學習？」
01:42
And amazingly, one week in church,
25
90554
3118
令人驚訝的是，某個週末，在教會裡
01:45
when I really didn't want to be there
26
93672
2082
我根本不想待在那裡
01:47
and I was in the back of the room being placated by doing math problems,
27
95754
5101
我被安置在房間後方做數學習題
01:52
I heard this man say this:
28
100855
2436
我聽見某人說：
01:55
"If we can get the children
29
103291
2482
「如果我們能讓孩子
01:57
to participate in this peaceful demonstration here in Birmingham,
30
105773
5997
參加伯明罕的和平示威
02:03
we can show America that even children know the difference between right and wrong
31
111770
5401
就能讓美國人民瞭解
甚至連孩子也明白是非之分
甚至連孩子也明白是非之分
02:09
and that children really do want to get the best possible education."
32
117171
4733
孩子確實希望盡可能獲得最好的教育」
02:13
And I looked up and said, "Who is that man?"
33
121904
1721
我抬起頭來，問道 :「那個人是誰？」
02:15
And they said his name was Dr. Martin Luther King.
34
123625
3129
他們說他是馬丁‧路德‧金恩博士
02:18
And I said to my parents, "I've got to go.
35
126754
1931
我對父母說 :「我非去不可」
02:20
I want to go. I want to be a part of this."
36
128685
1569
「我想去，我想參加」
02:22
And they said, "Absolutely not."
37
130254
1870
他們說 :「想都別想」
02:24
(Laughter)
38
132124
1213
（笑聲）
02:25
And we had a rough go of it.
39
133337
1918
所以我們發生了一些摩擦
02:27
And at that time, quite frankly, you really did not talk back to your parents.
40
135255
3453
坦白說，當時孩子不太跟父母頂嘴
02:30
And somehow I said, "You know, you guys are hypocrites.
41
138708
2287
於是我說 :「知道嗎，你們都是偽君子」
02:32
You make me go to this. You make me listen.
42
140995
1977
「你們要我上教堂、要我聽話」
02:34
The man wants me to go, and now you say no."
43
142972
2234
「那個人希望我參加，你們卻不允許」
02:37
And they thought about it all night.
44
145206
1748
他們考慮了一整晚
02:38
And they came into my room the next morning.
45
146954
2134
隔天早上，他們走進我房間
02:41
They had not slept.
46
149088
1500
他們徹夜未眠
02:42
They had been literally crying and praying and thinking,
47
150588
2516
他們整晚哭泣、祈禱和思考
02:45
"Will we let our 12-year-old
48
153104
3560
「我們該讓12歲兒子
02:48
participate in this march and probably have to go to jail?"
49
156664
4152
參加這場遊行，搞不好進監獄嗎？」
02:52
And they decided to do it.
50
160816
1689
他們決定讓我參加
02:54
And when they came in to tell me,
51
162505
1382
當他們進房告訴我時
02:55
I was at first elated.
52
163887
1785
起初我十分興奮
02:57
And then all of a sudden I began thinking about the dogs and the fire hoses,
53
165672
3932
接著我突然想起警犬和消防水管之類的
03:01
and I got really scared, I really did.
54
169604
2882
我開始害怕起來，嚇得要命
03:04
And one of the points I make to people all the time
55
172486
2102
我經常與眾人分享的其中一個領悟是
03:06
is that sometimes when people do things that are courageous,
56
174588
3235
有時，當人們做出勇敢的事
03:09
it doesn't really mean that they're that courageous.
57
177823
2349
並不意味著他們真的那麼勇敢
03:12
It simply means that they believe it's important to do it.
58
180172
2848
只是意味著他們認為這件事十分重要
03:15
I wanted a better education.
59
183020
1751
我想擁有更好的教育
03:16
I did not want to have to have hand-me-down books.
60
184771
3233
我不想只能擁有別人剩下不要的書籍
03:20
I wanted to know that the school I attended
61
188004
2483
我想知道我就讀的學校裡
03:22
not only had good teachers, but the resources we needed.
62
190487
2425
不僅有好老師，也有我們所需的資源
03:24
And as a result of that experience,
63
192912
1676
而因為這場經歷
03:26
in the middle of the week, while I was there in jail,
64
194588
2334
我仍在監獄的那週
03:28
Dr. King came and said with our parents,
65
196922
2550
金恩博士對孩子們的父母說 :
03:31
"What you children do this day
66
199472
2965
「你們孩子當天所做的事
03:34
will have an impact on children who have not been born."
67
202437
4584
將影響所有尚未出生的孩子」
03:39
I recently realized that two-thirds of Americans today
68
207021
4935
我最近赫然發覺，目前三分之二的美國人
03:43
had not been born at the time of 1963.
69
211956
3514
1963年時尚未出生
03:47
And so for them, when they hear about the Children's Crusade in Birmingham,
70
215470
2941
因此對他們來說
當他們耳聞伯明罕兒童十字軍運動時
當他們耳聞伯明罕兒童十字軍運動時
03:50
in many ways, if they see it on TV,
71
218411
2262
以許多方面來說
他們在電視上看見相關報導
他們在電視上看見相關報導
03:52
it's like our looking at the 1863 "Lincoln" movie:
72
220673
3414
就像我們觀賞
描述1863年的電影《林肯》一樣
描述1863年的電影《林肯》一樣
03:56
It's history.
73
224087
1434
這已成為歷史
03:57
And the real question is, what lessons did we learn?
74
225521
2973
真正的問題是，我們得到什麼教訓？
04:00
Well amazingly, the most important for me was this:
75
228494
2892
令人驚訝地，對我來說，最重要的是 :
04:03
That children can be empowered to take ownership of their education.
76
231386
5300
孩子有權主宰他們的教育
04:08
They can be taught to be passionate
77
236686
2351
我們能夠教他們
04:11
about wanting to learn and to love the idea of asking questions.
78
239037
4541
對於學習及提問充滿熱情
04:15
And so it is especially significant
79
243578
2795
因此這具有十分重要的意義 :
04:18
that the university I now lead,
80
246373
2086
我目前領導的大學
04:20
the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, UMBC,
81
248459
2795
馬里蘭大學巴爾的摩分校，UMBC
04:23
was founded the very year I went to jail with Dr. King, in 1963.
82
251254
5786
成立於我與金恩博士入獄的同年，1963年
04:29
And what made that institutional founding especially important
83
257040
4170
創立這間機構格外重要的原因是
04:33
is that Maryland is the South, as you know,
84
261210
4534
如各位所知，馬里蘭州位於南方
04:37
and, quite frankly, it was the first university in our state
85
265744
4582
坦白說，它是當時本州第一所
04:42
founded at a time when students of all races could go there.
86
270326
4076
所有種族學生都能就讀的大學
04:46
And so we had black and white students and others who began to attend.
87
274402
3573
因此黑人、白人
及其他人種學生均前來就讀
及其他人種學生均前來就讀
04:49
And it has been for 50 years an experiment.
88
277975
4185
它如同進行了50年的實驗
04:54
The experiment is this:
89
282160
1700
實驗內容是：
04:55
Is it possible to have institutions in our country, universities,
90
283860
3959
我國是否可能成立教育機構及大學
04:59
where people from all backgrounds can come and learn
91
287819
2937
讓不同背景的人前來就讀、學習
05:02
and learn to work together and learn to become leaders
92
290756
3583
學習彼此合作、學習成為領袖
05:06
and to support each other in that experience?
93
294339
3573
學習互相支持？
05:09
Now what is especially important about that experience for me is this:
94
297912
4915
對我來說，這個經驗格外重要的原因是
05:14
We found that we could do a lot in the arts and humanities and social sciences.
95
302827
4668
我們一開始發現可在藝術
人文及社會科學方面下功夫
人文及社會科學方面下功夫
05:19
And so we began to work on that, for years in the '60s.
96
307495
2556
因此我們於60年代開始致力於這項工作
05:22
And we produced a number of people in law, all the way to the humanities.
97
310051
3783
我們培育了許多法律及人文領域的人才
05:25
We produced great artists. Beckett is our muse.
98
313834
2633
我們培育出傑出的藝術家
Beckett（著名劇作家）是我們的靈感來源
Beckett（著名劇作家）是我們的靈感來源
05:28
A lot of our students get into theater.
99
316467
1537
本校許多學生進入劇院工作
05:30
It's great work.
100
318004
1000
這是一項了不起的成就
05:31
The problem that we faced was the same problem America continues to face --
101
319004
4032
但我們面臨的問題
即美國長久以來面臨的問題－
即美國長久以來面臨的問題－
05:35
that students in the sciences and engineering,
102
323036
1847
在於學習理工科目
05:36
black students were not succeeding.
103
324883
2111
黑人學生很難順利畢業
05:38
But when I looked at the data,
104
326994
1751
但瀏覽這些數據時
05:40
what I found was that, quite frankly, students in general,
105
328745
3332
我發現的是，一般而言
05:44
large numbers were not making it.
106
332077
1623
大多數學生均無法順利完成這門學科
05:45
And as a result of that,
107
333700
1918
因此
05:47
we decided to do something that would help, first of all,
108
335618
3334
我們決定做些能提供幫助的事
05:50
the group at the bottom, African-American students, and then Hispanic students.
109
338952
4217
首先針對弱勢族群－
非裔美籍學生、西班牙裔學生
非裔美籍學生、西班牙裔學生
05:55
And Robert and Jane Meyerhoff, philanthropists, said, "We'd like to help."
110
343169
4331
慈善家 Robert 及 Jane Meyerhoff 說
「我們願意提供協助」
「我們願意提供協助」
05:59
Robert Meyerhoff said, "Why is it that everything I see on TV about black boys,
111
347500
3453
Robert Meyerhoff 說 :
「為何當電視上出現黑人男孩時
「為何當電視上出現黑人男孩時
06:02
if it's not about basketball, is not positive?
112
350953
2798
只要跟籃球無關，全是負面的報導？」
06:05
I'd like to make a difference, to do something that's positive."
113
353751
2632
「我想改變這一點，提供某些正面影響」
06:08
We married those ideas, and we created this Meyerhoff Scholars program.
114
356383
3667
我們整合所有想法
設立 Meyerhoff 獎學金計畫
設立 Meyerhoff 獎學金計畫
06:12
And what is significant about the program
115
360050
2069
這個計畫讓我們從中學到許多
06:14
is that we learned a number of things.
116
362119
2481
這個計畫讓我們從中學到許多
06:16
And the question is this:
117
364600
1352
所以最重要的問題是 :
06:17
How is it that now we lead the country in producing African-Americans
118
365952
4465
我們如何成為引領全國
培育非裔美籍學生
培育非裔美籍學生
06:22
who go on to complete Ph.D.'s in science and engineering and M.D./Ph.D.'s?
119
370417
4850
完成理工博士或醫學博士學位的學校？
06:27
That's a big deal. Give me a hand for that. That's a big deal.
120
375267
2649
這是一個大成就
請給我一點掌聲，這是一個大成就
請給我一點掌聲，這是一個大成就
06:29
That's a big deal. It really is.
121
377916
2235
這是一大成就，確實如此
06:32
(Applause)
122
380151
2576
（掌聲）
06:34
You see, most people don't realize
123
382727
1944
其實，大多數人並不瞭解
06:36
that it's not just minorities who don't do well in science and engineering.
124
384671
4050
並非僅有少數族裔學生
無法順利完成理工學業
無法順利完成理工學業
06:40
Quite frankly, you're talking about Americans.
125
388721
3617
坦白說，美籍學生之中
06:44
If you don't know it, while 20 percent of blacks and Hispanics
126
392338
3448
如果各位不清楚這一點
僅有20%最初主修理工科的
僅有20%最初主修理工科的
06:47
who begin with a major in science and engineering
127
395786
2335
黑人及西班牙裔美國人
06:50
will actually graduate in science and engineering,
128
398121
2152
順利取得理工學位
06:52
only 32 percent of whites who begin with majors in those areas
129
400273
3554
主修這些學科的白人，僅有32%
06:55
actually succeed and graduate in those areas,
130
403827
2658
順利於這些領域畢業
06:58
and only 42 percent of Asian-Americans.
131
406485
2105
而僅有42%亞裔美國人能順利畢業
07:00
And so, the real question is, what is the challenge?
132
408590
2611
因此真正的問題是，其中的挑戰為何？
07:03
Well a part of it, of course, is K-12.
133
411201
2387
其中一部分當然是 K-12 教育
（幼稚園到12年級）
（幼稚園到12年級）
07:05
We need to strengthen K-12.
134
413588
1949
我們必須加強 K-12 教育
07:07
But the other part has to do with the culture
135
415537
2296
但另一部分
07:09
of science and engineering on our campuses.
136
417833
2660
與校園中的理工文化有關
07:12
Whether you know it or not, large numbers of students with high SAT's
137
420493
3845
無論各位是否知道
許多SAT分數極高的學生
許多SAT分數極高的學生
07:16
and large numbers of A.P. credits
138
424338
1465
許多 A.P.（先修課程）成績極佳的學生
07:17
who go to the most prestigious universities in our country
139
425803
2702
就讀我國最負盛名的大學
07:20
begin in pre-med or pre-engineering and engineering, and they end up changing their majors.
140
428505
4831
最初主修醫學或工程預科
最後卻改變主修科目
最後卻改變主修科目
07:25
And the number one reason, we find, quite frankly,
141
433336
2466
我們發現主要原因，坦白說
07:27
is they did not do well in first year science courses.
142
435802
2950
在於他們無法順利完成大一科學課程
07:30
In fact, we call first year science and engineering, typically around America,
143
438752
3783
事實上，在美國
我們通常稱大一理工課程為
我們通常稱大一理工課程為
07:34
weed-out courses or barrier courses.
144
442535
2134
「淘汰課程」或「障礙課程」
07:36
How many of you in this audience know somebody
145
444669
1768
在座有多少聽眾認識某個
07:38
who started off in pre-med or engineering
146
446437
1815
最初主修醫學或工程預科的人
07:40
and changed their major within a year or two?
147
448252
1885
於一、兩年後改變主修科目？
07:42
It's an American challenge. Half of you in the room.
148
450137
1798
這是美國面臨的挑戰，半數聽眾聽說過
07:43
I know. I know. I know.
149
451935
1401
我瞭解、我瞭解…
07:45
And what is interesting about that
150
453336
1658
令人感興趣的是
07:46
is that so many students are smart and can do it.
151
454994
2710
許多學生其實十分聰明，能克服這個障礙
07:49
We need to find ways of making it happen.
152
457704
2266
我們需要找到幫助他們的方法
07:51
So what are the four things we did to help minority students
153
459970
2607
因此我們幫助少數族裔學生的四種方法－
07:54
that now are helping students in general?
154
462577
1809
現在也對一般學生有所幫助
07:56
Number one: high expectations.
155
464386
1867
第一點 : 高度期望
07:58
It takes an understanding of the academic preparation of students --
156
466253
4505
我們需要瞭解學生的學習狀況
08:02
their grades, the rigor of the course work,
157
470758
2344
他們的成績、寫作業的用心程度
08:05
their test-taking skills, their attitude,
158
473102
2451
考試技巧、學習態度
08:07
the fire in their belly, the passion for the work, to make it.
159
475553
2725
瞭解他們對學業的
熱誠及熱情才能做到這一點
熱誠及熱情才能做到這一點
08:10
And so doing things to help students prepare to be in that position, very important.
160
478278
4241
因此幫助學生達成這個目標十分重要
08:14
But equally important, it takes an understanding that it's hard work that makes the difference.
161
482519
5099
但同樣重要的是
他們必須瞭解，用功將使情況改觀
他們必須瞭解，用功將使情況改觀
08:19
I don't care how smart you are or how smart you think you are.
162
487618
2518
我不在乎你多聰明或自以為多聰明
08:22
Smart simply means you're ready to learn.
163
490136
2367
聰明僅意味著你準備開始學習
08:24
You're excited about learning and you want to ask good questions.
164
492503
3242
學習令你興致勃勃，你渴望提出好問題
08:27
I. I. Rabi, a Nobel laureate, said that when he was growing up in New York,
165
495745
4287
諾貝爾獎得主 I.I.Rabi 說
他於紐約成長的過程中
他於紐約成長的過程中
08:32
all of his friends' parents would ask them
166
500032
2546
所有朋友的父母都會問孩子 :
08:34
"What did you learn in school?" at the end of a day.
167
502578
2642
「你在學校學了什麼？」當一天結束後
08:37
And he said, in contrast, his Jewish mother would say,
168
505220
3537
他說，相反地，他的猶太裔母親會問 :
08:40
"Izzy, did you ask a good question today?"
169
508757
3062
「Izzy，你今天是否問了好問題？」
08:43
And so high expectations have to do with curiosity
170
511819
2699
因此高度期望與好奇心
08:46
and encouraging young people to be curious.
171
514518
2518
及鼓勵年輕人擁有好奇心有關
08:49
And as a result of those high expectations,
172
517036
1516
為了達成高度期望的目標
08:50
we began to find students we wanted to work with
173
518552
2667
我們開始尋找需要協助的學生
08:53
to see what could we do to help them,
174
521219
1693
看看能提供何種幫助
08:54
not simply to survive in science and engineering,
175
522912
2540
不僅使他們克服理工科障礙
08:57
but to become the very best, to excel.
176
525452
2934
也使他們成為最棒、最傑出的學生
09:00
Interestingly enough, an example:
177
528386
1817
以下是個有趣的例子
09:02
One young man who earned a C in the first course and wanted to go on to med school,
178
530203
4902
一名在第一學期
拿C的小伙子想繼續唸醫學院
拿C的小伙子想繼續唸醫學院
09:07
we said, "We need to have you retake the course,
179
535105
2115
我們說 :「你必須重修這學期課程」
09:09
because you need a strong foundation if you're going to move to the next level."
180
537220
3784
「因為如果你打算進入
下個階段，就需要紮實的基礎」
下個階段，就需要紮實的基礎」
09:13
Every foundation makes the difference in the next level.
181
541004
3031
「每一門基礎課程
對下個階段來說都是關鍵」
對下個階段來說都是關鍵」
09:16
He retook the course.
182
544035
1141
他重修了那個學期
09:17
That young man went on to graduate from UMBC,
183
545176
2429
那名小伙子順利從UMBC畢業
09:19
to become the first black to get the M.D./Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania.
184
547605
4197
成為首位獲得賓州大學醫學博士的黑人
09:23
He now works at Harvard.
185
551802
1206
他現在任職於哈佛大學
09:25
Nice story. Give him a hand for that too.
186
553008
2447
很棒的故事，也請給他一點掌聲
09:27
(Applause)
187
555455
2430
（掌聲）
09:29
Secondly, it's not about test scores only.
188
557886
2495
第二點、考試成績並非唯一
09:32
Test scores are important, but they're not the most important thing.
189
560381
1989
考試成績很重要，但並非最重要的事
09:34
One young woman had great grades, but test scores were not as high.
190
562370
3045
有位女學生
學習態度很好，但考試分數不高
學習態度很好，但考試分數不高
09:37
But she had a factor that was very important.
191
565415
2049
但她擁有一項十分重要的特質
09:39
She never missed a day of school, K-12.
192
567464
3248
K-12 教育過程中，她從未缺課過
09:42
There was fire in that belly.
193
570712
1421
這是對學習的熱誠
09:44
That young woman went on, and she is today with an M.D./Ph.D. from Hopkins.
194
572133
4124
那名女孩孜孜不倦地學習
現在是約翰‧霍普金斯大學醫學博士
現在是約翰‧霍普金斯大學醫學博士
09:48
She's on the faculty, tenure track in psychiatry, Ph.D. in neuroscience.
195
576257
4187
她擔任教職，擁有精神病學
終身教職及神經科學博士學位
終身教職及神經科學博士學位
09:52
She and her adviser have a patent on a second use of Viagra for diabetes patients.
196
580475
4811
她和她的指導教授擁有治療
糖尿病患者的威而鋼第二用途專利
糖尿病患者的威而鋼第二用途專利
09:57
Big hand for her. Big hand for her.
197
585286
2485
請給她熱烈的掌聲…
09:59
(Applause)
198
587771
1386
（掌聲）
10:01
And so high expectations, very important.
199
589157
2520
因此高度期望十分重要
10:03
Secondly, the idea of building community among the students.
200
591677
2859
其次是建立學生社群的想法
10:06
You all know that so often in science and engineering
201
594536
2767
你們都知道，以理工科來說
10:09
we tend to think cutthroat.
202
597303
1691
我們一向認為它十分棘手
10:10
Students are not taught to work in groups.
203
598994
2316
我們並未教導學生以團體的方式學習
10:13
And that's what we work to do with that group
204
601310
1892
這就是我們成立學生社群的原因
10:15
to get them to understand each other,
205
603202
1503
使他們瞭解彼此
10:16
to build trust among them, to support each other,
206
604705
2623
建立彼此間的信任，使他們互相支持
10:19
to learn how to ask good questions,
207
607328
1709
學習如何提出好問題
10:21
but also to learn how to explain concepts with clarity.
208
609037
3487
但同時學習如何清楚解釋自己的想法
10:24
As you know, it's one thing to earn an A yourself,
209
612524
2263
如各位所知，靠自己的力量拿 A 是一回事
10:26
it's another thing to help someone else do well.
210
614787
2125
協助他人取得好成績則是另一回事
10:28
And so to feel that sense of responsibility makes all the difference in the world.
211
616912
3915
因此這種責任感將使整個情況改觀
10:32
So building community among those students, very important.
212
620827
2947
因此建立學生社群十分重要
10:35
Third, the idea of, it takes researchers to produce researchers.
213
623774
4804
第三個想法是
藉由研究人員培育研究人員
藉由研究人員培育研究人員
10:40
Whether you're talking about artists producing artists
214
628578
2529
無論是藉由藝術家培育藝術家
10:43
or you're talking about people getting into the social sciences,
215
631107
2915
或鼓勵學生投入社會科學
10:46
whatever the discipline -- and especially in science and engineering, as in art, for example --
216
634022
4847
無論哪門學科－
尤其是理工科，如同藝術
尤其是理工科，如同藝術
10:50
you need scientists to pull the students into the work.
217
638869
2803
我們需要科學家帶領學生進入這門領域
10:53
And so our students are working in labs regularly.
218
641672
2740
因此本校學生經常在實驗室裡埋頭苦幹
10:56
And one great example that you'll appreciate:
219
644412
2374
以下是個很棒的例子
10:58
During a snowstorm in Baltimore several years ago,
220
646786
3060
幾年前，巴爾的摩暴風雪期間
11:01
the guy on our campus with this Howard Hughes Medical Institute grant
221
649846
3620
本校接受霍華休斯
醫學研究中心資助的研究人員
醫學研究中心資助的研究人員
11:05
literally came back to work in his lab after several days,
222
653466
4424
幾天後回實驗室工作
11:09
and all these students had refused to leave the lab.
223
657890
3293
發現所有學生都不肯離開實驗室
11:13
They had food they had packed out.
224
661183
2084
他們佔據了整個實驗室
11:15
They were in the lab working,
225
663267
1315
他們在實驗室裡埋頭苦幹
11:16
and they saw the work, not as schoolwork, but as their lives.
226
664582
4001
對他們來說實驗並非作業，而是生活
11:20
They knew they were working on AIDS research.
227
668583
1912
他們知道自己正進行愛滋病研究
11:22
They were looking at this amazing protein design.
228
670495
3208
他們觀察令人驚嘆的蛋白質設計
11:25
And what was interesting was each one of them focused on that work.
229
673703
4333
令人感興趣的是
每位學生都專注於這項研究
每位學生都專注於這項研究
11:30
And he said, "It doesn't get any better than that."
230
678036
2166
研究人員說 :「沒有什麼比這更棒的事了」
11:32
And then finally, if you've got the community
231
680202
2085
最後，當擁有社群
11:34
and you've got the high expectations and you've got researchers producing researchers,
232
682287
3613
擁有高度期望
和作育英才的研究人員後
和作育英才的研究人員後
11:37
you have to have people who are willing as faculty
233
685900
2888
必須擁有好老師
11:40
to get involved with those students, even in the classroom.
234
688788
3063
願意關懷學生，即使在課堂中
11:43
I'll never forget a faculty member calling the staff and saying,
235
691851
2448
我永遠忘不了一位老師對輔導人員說 :
11:46
"I've got this young man in class, a young black guy,
236
694299
2445
「我班上有個小夥子，一位黑人」
11:48
and he seems like he's just not excited about the work.
237
696744
3040
「似乎對學習興趣缺缺」
11:51
He's not taking notes. We need to talk to him."
238
699784
2235
「根本不寫筆記，我們得跟他談談」
11:54
What was significant was that the faculty member was observing every student
239
702019
3872
重點是老師得觀察每位學生
11:57
to understand who was really involved and who was not
240
705891
2916
瞭解學生是否確實投入課程
12:00
and was saying, "Let me see how I can work with them.
241
708807
2367
然後說 :「看看我能如何帶動他們」
12:03
Let me get the staff to help me out."
242
711174
1237
「我可以向輔導人員尋求協助」
12:04
It was that connecting.
243
712411
1152
這是一種聯繫
12:05
That young man today is actually a faculty member M.D./Ph.D. in neuroengineering at Duke.
244
713563
4932
那名小伙子已取得醫學博士學位
現在任教於杜克大學神經工程系
現在任教於杜克大學神經工程系
12:10
Give him a big hand for that.
245
718495
1212
請給他熱烈的掌聲
12:11
(Applause)
246
719707
1996
（掌聲）
12:13
And so the significance is that we have now developed this model
247
721703
4820
因此重點在於我們開發了這種模式
12:18
that is helping us, not only finally with evaluation, assessing what works.
248
726523
4165
不僅協助我們進行評估
評估哪些做法行得通
評估哪些做法行得通
12:22
And what we learned was that we needed to think about redesigning courses.
249
730688
3432
我們領悟到的是
我們必須考慮重新設計課程
我們必須考慮重新設計課程
12:26
And so we redesigned chemistry, we redesigned physics.
250
734120
2541
因此我們重新設計了化學及物理課程
12:28
But now we are looking at redesigning the humanities and social sciences.
251
736661
3661
但現在我們致力於
重新設計人文及社會科學課程
重新設計人文及社會科學課程
12:32
Because so many students are bored in class.
252
740322
2547
因為太多學生對課程興趣缺缺
12:34
Do you know that?
253
742869
1180
你們知道嗎？
12:36
Many students, K-12 and in universities,
254
744049
1946
許多學生，包括 K-12 學生及大學生
12:37
don't want to just sit there and listen to somebody talk.
255
745995
2505
不願只是坐在課堂上聽課
12:40
They need to be engaged.
256
748500
1370
他們需要參與
12:41
And so we have done -- if you look at our website at the Chemistry Discovery Center,
257
749870
3450
因此我們所做的是－
如果各位瀏覽我們的化學探索中心網站
如果各位瀏覽我們的化學探索中心網站
12:45
you'll see people coming from all over the country
258
753320
1965
將看見全國各地的人
12:47
to look at how we are redesigning courses,
259
755285
2579
前來觀看我們如何重新設計課程
12:49
having an emphasis on collaboration, use of technology,
260
757864
3491
強調合作的重要、科技的運用
12:53
using problems out of our biotech companies on our campus,
261
761355
3230
在課程中使用生技公司提出的問題
12:56
and not giving students the theories,
262
764585
2030
並非僅教導學生理論
12:58
but having them struggle with those theories.
263
766615
2232
而是教導他們對理論提出質疑
13:00
And it's working so well that throughout our university system in Maryland,
264
768847
3659
效果非常棒
在整個馬里蘭州大學系統中
在整個馬里蘭州大學系統中
13:04
more and more courses are being redesigned.
265
772506
2041
進行重新設計的課程與日俱增
13:06
It's called academic innovation.
266
774547
1834
這就是所謂的學術創新
13:08
And what does all of that mean?
267
776381
1205
這一切意味著什麼？
13:09
It means that now, not just in science and engineering,
268
777586
2843
意味著不僅是理工科
13:12
we now have programs in the arts, in the humanities, in the social sciences,
269
780429
4108
我們現在將這個計畫
推廣到藝術、人文及社會科學領域
推廣到藝術、人文及社會科學領域
13:16
in teacher education, even particularly for women in I.T.
270
784537
4592
推廣到師資教育領域
甚至－尤其是IT領域的女性
甚至－尤其是IT領域的女性
13:21
If you don't know it, there's been a 79-percent decline
271
789129
4087
如果各位不知道
主修計算機科學的女性人數
主修計算機科學的女性人數
13:25
in the number of women majoring in computer science just since 2000.
272
793216
4118
自從 2000 年以來已下降 79 %
13:29
And what I'm saying is that what will make the difference
273
797334
3313
我認為將使情況改觀的做法
13:32
will be building community among students,
274
800647
2555
是藉由建立學生社群
13:35
telling young women, young minority students and students in general,
275
803202
2996
告訴年輕女性、少數族裔學生及一般學生
13:38
you can do this work.
276
806198
1249
你們辦得到
13:39
And most important, giving them a chance to build that community
277
807447
3270
最重要的是給予他們建立社群的機會
13:42
with faculty pulling them into the work
278
810717
2163
讓老師帶領他們進入這個領域
13:44
and our assessing what works and what does not work.
279
812880
