进入西南交通大学,为人师,思考大学教育,感想很多。我认为大学教育最重要的是独立或者说自由的精神,独立思考尤为难得。大学其实是一个能够冷静下来独立思考的天堂。求学期间,学子不用为生计而奔波,可以客观、可以超脱、独立。大学——这个象牙塔般的存在,就是为了保护这种独立思考而存在的。现今都在讨论大数据、大时代,然而大学生是缺少自我的,他们没有自己的时间和独立的判断,也没有自己的选择和品味。 When I entered Southwest Jiaotong University, I became a teacher and thought about university education. I felt a lot of thoughts. I think the most important aspect of university education is the spirit of independence or freedom. It is particularly rare to think independently. The university is actually a paradise that can calm down and think independently. During school, students need not run around for a living. They can be objective, detached and independent. The existence of the University, the ivory tower, exists to protect this independent thinking. Nowadays we are talking about big data and a big era. However, college students are self-conscious. They do not have their own time and independent judgment, nor do they have their own choices and tastes.
