Plenary Speeches 论坛演讲
许美德教授(加拿大多伦多大学)
亚洲高等教育传统:对于教师意味着什么?
In her presentation, Professor Ruth Hayhoe pointed out that the shuyuan were deeply shaped in spirit, curriculum, organizational pattern and finances by the monastic communities established by Chinese monks. The shuyuan spirit had also influenced many progressive Chinese scholars who shaped China’s early modern universities. The shuyuan spirit that contemporary teachers could learn from include: a genuine care for human moral and spiritual wellbeing, close relations between teachers and students, a commitment to human flourishing for all, harmony within diversity, Normal School as the model for society.
Ruth Hayhoe教授在她的演讲中指出,中国僧侣建立的修道院社区对中国书院精神,课程,组织模式和财务方面都有着深刻的影响。书院精神影响了许多中国早期推动现代大学建立与进步的中国学者。 当代教师可以学习的书院精神包括:真正关心人类的道德和精神福祉,师生之间的密切关系,人类对所有人的繁荣,多样性的和谐。师范学校应该作为社会的典范。
