这是一件真实而又引人深思的小事。不久前,一位法国教育心理学专家,给法国的小学生和上海的小学生先后出了下面这道完全一样的测试题:一艘船上有86头牛,34只羊,问:这艘船的船长年纪有多大?法国小学生的回答情况是,超过90%的同学提出了异议,认为这道测试题根本没办法回答,甚至嘲笑老师的“糊涂”。显而易见,这些学生的回答是对的。上海小学生的回答情况恰恰相反:有80%的同学认真地做出了答案:86岁、34岁、52岁。只有10%的同学认为此题非常荒谬,无法解答。
This is a real and thought-provoking little thing. Not long ago, a French educational psychology expert gave French primary school students and Shanghai primary school students the following identical test item: 86 cattle and 34 sheep on a ship. Q: The captain of this ship How old are you? The answer given by French pupils is that more than 90% of the students raised objections that there is no way to answer this question or even ridicule the teacher’s “confusion”. Obviously, these students answered right. Shanghai students answered exactly the opposite situation: 80% of students made the answer carefully: 86 years old, 34 years old, 52 years old. Only 10% of students think this is a ridiculous question and can not answer it.
