提起社会实践,大家脑子里可能想到的是学校规定、实习、找工作等这些比较功利的字眼。可是如果撇开这些因素,我们还需要社会实践吗?以下两篇关于中学生走出课堂的报道给了我们肯定的回答。
Seeing Is Believing眼见为实
While many students in the 1)Wabash Valley enjoyed the day off, others traded books and pencils for 2)rafts and oars. A little cool rain and cool weather could not discourage a hands-on experience of the Valley’s 3)namesake.
Reporter: Class in the great outdoors.
A rite of passage for every eighth-grader in Sullivan County, rafting and learning down the Wabash River.
Student A: It’s very fun. It’s kinda sad how much pollution’s in there.
Reporter: Although many students have lived near the river all their lives, for most it’s their first experience on the water, and they are surprised by what they see.
Student B: It’s, it’s sad, all the....There’s tires an’ a bus an’ a bunch o’ stuff on the river.
Reporter: About 300 eighth-graders make the one-day trip from Riverview, near Fairbanks, down to Hudsonville. Learning about the history of the area as well as water quality and testing. It’s a conclusion of a week’s worth of work in the classroom.
John Gettinger (8th Grade Teacher): Kids don’t get a chance to come out and enjoy nature like this, and so this is really a good thing for us.
Reporter: It’s fun, but it doesn’t come free. It cost $8,500 for the three trips combined, but organizers say without the help of more than 100 volunteers and countless support from the community it would cost more than $45,000.
Judy Bengochea (Sullivan Co. Soil & Water CNSRV): It’s really gratifying to see the community come out like this, and for the kids.
Reporter: It’s the ninth year for the trip. Bengoachea hopes this crop of kids has a different attitude about the environment at the end, one they will share with their parents.
Student A: And I’ve seen it several times, but never actually in the middle of it.
Student B: I never thought it’d be like this polluted. Everything is just pretty bad.
Reporter: And that view is the payoff for all those involved.
Building Is Learning动手创造
High school students in 4)Loving get an opportunity to build a variety of skills while building a home from the ground up. Joe Bartels visited the town today, where students cut the ribbon on their major project, which also features a lot of new technology.
Reporter: Students finally got a chance to show off the project they’d been working so hard to create. A new home is a source of pride for students and teachers alike.
Brigido Garcia (Instructor): Oh, it’s, you can’t describe the rewards, you know, the feeling that of the accomplishment of the milestone.
Reporter: This new home features some of the latest technologies used in home construction. From the foundation up, high school students were responsible for learning how to piece it all together.
Student C: When I came into this field I didn’t know how to build anything, and so now I got a little bit of knowledge on buildin’ a house and I’m taking college classes for…in the construction field. That way I can go into this.
Reporter: Students installed wireless technology throughout the house and used green materials to help 5)insulate the walls. Instructors say their biggest challenge was keeping the kids away from the site.
Brigido: The hardest part was for me to get them to focus on learning and not on building. “We want to go to the site, let’s do this.” Wait a minute. We have to learn what we’re gonna do first.
Reporter: It took 13 months and nearly three dozen students, but this home is finally move-in ready. In just a few weeks the program will start a second home. For the next build, students plan to use solar power and other technologies.
The school district went to the Legislature and got some funding. It also got help from big corporations like Microsoft. The house is now in the process of being sold for about $147,000. Officials say they will use that money to start another student-built home.
在沃巴什河谷,今天许多学生都可以享受假日时光,但有些学生却放下书本和笔,与筏和浆打起了交道。清凉的小雨和稍冷的天气没能阻止学生在与河谷同名的沃巴什河上进行的一次实践活动。
记者:这是在户外的课堂。
对于沙利文郡所有八年级的学生来说,可以乘筏沿着沃巴什河顺流而下,学习知识,是一个里程碑。
学生甲:此行太让人激动了。看到那里的污染如此严重,有点令人伤感。
记者:虽说许多学生打出生以来都生活在沃巴什河的附近,但对大多数人来说,这是他们第一次来到河上,而他们对目睹的一切感到意外。
学生乙:这个……这个让人难过,这些……河里有轮胎,有一辆公交车,有一大堆东西。
记者:大约有三百名八年级学生参与了这天的活动。他们从费尔班克斯附近的里弗维尤顺流而下到达哈得孙维尔,在这个过程中学习关于这个地区的历史、水质及对水质测试方面的知识。此行是对在课堂上一周学习的总结。
约翰·格廷杰(八年级老师):孩子们没有机会出来,可以这样享受大自然,所以这对我们来说是一件好事。
记者:这项活动确实很有意思,但花费不菲。三次旅行费用加起来高达八千五百美元。不过,组织者说如果没有一百多名志愿者帮忙,没有社区无数人伸出援手,费用会高至四万五千美元以上。
朱迪·本戈其亚(沙利文郡土壤与水保护署):看到社区都能够为孩子们动员起来,真是让人欣慰。
记者:这项活动已经进入第九个年头,本戈其亚希望这一拨孩子最终会对环境问题有个不一样的认识,然后把自己的想法与父母分享。
学生甲:这条河我见过几回了,但从来没有置身其中。
学生乙:我一直不知道河被污染得如此严重。所有的事情都很糟。
记者:而这种态度正是所有参与者的回报。
在新墨西哥州莱温镇的中学生通过从无到有建造一所房子,得到了一个学会各种技能的机会。记者乔·巴特尔斯今天去过那个镇。学生在那里为他们这个包含了多项新技术的重大项目剪彩。
记者:学生们终于有一个机会展示他们一直努力工作的成果。一所新房子是师生们共同的骄傲。
布里吉多·加西亚(老师):啊,这个……你简直无法用言语描述这种回报,你也知道,就是里程碑落成所带来的感受。
记者:这所新房子应用了一些建造房屋的最新技术。从房子的基础开始,中学生就对如何建成这所房子的全部工序负责。
学生丙:我最初来到现场的时候,我不会造任何东西,但现在我知道了一些如何建造房子的知识。我正在修一些在建筑方面的大学课程。这样我就可以进入这个行业。
记者:学生在整所房子里使用了无线技术,还使用了环保材料帮助房子隔热防寒。老师说他们最大的挑战是如何让学生远离建筑现场。
布里吉多:对我来说最难的是让他们把精力集中在学习上,而不是建房子。“我们想到现场去,我们这么做吧。”等等,我们首先得学会我们要动手做的事。
记者:房子的建造共有三十多名学生参与,总共花了13个月的时间,现在房子已经可以入住了。再过几个星期,这个教学项目就会开始建造第二所房子。学生计划在下一所房子应用太阳能和其他技术。
这个学区曾向立法机构求助,并得到了一些资金。同时,他们也得到了一些大公司,如微软等的帮助。如今,这所房子正以约十四万七千美元的价格出售。学区的官员称他们会把售房得到的钱用于启动另一所房子的建造。
