First, it can be financially rewarding. Education is estimated to be a $600 billion market, more than the budget for the Department of Defense. The biggest single market is kindergarten through twelfth grade (K-12), valued at $310 billion in 1998. Additionally, lifelong learning and training programs for businesses and organizations are growing areas. 第二,教育受到严重的压力,虽然内部尽全力进行改革,但人们对这个既有的体制信心不足。针对公共教育的种种败笔,居家自学者和公办民管学校有了增加,他们都是教育产品和教育服务的对象。居家自学者的家长们定期参加承办者们推荐其教育产品和教育服务的地区会议。 3.Second, education has received such a bad press that confidence in the established system is low in spite of all the internal efforts at reform. In response to public education's many failures, home schoolers and charter schools have increased, and both are customers for educational products and services. Home-schooling parents regularly attend regional conferences at which exhibitors offer their products and services. 第三,教育就在人们身边,伸手可及。人们普遍认为专业的公共教育家们有充足的时间来彻底改变这一体制。私人企业即便是以营利为动力介入来纠正这种体制,只能怪教育家们自己,尤其是因为这类介入许诺会产生效果。 4.Third, education is there for the taking. The general attitude is that professional, public educators have had sufficient time to turn the system around. They have no one but themselves to blame for corrective intervention from the private sector, even if that intervention is financially motivated, and especially since these actions promise to achieve results. 目前几乎所有在营销的新的教育产品和教育服务都带有技术的特征。这种技术能替代全部教师或减少教师的数量,从而解决一些传统教育中的致命弱点。譬如,替代教师只是降低了大量劳动密集型的教学过程导致的昂贵费用,而学生数量并没有减少。这样就取消了教师终身职位制,而终身制恰恰使那些既没有受过培训又没有水平,不适应变化及新方法的教员始终留在岗位上。这一技术最终犹如最好的教师,永远耐心温和。它适合每个学生的不同学习速度和知识水平,永不疲倦。 5.Almost all of the new educational products and services now being marketed bear the stamp of technology. Such technology replaces teachers altogether or reduces their number, thus solving several critical weaknesses in traditional education. For instance, replacing teachers reduces the high cost of an excessively labor-intensive instructional process while still serving the same number of students. Then, too, it eliminates tenure, which unfortunately locks in instructors who do not have the training or knowledge to keep up with changing fields and new approaches. Finally, technology, like the best of teachers, is infinitely patient and reassuring. It accommodates the speed of each student and his or her level of learning. It never wearies. 以下描述的是竞争教育市场的多家不同公司,以其所采用的主导技术排列。由于情况一直在变化,也许不是所有的主要竞争对手都在此出现。其目的不在于提供一幅完整的图画而是要展现教育变化的广度。 6.Below is a description of the many different companies competing for the educational market, grouped by the main technology they use. Because the situation is in flux, not all the major players may appear here. The aim is not to produce a definitive picture but rather to demonstrate the extent to which education is changing. 卫星连接 Satellite Links 拥有800多万学生观众的第一频道提供12到15分钟的新闻广播和适合不同年龄段的时事回顾。这一免费为学校提供的服务是由广告商赞助的。学生喜欢哪个设计师的品牌或他们爱看哪种电视广告的反馈则当作市场信息出售。 7.Channel One, viewed by over 8 million students, provides a 12- to 15-minute newscast and review of current events adjusted for different age groups. This service, free for schools, is sponsored by advertisers. Feedback from students as to what designer labels they prefer and what advertising they enjoy seeing on TV is then sold as marketing data. 教育管理集团为4000多个教室开通虚拟旅行。集团花费3万美元为教室配备了卫星实况转播装置和交互对话装置,因此学生可以直接向在世界各地景点的电视制作人员提出问题。摄制景点包括考古、水下探险、科学实验室以及艺术家工作室。 8.The Educational Management Group provides virtual voyages for over 4,000 classrooms. For $30,000, the company equips classrooms with a live satellite link and interactive speaker phones so that students can ask questions directly to a traveling series of TV crews visiting sites all over the world. Visits include archaeological sites, underwater explorations, scientific labs and artists' studios. 软件 Software 卢卡斯学习创办于1998年的秋季。公司采用星球大战的样式为10至14岁儿童讲授基本科学原理。例如,他们第一个软件产品是星球大战德劳特工厂。软件以一个机器人工厂为背景,向学生解释设计制造机器人涉及到的能量、光学、磁性、工程学和机械装置原理及应用。 9.Lucas learning was launched in the fall of 1998. The company uses the Star Wars format to teach 10 to14 year-olds basic scientific principles. For example, their first software product is Star Wars Droid Works. Set on the floor of a robot factory, it takes students through all the principles and applications of energy, light, magnetism, engineering and motion necessary to design and build robots. 学习公司与布罗特邦德由布罗特邦德软件公司(产品有卡门圣地亚哥和奥秘)与学习公司(产品有马雅探索)最近合并而成。这家新公司注册用户增加了1倍,达到2000万。最流行的软件程序有点击艺术、家谱制作、打印工艺、游戏策略、红眼孩子及泥球墙,这些软件用来开发8至12岁儿童的逻辑思维技能。 10.The Learning Company and Broderbund is the result of a recent merger between Broderbund Software (which produces Carmen San Diego and Myst) and the Learning Company (which produced MayaQuest), this new company has almost doubled its registered users to about 20 million. Some of the most popular software programs are Click Art, Family Tree Maker, The Print Shop, Games Strategies, Red Orb Kids, and Mudball Wall (which build the logic skills of 8 to 12 year-olds). 计算机课程公司是从幼儿园至12年级的软件最大的提供商。这个公司50个不同的程序对学生和教师都适合。公司提供追踪个别学生和全班学生之需求与进步的程序,使教师能判断学生的不足之处并每周给出进步情况的报告。最新的教具之一是一个帮助运作和协调学校课程计划的程序。 11.The Computer Curriculum Corporation is the largest K-12 software provider. CCC's 50 different programs are both student- and teacher-friendly. The company provides programs that monitor the needs and progress of individual students as well as an entire class, enabling teachers to diagnose student deficiencies and give weekly progress reports. One of the newest teacher aids is a program that helps to manage and co-ordinate school lesson plans. MindQ Publishing 在成人计算机的开发市场上取得了极大的成功。MindQ目前有两百多家用户,如,国际商业机器公司、Sun、和微软公司。MindQ用爪哇学院软件培训员工爪哇的程序编制技术。它还为家庭个别教学提供光盘,或针对某个公司的需要专门设计一整套计算机课程程序。 12.MindQ Publishing has been extremely successful in the adult computer development market. Currently used by over 200 companies such as IBM, Sun and Microsoft, MindQ trains employees in Java programming skills with its software Java Academy. MindQ provides CD-Roms for individual instruction at home, or it can design an entire computer curriculum tailored to the needs of a specific company. 因特网 The Internet 大多数在因特网上提供教育产品和服务的公司致力于员工和管理业务培训。电脑学校声称全校有3万名学生通过电子邮件进行计算机培训、现场聊天、诊断错误和个别指导。Pensare用一种游戏形式为1.6万名接受管理培训的用户模拟实际公司场景。全球执行委员会力图使最高管理层不太孤寡:其5000名总经理成员能与近350个旗鼓相当的顾问团体进行接触,探讨问题,交换意见,或是交换竞争经历。国际生产力尖端在全美150个左右的培训中心培训约101万名员工,还可通过远程教育实施培训。 13.Most of the companies offering educational products and services on the Internet are targeting businesses for employee and management training. Cyber School claims to have 30,000 student employees involved in computer training, live chat sessions, diagnostics and personal tutoring by e-mail. Pensare uses a game format to simulate actual corporate situations for its 16,000 management trainee users. The Executive Committee (TEC) Worldwide is dedicated to making it less lonely at the top: Its 5,000 CEO members can contact nearly 350 peer advisory groups in order to share problems, exchange ideas, or swap war stories. Productivity Point International trains about 1 million employees at some 150 training centers around the United States, but its training is also available through distance education. 对于孩子们来说,还有妈妈传媒, 这是一家据称有9万名12岁以下孩子注册的因特网教育公司。由麻省理工学院毕业生创建的妈妈传媒要求家长而不是教师对其内容及链接进行选择。公司对学习主题强调三个X:探索(exploration), 表述(expression), 交换(exchange)。公司提供与笔友联络的软件;传授诸如素描、绘画和摄影等爪哇工作室技术,提供让青少年谈论他们学习和生活的网页。 14.For kids, there's MaMaMedia, an Internet educational company that claims to have 90,000 registered users under the age of 12. Created by MIT graduates, MaMaMedia seeks parental, rather than teacher, endorsement of its content and linkages. The company's learning themes emphasize the three X's: exploration, expression, and exchange. This company offers a program to link pen pals; teaches Java Studio skills such as drawing, painting and photography, and provides Web pages where teenagers can chat about their learning and living. 至于成年人,有一所即将问世的知识大学, 计划为公司和个人提供高等教育和培训。这家新的企业由大提供商-知识宇宙拥有。对此后面再作详细描绘。 15.For adults, there's the soon-to-be-launched Knowledge University, which plans to offer post-secondary education and training to corporations and individuals. This new venture is owned by mega-supplier Knowledge Universe, to be described in greater detail later. 根据位于康涅狄格州斯坦福的一家信息技术咨询公司加特纳集团的消息,美国别的提供网上教学的大学从1995年的25% 增加到1998年的65%。加特那集团预测这个数字在2001年还会增至80%。 16.As for other universities in the United States, 65% were offering online courses in 1998, up from 25% in 1995, according to Gartner Group, an information technology consulting firm in Stanford, Connecticut. The group projects that figure will rise to 80% by 2001. 辅导 Tutoring 成绩!属于卡普兰教育中心考前准备公司。它为大约两万名学生提供个别辅导。这一体制按照体育模式,强调学习小组,教师起拉拉队长的作用。现实生活和电子良师提供一对一的学术和职业咨询。公司的数据库里拥有有关未来职业的最新信息。洛杉矶刚选择成绩!为25所公共学校提供辅导。 17.Score! is owned by the test prep company Kaplan Educational Centers. It offers personal coaching to some 20,000 students. The system is based on a sports model, which emphasizes study team
