Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
The main role of a university professor is to educate students rather than to do research.
No matter in which country, university professors are, without any exception, regarded as the role of educator
, not to mention doing research不是这么用. However, whether the main role is to educate students or do reseatch is
magnet?? for controversy.
Admittedly, the duty of a university professor is to impart knowledge and educate people, which is the tradition since the ancient times. Also, the purpose of students attending colleges or universities is to gain various kinds of knowledge and form an own set of knowledge
hierarchy. In this situation, the professors play a crucial role. In engineering management major, for example, there are many specialized courses which only fewer people know them or even are expert in them. All the students
need are the professors in their department. Obviously, the professors are essential to university students.
However, the professors in the college or university indeed need to do several research to enhance their scientific research capability so as to meet the demand of society. After all, just like scientists, they are standing at the frontiers of science and technology. It's their responsibility to make contributions in order to return socienty. More importantly, university professors need these scientific research products to confer the academic titles. What's more, it is also having impact on basic pay levers. All these force professors to allocate more time doing research. Accordingly, the role of a university professor doing research can not be ignored.
Furthermore, as the old saying goes: you're never too late to learn. Therefore, it is entirely reasonable for professors to do research to consolidate themselves. So it is going as a scientist, a CEO, a foreign executive, or other competitive positions. After all, as the enconomic
globalization and technology progress, the competition is
even fierce every three seconds on earth. In order to keep their jobs scurity and stability, hard work is definitely inevitable. While as a teacher, no one can deny that the most essentially work is to consider how to teach the students to learn best on not only the textbook knowledge, but also the fine personality.
All in all, although there lies various excuses to insist that the main role of a university professor is to educate students, it is pointless to make a distinction between educating students and doing research. As long as the students could benefit them in terms of accumulating research experience from their tutors and learning the necessary knowledgy they need in future.
