The first year after the Great Recession, 2010, marked the historical peak of college and university enrollment in the United States. In the decade since, a popular narrative has emerged that the value of a college degree is rapidly declining. As a new wave of well-capitalized educational tech nology companies arrived on the scene—including massive open online courses (MOOCs)—it became popular to prognosticate about the disruption of American higher education. Badges earned online would challenge and replace traditional diplomas. Renowned business theorist Clayton Christensen forecasted that half of all colleges may be in bankruptcy within 15 years. Others said the degree was "doomed".
A revolution in credentialing appeared underway, with colleges’ core product—the traditional degree—about to be swept aside by digital substitutes and disruptive start-up companies. Even more recently, this narrative has been amplified by reports that certain blue-chip companies no longer "require" degrees for certain positions.
Yet by many measures, the value of a traditional degree today is as strong as ever in the job market. Innovation in degree delivery is occurring, but it is often being led by traditional, incumbent institutions, often in partnership with technology firms.
In a national survey of employers that we at Northeastern University recently conducted, a strong majority of HR leaders said that the value of educational credentials in hiring has either increased (48%) or held steady (29%) over the last five years. And, despite some high-profile employers relaxing their baseline educational requirements in a historically tight job market, more than half of all job openings nationwide over the last year preferred at least a bachelor’s degree. This share has been consistent over the last five years. Additionally, the substantial wage premium that employers pay college degree holders remains at historically all-time high levels, according to recent Federal Reserve Bank of New York research._____________
In a market that continues to prioritize formal educational credentials, the once free-of-charge MOOC upstarts have found a business model—and today it is squarely focused on online degrees and other fee-based educational credentials.
Today, according to our national surveys, a majority (61%) of hiring leaders view credentials earned online as equal to or better than those completed in person. This acceptance of online delivery has been steadily driven by employers’ years of growing direct experience hiring from, participating in, and sending employees into online university programs.
What is Clayton Christensen’s opinion about college education in the future?
选项
A、He thinks colleges will be less needed as online education will be well received.
B、He thinks online education programs will replace college education soon.
C、He thinks that colleges will no longer exist in the world.
D、He thinks that more people can get into a college.
答案
A
解析
细节题。题干:Clayton Christensen对未来的大学教育的观点是什么?该题题干关键词为Clayton Christensen,根据关键词定位到文章第一段倒数第二句“Renowned business theorist Clayton Christensen forecasted that half of all colleges may be in bankruptcy within 15 years.(著名商业理论家Clayton Christensen预测,15年内一半的大学可能会倒闭)”,由此可知,Clayton认为随着在线教育的流行,对大学的需求量会减少,15年内一半的大学可能会倒闭。由此也可推断,上大学的人将会随之减少,故A项“他认为,随着在线教育的普及,对大学的需求将会减少”与原文意思相符,而D项“他认为更多的人可以上大学”则与原文意思相悖。虽然第一段倒数第三句提到“Badges earned online would challenge and replace traditional diplomas.(网上获得的证书将挑战并取代传统文凭)”,但并没有说网上获得的证书“很快”就取代传统文凭,而且该内容并非Clayton Christensen的观点,故B项“他认为在线教育项目将很快取代大学教育”表述错误。C项“他认为大学将不再存在于世界上”在文中没有提到,且该说法过于绝对,故排除C。故本题选A。
