Chapter 20 New Teaching Models
"Indeed, although the various basic courses in the current magic school can allow the apprentices to have a good foundation, enough to attack the official magician rank, but the arcane and magical knowledge required by low-level magicians to the middle and high levels is becoming increasingly large and complex, and it is difficult to effectively master them by self-study, which is also the reason why the number of middle-level magicians has not increased rapidly in the context of the great development of arcane magic in the past ten years, but the number of high-level magicians has increased a lot. Brooke nodded in agreement with Douglas's proposal.
In other words, the new arcane theories and achievements have not made it much easier for low-level to be promoted to mid-level, and the promotion ratio is still the same as the original, but for the best of the few low-level magicians, due to the absorption and learning of new arcane theories and achievements, it is much easier to advance, such as Annick, Heidi and other people who have been taught by Lucien with the most cutting-edge knowledge.
Oliver said with a little concern: "Graduated apprentices and low-level magicians are the foundation of the council, and if they all enter the advanced school, the entire council will inevitably be paralyzed. β
Although the high-level magicians, archmages, and legendary magicians are outstanding in strength and diverse in magic, it is impossible to spend time to do small things, and the daily operation of the entire council is based on the form of "issuing tasks", and a large number of graduated apprentices and low-level magicians undertake eighty percent of the small tasks in it, making all aspects of the council orderly.
"Therefore, for the time being, it is only necessary to establish a senior school with a scale of several hundred people, select outstanding talents to enter through a certain selection method, and then consider appropriate promotion after observing the effect. But it won't affect the operation of the council, after all, the middle and high-level arcanists themselves also have to learn magic, study arcane, explore the world, and go out on adventures, if there are too many high-level schools, it will definitely contradict their number and free time. Douglas said that he was going to do it, and he fully assessed the number of teachers in this matter.
"What is the selection method?" Fernando was more concerned about this issue, and Helen began her own research, but the focus became on the wave-particle duality of electrons.
Lucien said amusedly, "The unified entrance examination for the Higher School of Magic?" is divided into mathematics and physics, language, magic analysis ability, eleven faction theories, and magic combat exams?"
He simply remembered the "before" experience, and then he casually made a joke.
"The Unified Entrance Examination for the Higher School of Magic? At least fairer than the recommendation of middle and high-level magicians and the school's own selection. Douglas agrees with the format of the exam.
Under the supervision of magic. Cheating is bound to be rare, and fairness and justice are guaranteed to the greatest extent, although where there are people there are selfishness and desires, and the magicians who supervise the exams may be bribed. However, this is a loophole that can be avoided by various means, such as inspection tours. Instead, it depends on recommendation and self-picking. It is difficult for mid- and high-level magicians and school administrators not to gravitate towards what they know, admire, and relate to, and the abilities of arcane and magic are often ranked at the bottom of the list.
So, Douglas nodded and said, "This is called the Unified Entrance Examination for the Higher School of Magic." The specific aspects of knowledge and practical ability to be tested are left to the Panel for formulation. β
Lucien raised his right hand, rubbed his brow, covered his eyes by the way, and said secretly in his heart, I was just joking...... However, in this way, things such as "Evans Dictionary", "Evans Exercise Collection", "Evans 9+3 Theory Explanation", "Three Years of Preparation, Two Years of Simulation, and One Year Sprint" may start to become popular.
"There's no need for everyone to take the eleven major factions, right?" Vicente asked, "Mathematics, different magical languages, magic analysis ability, primary alchemy ability, basic understanding of the soul and body, practical arcane research ability, and practical application of magic are all necessary to test, and then let the outstanding graduate apprentices and low-level magicians choose the three major factions by themselves, after all, everyone has their own direction and the field they want to go deeper in the future." β
Fernando retorted in a loud voice: "The current trend is that the major factions are more and more closely connected, and the fluctuation of electrons and the particle nature of light make the electromagnetic and elemental fields initially integrated together. β
"This can be considered after admission, anyway, they will be expelled from school if they don't study well, which will give them enough 'motivation' to make up for their foundation. Oliver smiled.
"But this defeats the original purpose of running a high-level school, if they study on their own well, there will be no high-level magic school. Hathaway said calmly, the vibration just now is gone, anyway, the electrons have shown volatility, and the real world has not yet collapsed, so there must be an internal reason.
Lucien, who had always been respectful of Hathaway, added: "You can make some innovations in the teaching model, and let the members of the Arcane Review Committee list the knowledge and knowledge that a certain faction and a certain field need to go deeper, and announce it to the students, so that they know what they need for their path." β
"In addition, the curriculum of the senior school can no longer be like an apprenticeship school, it can no longer be organized into classes for unified teaching, but give them a certain degree of freedom, for example, integrate the knowledge mentioned before into different courses, and different middle and high-level magicians will rotate teaching at different times, and then the students will choose the teacher they want to listen to according to their own pace and foundation, choose the time that is suitable for them to arrange other things, and choose the courses they needγ β
"This does not limit them to their previous choices, but also gives full play to their subjective initiative, after all, they are not children anymore, they are excellent apprentices who have graduated, they are low-level magicians, our goal is to let people with good talent learn in a short time, so that people with average talent but hard work can learn slowly in a longer period of time, so that those who are lazy and unwilling to work will have the opportunity to start a sprint by selecting and arranging courses. β
Lucien didn't say anything about assessing them, and being able to be promoted to a mid-level mage or an arcane master through further training in a high-level magic school was the best answer.
After saying that, Lucien realized that all the members of the Supreme Council were looking at him. Subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"
"I didn't expect Lucien to be so good at teaching students, no wonder Katrina, Reilia, and Annick are so good, and mid-level arcanists and magicians at the age of twenty-three or fourteen don't just come out of nowhere. Douglas chuckled.
Fernando also sighed: "When he was a teacher at Douglas School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he was known for his novel and unique teaching style, but he was put on a hat that violated tradition. β
But now, Lucian's lecture mode is popular in all major magic schools, after all, he is already a great arcanist, a "nine-ring magician", and imitating successful people is a trend that is not lacking in any society.
Douglas nodded: "This is a good arrangement for autonomy, and it also makes the release task less complicated, and middle and high-level arcanists can choose their own lecture time and course schedule." Lucien. Why don't you be the headmaster of the High School of Magic? β
Glancing around at everyone and seeing that they had all avoided his gaze, Lucien suddenly understood that they didn't want to take on this matter at all, so he kept silent as he spoke. So he nodded and said, "I'm only responsible for building patterns." It's best to choose a high-level arcanist to preside over the day-to-day operations. It's actually a lot easier than being a member of the Arcane Review Committee. Specific things can be done by hiring a mid-level arcanist like the Wizard Management Department. β
After saying that, Lucien silently scolded himself, the director of the Atomic Research Institute, the director of the Sky Radio Station, and the president of the University of Magic...... My part-time job is really unspeakably weird. It seems that they are all on the same page as the professor......
"And what should be the name of the High School of Magic?" Douglas looked at Oliver and the others.
Lucien interjected again: "To distinguish it from ordinary magic schools, why don't you name it after the academy?"
"It's called Holt Academy. "Oliver's favorite name.
"Holt" is the ancient Yasuo pronunciation of "mystery".
The others had little interest in naming names, and Lucien didn't bother to make up any more meanings to throw out names like "Hallworth".
Once the name was decided, the topic moved on to a follow-up, and the meeting ended quickly as there was no major controversy.
"When will Evans' experiment be announced?" After the eventually, Helen woke up from her addiction, and asked directly, regardless of whether there had been a discussion before.
Douglas said solemnly: "I think the Arcane journal should first sort out the pre-conference controversy in the name of a discussion article, Lucian's explanation is very good, it will help them accept the wonder of the microscopic world, coupled with Hathaway's insistence on the volatility of particles under special conditions, there should not be a large-scale cognitive world collapse event, after all, the discovery of electrons has only been a few years." β
"However, the people who have been subverted and fallen into a state of confusion should be all over the council, and the extreme few of them will even have insurmountable doubts about microscopic particles, arcane and magic, and a very unconfident attitude, which will also make their strength stagnate. β
Day is also night, and particles are also waves, such things will make people suspect that the world is unreal and that exploration will never have an effect, and feel that the world is dominated by mystery!
"Well, Ivans' experiment will be published again in the April issue. Helen nodded.
Klaus laughed and said, "Evans, just in time for your wedding." β
Lucien rubbed the corners of his mouth, did he want to open with blood and brains in advance?
But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with himself, it's all caused by Dieppe's paper! I'm just doing the experiment, just like no one blames Brooke for the wave of headshots in the light quantum hypothesis!
Of course, Lucien believed that the number could definitely be controlled within a few, or even none, after all, the new alchemy model was still in dispute.
"I'm going back to studying the wave function of electrons. Oliver left in a hurry, and although the failure of his marriage allowed him to create a series of pathetic works, it did not hinder his dedication and fanaticism in the study of the arcane.
Brooke and others also left, and by figuring out the wave function of electrons, they might be able to establish a new alchemical model once and for all, and truly explain the mystery of material change.
Fernando, who left the last time, asked Lucien to follow him, and when he arrived at the study, he looked at him and said, "You should have preliminarily solved the problem of the new alchemy, right?" (To be continued......
