2015美國大學(xué)籃球聯(lián)賽：把學(xué)業(yè)成績考慮在內(nèi)
美國大學(xué)一般都有自己的籃球代表隊，各個大學(xué)之間也會定期舉辦規(guī)模宏大的籃球聯(lián)賽。根據(jù)美國教育部最新聲明，在籃球聯(lián)賽中除實際比分外，也會把學(xué)業(yè)成績考慮在內(nèi)。具體情況請看下文!
Education Secretary Arne Duncan is a serious basketball player – co-captaining the Harvard varsity team and playing professionally, mostly in Australia — so it’s no surprise the department he leads likes to put a spotlight on academic performance among sports teams. The Education Department?published on its Homeroom blog a piece titled “A Different Approach to NCAA Bracketology,” which looks at which schools would come out on top if academic performance were considered for both men and women in the March Madness tournaments.
美國教育部秘書長Arne Duncan也是一個出色的籃球運動員，他在澳大利亞打職業(yè)籃球，同時是哈佛籃球隊隊長，所以他所領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的教育部就非常注重運動與學(xué)業(yè)成績之間的聯(lián)系。教育部在官方博客“Homeroom”上發(fā)表了一篇名為“A Different Approach to NCAA Bracketology”的文章，表明學(xué)業(yè)成績好的學(xué)校在三月份的籃球聯(lián)賽中更有可能排名前列。
The information used by the department comes from a new report by the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at the University of Central Florida called “Keeping Score When It Counts: Academic Progress/Graduation Success Rate Study of 2015 NCAA Division I Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournament Teams.” The department said it built its brackets based on the team’s Academic Progress Rate as reported by the NCAA, and in cases of a tie, by first the Graduation Success Rate of their basketball team and then the overall Graduation Success Rates of their student-athletes.
教育部的做法是參考了佛羅里達中心大學(xué)的一項新報告：“在籃球聯(lián)賽中考慮學(xué)業(yè)成績進步率和畢業(yè)率”，此報告指明，若在比賽中出現(xiàn)比分持平的現(xiàn)象，那么學(xué)業(yè)成績進步率和畢業(yè)率更高的學(xué)校就能領(lǐng)先。
The Academic Progress Rate is a Division I metric developed to track the academic achievement of teams each academic term. Each student-athlete receiving athletically related financial aid earns one retention point for staying in school and one eligibility point for being academically eligible. A team’s total points are divided by points possible and then multiplied by one thousand to equal the team’s Academic Progress Rate score.
學(xué)業(yè)進步率通過記錄每隊在每學(xué)年學(xué)業(yè)成績狀況而反映各自的學(xué)業(yè)水平。每個學(xué)生運動員都能得到財政援助，前提是他們還在學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)，若成績優(yōu)異者所得獎學(xué)金就越多。一個籃球隊的總分除比賽得分外，還有該隊學(xué)業(yè)成績的綜合分。
Here are the results from the Homeroom blog:
