Compared with previous years, what are the characteristics of the college entrance examination in four provinces in 2007? How do teachers and students prepare for the war? According to this, our reporter interviewed some front-line education staff related to the four provinces and regions.
The college entrance examination plan of four provinces and regions was finalized.
It is understood that Guangdong's college entrance examination plan adopts "3+ liberal arts/liberal arts +X". The liberal arts "liberal arts" include 70% politics, history, geography and 30% physics, chemistry and biology, while the proportion of science "liberal arts" is just the opposite. X elective subjects include physics, chemistry and biology; Politics, history and geography. The division of arts and sciences is an obvious change in the new scheme. Guangdong candidates will be divided into liberal arts, science, physical education and art. Gu Yin, president of Yushan Senior High School in Panyu District, Guangzhou, believes that this is more conducive to setting up elective courses in middle schools in an all-round way according to the new curriculum plan, and is also more conducive to fair selection.
Hainan adopted the "3+3+ Basic Examination" program, and the total score of the college entrance examination was 790 points, 40 points higher than before the reform. In addition to Chinese, mathematics and foreign languages, the combined subjects of literature and history are politics, history and geography, and the combined subjects of science and engineering are physics, chemistry and biology, while the "basic examination" is included in the total score of the college entrance examination according to 10%. Shi Xiuhui, deputy director of the Education Department of Hainan Province, believes that Hainan's new scheme has its distinctive characteristics: First, it is closely related to the examination. As a means to test the level of running a high school, exams used to be a mere formality. After the reform, what is not involved in the college entrance examination will be put in the exam, and 10% of its score will also be included in the total score of the college entrance examination. In this way, the college entrance examination will not be the only baton; Second, in the setting of examination subjects, it is integrated into a single subject, which breaks away from the previous "mixed dish" mode and gives students more choices.
Shandong Province adopts the "3+X+ 1" scheme. "3" refers to Chinese, mathematics and foreign languages, "X" refers to liberal arts or science, and "1" refers to basic abilities such as technology, fine arts and comprehensive practice. 1 tests the basic knowledge and ability that a high school graduate should have to adapt to social life, such as observing social life, appreciating art and expressing personal feelings. The content of the examination involves technology, physical education and health, art, comprehensive practice and the ability to solve life problems and social practical problems by using the knowledge learned.
Ningxia adopts "3+ comprehensive text/comprehensive management" scheme. "3" refers to Chinese, mathematics and foreign languages, which are compulsory for all candidates. The liberal arts comprehensive includes politics, history and geography, and candidates in the direction of literature and history must take the liberal arts comprehensive examination; Science comprehensive includes physics, chemistry and biology, and candidates in the direction of science and engineering must take the comprehensive examination of science. Wang Jinxiu, vice president of Yinchuan Experimental Middle School, told this reporter that in 2007, Ningxia College Entrance Examination adjusted some contents that were not conducive to students' play, and the topic was very lively, mainly focusing on examining comprehensive quality. Lang Zhiping, deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office of our school, is a Chinese teacher in senior three. In an interview with this reporter, he said that the content arrangement of the 2007 college entrance examination Chinese volume has changed a lot. Reading and writing are regarded as two key contents, especially composition as a comprehensive ability, which will be particularly important in this year's college entrance examination. The marking group should specially arrange a teacher who picks up typos, and each typo will be deducted one point. The cleanliness of the roll surface should also be listed as the assessment standard, and points should be deducted if the roll surface is untidy.
"The most prominent feature of the college entrance examination after the new curriculum reform is the combination of arts and sciences, which has increased the assessment of practical ability." Gao Ailing, a teaching and research expert in Harbin Institute of Teaching and Research who is very concerned about the curriculum reform process in four provinces and regions, made such an evaluation after reading the college entrance examination plan in four provinces and regions. She believes that the college entrance examination scheme after the curriculum reform in senior high schools in four provinces and autonomous regions pays special attention to foundation and wide application, so that students' comprehensive quality can be examined more comprehensively. Gao Lingbiao, a professor at the Basic Education Curriculum Research Center of South China Normal University, also analyzed this and said that the new college entrance examination scheme in Guangdong not only pays attention to the foundation, but also increases the concept of student selectivity; Hainan's plan is comprehensive, and he especially appreciates Hainan's practice of counting test scores into the total score, but there are relatively more test subjects. Shandong and Ningxia plan to set up liberal arts integration/science integration, which brings more technical difficulties to the proposition because of more elective courses in the new curriculum. Gao Lingbiao believes that the ideal state of college entrance examination after curriculum reform is divided into two parts: basic examination and selection examination. The basic examination can be combined with the unified level examination for high school graduation. The basic examination is compulsory and the selection examination is optional. At the same time, it should be noted that the basic examination corresponds to the compulsory examination content, and the grading is made as the basis for admission to colleges and universities and the qualification for admission to colleges and universities above undergraduate level. The selection examination corresponds to all the contents of the course as the main basis for admission. His suggestion may serve as a reference for future college entrance examination programs in four provinces and regions.
Repeat students may have an advantage.
The reporter learned in interviews for several days that some teachers have predicted that repeat students may have an advantage in this year's college entrance examination. Lang Zhiping of Yinchuan Experimental Middle School told the reporter that after several simulation tests, their school found that the scores of repeat students were significantly higher than those of fresh graduates. Mainly because the repeat students have a solid grasp of the basic knowledge. He said that because the curriculum reform is divided into compulsory and elective parts, the learning content is more and the course progress is faster. Usually, students start new courses before they have time to fully understand what they have learned. Therefore, many freshmen do not have a solid grasp of the basic knowledge. After learning the new textbook knowledge for a period of time, the repeat students who have a solid grasp of the basic knowledge show strong advantages in the comprehensive level. Therefore, in the 2007 college entrance examination, repeat students are likely to have an advantage.
Wang Lili, the headmaster of Qingdao Zhenhua School, holds the same view. She also believes that the 2007 college entrance examination may be beneficial to repeat students. Wang Lili said that the introduction of curriculum reform does not mean a total denial of past textbook knowledge. Therefore, students who use new textbooks and students who use old textbooks have their own thinking advantages under the influence of different textbooks. Therefore, when absorbing the knowledge points of the two textbooks, repeat students can not only have a deeper understanding and positioning of what they have learned, but also expand their knowledge horizons and thinking space. In this sense, this year's curriculum reform may be more beneficial to repeat students. The relevant person in charge of the unified recruitment department of Hainan Provincial Examinations Bureau also believes that there is not much difference between the old and new textbooks in many basic knowledge. As long as the repeat students have a correct attitude, face up to difficulties and study hard, there is great hope of achieving good results.
Editing short messages to measure comprehensive level
After the curriculum reform in senior high school, it is emphasized to cultivate and examine students' comprehensive ability, which is reflected in the change of test paper content. After the implementation of the curriculum reform in senior high school in Shandong experimental middle school, a relatively new topic has emerged. The examination of Chinese test paper on students' language expression ability is linked to the most popular short message writing. The topic is: "As the New Year is approaching, send text messages to your classmates to send blessings. In this short message, you should quote a myth or fairy tale and use personification or metaphor. Please write your message in less than 80 words. " This topic not only relates to students' real life, but also examines students' rhetorical application and imagination. This proposition, which examines students' thinking and ability, has become the highlight of the module examination. The first batch of students who entered the curriculum reform were full of freshness and deeply liked the new changes in the exam after the curriculum reform. There is also a question in a Chinese exam in this school: "Inviting celebrities to speak for themselves is a good way to improve the persuasiveness of advertisements. The following four advertising headlines, such as celebrity endorsements with suitable backgrounds, are the most inappropriate literally: a. Ask Tao Yuanming to endorse' Nature is Beauty'; B, please endorse Sima Guang and Wang Anshi' Good things should be shared with good friends'; C, please George sang endorsement' women can do what men can do'; D, please Lutz endorsement' heart is not as good as immediate action' ". On this topic, the school's teacher Shi said: "In the past, the author's name, nationality and collocation questions were mainly used to examine the author, and the new examination method required students to have a comprehensive grasp of the author's style and thoughts, which was more in line with the requirements of curriculum reform.
Shao, director of the Academic Affairs Office of Zhongshan Experimental High School in Guangdong Province, told this reporter that after the high school curriculum reform, the teachers of this school paid more attention to "teamwork" when preparing the content of the test paper than the previous tactics of asking questions. That is to say, when preparing papers, teachers should sit together and discuss what kind of topics can measure students' comprehensive level. Since the implementation of this form of writing questions, the topic of the test paper has become very vivid and comprehensive.
According to many teachers, after the high school curriculum reform, the openness of the test questions and the close connection with real life are more obvious. In addition, the difficulty of mathematics and chemistry test questions has been significantly reduced, the knowledge points of the subjects have been better implemented, and students' interest and confidence in learning these subjects have been greatly enhanced. After the implementation of curriculum reform, students can feel its freshness everywhere in their study and life. Compared with the previous teaching and examination methods, further cultivating students' innovative ability and practical ability has become the next goal that everyone pursues.
Confusion is also a feature.
After the overall plan of Shandong College Entrance Examination 3+X+ 1 was determined, students began to study in a planned way. However, with the beginning of senior three review, many students and parents reported that how and when to prepare this "1" is still a problem. Xiao Wu, a student of Jinan No.3 Middle School, downloaded a set of sample questions of basic ability from the Internet. Say that finish, he was shocked. Many questions seem easy, but they may not be accurate. For example, "list two sports with music accompaniment", he said, "I only know that there is a skating event to play music, but I don't know its name." The requirements of basic ability questions on the quality of candidates also make parents very contradictory. "When the child just went to high school, we didn't allow him to watch TV. After understanding the new curriculum, I found it necessary to expose children to current events. Now I really regret not letting him watch more TV. " A parent said.
In this case, Teacher Lin of Shandong Experimental Middle School explained to our reporter in detail how to grasp "1". Teacher Lin told reporters that the reason why there is "1" in the college entrance examination plan is to make teachers and schools unable to help, mainly to examine students' comprehensive quality. There is a simple reason. The purpose of curriculum reform is to cultivate students' comprehensive ability, and this "1" is to examine students' comprehensive ability and avoid repeating questions in exam-oriented education. Teacher Lin said that in the previous exams, the teacher would assign a large number of exercises to the students according to the exam syllabus, so as to achieve a situation in which many questions were mastered and easy to deal with during the exam. And this "1" system is that teachers can't help, and students can play independently according to their usual accumulation. Although this "1" makes everyone feel very confused, it is the characteristic of the scheme.
Teacher Lin said that "1" would involve eight fields, such as art, sports, science, humanities and society, and it was comprehensive. Maybe a question on the test paper may be related to them. Mainly hope that students can use what they have learned to solve life problems and social practical problems. From then on, we know that its establishment is a pure comprehensive level test, but it is not aimed at examining the contents of these fields. If there are questions corresponding to the exam-oriented education in the past, it will undoubtedly increase the burden on students, and it is not the purpose of curriculum reform.
