Back to our familiar China. First of all, we don't deny the contribution of the examination system, but today, we must consider whether it still applies to today's society. Due to the limitation of today's examination system, quality education has become an armchair strategist. Why should we reform the examination system? Because the disadvantages outweigh the advantages!
The examination system is beneficial and fair. Standardized answers improve fairness, justice and effectiveness to a certain extent, but they are not comprehensive and cannot accurately measure a person's talents, and even it can't even measure a person's achievements fairly! The chances of an exam are very large, and it is obviously unfair to decide a person's fate by the success or failure of an exam. There is a saying that the other debater must have heard it many times, and measured the average value many times to reduce the error. Is this reflected in our examination system? No, another debater!
The purpose of implementing the examination system is to select talents. However, because the examination system and examination results are closely related to further education, work, high salary and various honorary titles, people aim at pursuing high grades, thus ignoring that education is the most basic purpose of cultivating talents. Students adapt to the examination system but can't adapt to society! At the same time, other talents who have made great achievements in a certain field are also covered with a legacy because they are not adapted to this system! The examination system can't meet the needs of society, can it still select qualified talents needed by society? I can't, my friend!
Now is a pluralistic society, do we need diversified talents? Does the development of the country and the rejuvenation of the nation need diversified talents? But we must see unified standards, unified contents and unified examinations, so that students can't fully express their views and opinions, show their attitudes and opinions, and form their own academic style and personality prototype. No specialty, no personality, no difference. The books you read all day are textbooks. One thing you do all day is attend classes, and one thing you think about all day is exams. Can diversified talents be processed on the assembly line? Of course not!
Maybe the other debater thinks I'm alarmist. Let's look at a set of data. According to the 2005: China Education Development Report issued by China Academy of Social Sciences, 36% of middle school students felt nervous, tired, bored and anxious when they entered the school. The proportion of middle school students who are interested in learning is less than 50%. Due to the fierce competition in the college entrance examination, more than 80% of the students have a "loser" mentality. Wang Yongyan, a deputy to the National People's Congress, said: "If the orientation of exam-oriented education is not fundamentally reversed, and the problems of weariness and dropping out of school are not solved, it will lead to serious juvenile delinquency, which will be very difficult to solve."
Admittedly, the reality is cruel, but we should see that the disadvantages of the examination system outweigh the benefits behind the criticism of exam-oriented education. The purpose of examination is to select talents, and the purpose of education is to cultivate talents. Now it has become exam-oriented education, which makes education deviate from its original purpose, not only the purpose of cultivating talents, but also its disadvantages. And all this is because of the implementation of the examination system!
Finally, once again, let's distinguish between examination and examination system. We have never denied the role of examinations. According to the above, learning and going to school, education and teaching materials are completely two concepts. You don't have to study at school, but you often don't study at school but prepare for the exam. When the examination becomes a system, it will not only fail to achieve the purpose of selecting talents, but also bring great side effects! And this side effect is big enough to cover up its positive effect.
To sum up, our view is that the disadvantages of implementing the examination system outweigh the advantages. Thank you.
Other arguments:
1. The standardization of test questions improves the fairness, justice and effectiveness of the test to a certain extent, and reduces the scores of human feelings, relationships and mistakes. However, standardized examination is not conducive to the cultivation of students' ability to analyze and solve problems, oral expression and written writing, divergent and creative thinking.
2. In 2006, Beijing Psychological Crisis Research and Intervention Center conducted a survey on "considering the possibility of suicide under different circumstances" among urban residents in China, and the suicide rate ranked among the top 25 reasons for suicide in the college entrance examination.
3.77.8% of the public are "very dissatisfied" and "not very satisfied" with the overall situation of education, and the overall satisfaction score is only 35.28 (full mark 100), and only 4. 1% of the public say "very satisfied" and "relatively satisfied".
So we have no choice but the examination system? The answer is still no, first of all, let me reiterate that let's distinguish the examination from the examination system, which refers to the method of selecting talents by examination as the main means. According to the above, learning and going to school, education and teaching materials are completely two concepts. You don't have to study at school, but you often don't study at school but prepare for the exam. Abandoning the method of deciding the result by one selection, giving participants more opportunities to participate again and adopting various admission channels and learning methods is worthy of educational thinking in itself, which is also one of the directions of the current examination system reform.
5. Why hasn't a China Nobel Prize winner appeared so far? The answer is that the examination system affects learning methods. Due to the surge of scientific and technological knowledge, new disciplines are constantly emerging, and the updating speed of scientific and technological knowledge is also accelerating. Therefore, students are required to learn to "charge" themselves. However, due to the pressure of exams, students have no more time to read books and periodicals related to their majors and dabble in a wide range of knowledge. So where do high-end scientific research talents come from? Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and the rigid examination system hinders the development of the primary productive forces! Isn't this doing more harm than good?
6. Vi? a, Si Nuo, located in Eastern Europe, has a similar problem. Before 199O, Si Nuo Wigner implemented "academic education", and middle school graduates did not have a unified "graduation exam", but only evaluated students according to the test scores issued by teachers. As a result, students' education and evaluation are limited and their knowledge structure is fragmented. For students in different schools or even different classes, there is no uniform measurement and evaluation standard. This brings great blindness to university enrollment, and the consequence is that the dropout rate of universities is extremely high, reaching 46% in the first year.
