What is quality education?
First, about quality education.

1. Physiological basis of quality education

Scientific research has confirmed that the two hemispheres of the human brain have different functions. The left brain is good at language, calculation and logical reasoning, and has strong abstract thinking ability; The right brain is good at music, color and graphic painting, and has strong thinking ability in images. In the past, education focused on the development and use of the left brain, cultivating students' abilities of calculation, logical reasoning and abstract thinking, while ignoring the development of the right brain. Recently, a research report published by British and American educators pointed out that training in music and art is helpful to improve children's reading comprehension, writing expression and mathematical operation ability. Only by developing the two hemispheres of the brain in a coordinated and balanced way can education cultivate high-quality pioneering talents to meet the needs of 2 1 century construction.

2. Quality education is relative to exam-oriented education.

In the fierce competition of one-sided pursuit of enrollment rate and competition results, exam-oriented education focuses on cultivating students' ability to take exams and making their quality develop abnormally. Quality education is to develop students' quality in an all-round way, which has the characteristics of foundation, comprehensiveness, wholeness, balance and openness.

3. The quality of students consists of moral quality, intellectual quality, psychological quality, physical quality, aesthetic quality, labor quality and emotional quality.

4. Quality education is an open systematic project.

It includes the following subsystems:

Educational administrative management system: refers to the educational management departments of governments at all levels throughout the country, which are responsible for implementing the Party's educational policy, supervising the development direction of education, collecting feedback information from grass-roots education, and formulating corresponding measures to safeguard the normal development of education.

School management system: with the principal as the core, it is composed of school cadres at all levels and various managers, which is the key factor to implement quality education.

Teacher system: the concrete operator of quality education, which consists of teachers, managers and personnel engaged in education and teaching research in various schools.

Student system: the main body of quality education, composed of students of all ages.

Campus environment system: refers to the reasonably planned places and facilities for teaching, entertainment, activities, catering and rest.

Experimental system: refers to the on-campus laboratory, off-campus experimental base and practice place.

Social environment system: it is composed of various social factors that have certain influence on quality education.

Modern science and technology application system: it is composed of modern science and technology products and achievements that play a role in quality education.

The influence system of international cooperation consists of educational information, educational reform, educational experience and other factors from all over the world.

The implementation of quality education is not completed by one or several subsystems, but by the beneficial coordinated operation between systems. The relationship within and between subsystems can promote or hinder the development of quality education. This open system engineering develops with the continuous progress of society and is also influenced by other development factors in the future.

Second, several misunderstandings that quality education should break through

1. Quality education is only for educators.

Quality education is an open system engineering, and its implementation needs the cooperation of other subsystems. At present, some media, social organizations and administrative leaders put the implementation of quality education on educators, which will be unfavorable to the development of quality education for a long time.

2. Position the motivation of quality education only in schools.

Quality education is a systematic project, which needs the attention of administrative leaders, the support of social forces, the cooperation of students' parents and the cooperation of the international community to meet the requirements of 2 1 century. The motive force of quality education comes from the beneficial interaction within and between subsystems, which can not be completed by the development of schools alone.

3. Formalization of quality education

2 1 century is full of competition and cooperation, which puts forward higher requirements for people's quality. To this end, the Ministry of Education and some experts put forward the educational development strategy of China's transition from exam-oriented education to quality education, and the news media also paid great attention to it. For a time, the "wind" of quality education spread all over the country. In order to catch up with the situation, many schools have started "quality education", and some have opened all subjects such as music, sports, beauty and labor; Some began to take dance classes; Some implement frustration education for students, and so on. The implementation of quality education is a systematic project, and its implementation should be a practical process under the guidance of theory. "It takes ten years to plant trees and a hundred years to cultivate people", and short-term behavior can not achieve the purpose of quality education.

4. Receive quality education

If we can establish "typical schools" for quality education in some places and popularize their experience, it is necessary to promote the development of quality education. The establishment of "model" needs the acceptance of the education authorities. If the conditions are insufficient, we will resolutely deny it and put an end to the normal development of quality education. The acceptance inspection team can be divided into two groups: one group goes to the society to observe and investigate the understanding, attitude and support of the masses, enterprises and institutions, local education authorities and local administrative cadres for quality education; One group went to the school to observe the students' manners, school appearance, management, study style and teaching style, had a discussion with students, teachers and school leaders, went into the classroom, listened to the teaching situation of various subjects, and finally made a comprehensive evaluation. Such a "typical" who has passed the acceptance can really play the role of a "window".

Third, starting from quality education, reform the enrollment of colleges and universities, so that the college entrance examination and examination can be properly combined.

1. Reform college enrollment

Because colleges and universities have their own characteristics, under the macro-control of the Ministry of Education, they stagger the enrollment time and make enrollment plans, so that colleges and universities can exercise their enrollment rights, so as to recruit students suitable for their own schools and candidates can be admitted to satisfactory schools.

2. downplay the college entrance examination

The influence on senior high school teaching The college entrance examination plays a baton role in senior high school, and reducing its influence is helpful for schools to carry out quality education for students. If students can enter the society after graduating from high school, colleges and universities can select students from social youth; Reform the current high school teaching model. Senior high school is only responsible for students' quality education for three years (including vocational quality education). After students are diverted, full-time functional departments are responsible for the college entrance examination and short-term training, that is, the socialization of college entrance examination can reduce the school's attention to college entrance examination, promote social education, expand employment opportunities and accelerate the competition and industrialization of education.

3. The college entrance examination should be properly combined with the examination.

At present, college enrollment only depends on college entrance examination scores, and there are many phenomena of high scores and low energy in colleges and universities. Students with average intelligence and other excellent qualities are often rejected, and many of them will have a successful career in the future. Therefore, college enrollment can select some students with excellent comprehensive performance as trial enrollment in HKCEE, and can expand the social influence of HKCEE with the help of college enrollment, promote the society's understanding of HKCEE, and urge schools to strengthen quality education for students.

4. Reform the college entrance examination papers

Because the social impact of the long-term college entrance examination is difficult to eliminate in a short time, it is necessary to reform the college entrance examination papers and promote the development of quality education. The college entrance examination can be divided into two rounds. The first round is a closed-book exam, and the score accounts for 30% of the total admission score. Students' mastery of basic cultural knowledge can be examined. The second round is an open-book exam, which allows students to take all kinds of reference materials to test their application ability and creativity after mastering what they have learned. Of course, the questions on the test paper can not be completed only by copying the book, and the test scores account for 70% of the total admission score. If this kind of examination paper can be implemented, the current high school must obey the baton of the college entrance examination, strengthen the cultivation of students' application ability and innovation ability, and naturally connect with quality education.

To sum up, quality education is the trend of today's education development, and it is also an open systematic project. Only with the support and concern of the whole society and the establishment of a reasonable examination system can we accelerate the development of quality education and cultivate qualified talents in the new century.
