How to deal with the relationship between quality education and exam-oriented education
First of all, let's distinguish two concepts: quality education aims at comprehensively improving the basic quality level and personality development level of all educated people, promoting students' positive development in moral, intellectual and physical aspects in accordance with the party's educational policy, taking people as the core, promoting each individual's positive development of personal potential to coordinate with social development goals, and striving for the best development of personality; It is the research and development of Marxist theory of "all-round development of human beings". As a teaching management, "exam-oriented education" is a teaching method with the sole purpose of improving test scores and enrollment rate. From this perspective, quality education and exam-oriented education are completely opposite.

Secondly, it should be clear that quality education is a fundamental denial of "exam-oriented education", but it cannot be said that quality education is a fundamental denial of current education, because it cannot be said that current education is completely "exam-oriented education" and cannot be simply equated with "exam-oriented education". Primary and secondary school students in China have a solid grasp of basic knowledge and skills. There are many fine traditions in current education, which have made great contributions to China's socialist modernization. At the same time, the vast number of educators actively carry out educational reform, and explore a number of educational models such as "happy education", "successful education", "harmonious education", "creative education" and "subject education" and the overall reform experience of subject teaching. Some areas have also actively carried out regional quality education reform experiments and gained important experience. These reforms continue to develop in depth and breadth, laying a solid foundation for further promoting quality education in an all-round way. Put forward the transformation from "exam-oriented education" to all-round quality education, and do not deny the efforts and past achievements of educators; On the contrary, it is on the basis of past achievements and various reforms that the goal of implementing quality education is put forward.

Third, we should make clear the relationship between quality education and examination. Quality education is a basic education aimed at cultivating students' comprehensive quality. However, quality education does not deny exams, but requires exams as a means to measure the quality of education and teaching. It is not an either-or relationship to constantly reform and improve the examination contents, methods and educational evaluation system. Examination can serve both "exam-oriented education" and quality education. The tendency of quality education to deny "exam-oriented education" is not to cancel all exams indiscriminately, but to reform the purpose, content and methods of exams and improve and perfect the educational evaluation system. Deng Xiaoping said: "Examination is an important method to check the learning situation and teaching effect, just as checking the product quality is a necessary system to ensure the production level of the factory. Of course, you can't be superstitious about the exam, regard it as the only way to test the learning effect, and carefully study and experiment to improve the content and form of the exam and make its function perfect. " This is the correct attitude towards exams. In order to meet the requirements of quality education, in the stage of basic education, especially compulsory education, we should emphasize the level examination for all. If examination is an inevitable baton at present, then this baton should promote students to improve their quality in an all-round way. Education evaluation is comprehensive and education is easy to be comprehensive; Education evaluation depends on quality, and education also depends on quality.

Implementing quality education can overcome the disadvantages of "exam-oriented education" and accurately implement the educational policy of all-round development. It not only embodies an educational idea, but also shows an educational model, which emphasizes comprehensiveness, wholeness, wholeness, foundation and development. The practical experience over the years shows that quality education helps to overcome the problems in the implementation of the educational policy and provides an effective way and guarantee for the full implementation of the educational policy. But we should also understand the concept of exam-oriented education, especially the difference between exam and exam-oriented education. Never confuse current education with exam-oriented education, or you will get lost in education. Only by distinguishing these concepts well can we handle the relationship between quality education and exam-oriented education. Now, when it comes to quality education, some people immediately put exam-oriented education on its opposite side, slamming the disadvantages of exam-oriented education, as if there is no need to care about students' ability to take exams or engage in quality education. This is a typical' seeing the trees but not the forest', only seeing the disadvantages of exam-oriented education and not paying attention to the advantages of exam-oriented education.

Examination-oriented education has a long history, and the ancient imperial examination in China is a typical example. As the saying goes, "Learning to be excellent is an official", and the purpose of a scholar is only to finally get an official position. This educational method and feudal scientific research system are almost all preaching divorced from society, reality, thought and innovative spirit. The feudal science examination system destroyed generations of talents and seriously hindered the progress and development of China society. There is no doubt that what we are abandoning today is this feudal and backward exam-oriented education, not those advanced assessment methods. I would like to ask, how can we examine a person's true talent and knowledge without passing some form of examination? It won't work if we just pretend to be quality-oriented education and don't pay attention to teaching quality. In fact, the backwardness of exam-oriented education lies not in the exam itself, but in the scientific content of the exam. In other words, as long as we scientifically adopt examination methods to reflect and distinguish the true quality of candidates, we will find a balance between exam-oriented education and quality education.

The relationship between quality education and exam-oriented education is obvious. Quality education is the foundation, and exam-oriented education is only a means to test quality education. Therefore, in the teaching process, we must not concentrate on studying many crooked ways in exam-oriented education for the sake of candidates' final scores. For example, when the words "total" and "sum" appear in the calculation of math application problems in grade one, the so-called exam tips are instilled in children and they are asked to answer with "addition formula". This is not conducive to the cultivation of children's way of thinking, and is a typical exam-oriented education. For another example, look at the picture composition. There are five pentagrams in the picture. Ask the children to describe what they draw in the picture. Many teachers follow the thinking of exam-oriented education and instill it in their children as soon as they come up. It was the pattern of the national flag, so I moved out a series of sentences such as "love the motherland" that I had memorized for a long time. There is nothing wrong with educating children to love the motherland, but it is tantamount to killing their imagination. Can the five-pointed star only be found on the national flag? Of course, children can think of it as a star at night, or imagine it as a monster as big as hands, feet and head-this is my personal experience in teaching. A child regards the five corners of a five-pointed star as the head and limbs of an animal, and they can even regard it as a big star and four small stars playing' play house'. The children's views are full of imagination, but in the end, as long as our teacher guides them, their personality is completely lost. This is the harm of exam-oriented education. What's more, some schools cut off all courses such as physical education and music and replaced them with cultural courses, which is exam-oriented education that pays no attention to all-round development and only pays attention to scores.

Therefore, we should make use of the positive influence of heredity and environment to mobilize students' subjective initiative in understanding and practice, promote the all-round and harmonious development of students' physiology and psychology, intelligence and non-intelligence, cognition and intention, and promote the internalization of human culture into students' psychological quality. Only in this way can students have the ability of self-learning and self-adjustment when they leave their teachers in the future. If all students' knowledge is instilled by teachers, then there will definitely be a situation that' disciples are not as good as teachers'. The more advanced the education stage, the more impossible it is to teach, because teachers are not necessarily much better than students at that time.

Grasping the "foundation" of quality education and improving students' abilities in all aspects by diversified means are the top priority of current teaching. After the teaching is completed, using flexible and scientific examination means to check the students' mastery can not only understand the children's mastery, but also test the achievements of quality education at this stage and whether the quality education means adopted are appropriate. In short, the purpose of our teaching is no longer the students' test scores, but also the natural development of children. Only by combining quality training with examination means can we continuously improve children's ability to think and solve problems, which is the real purpose of our teaching.
