We grew up in the shadow of exam-oriented education, and many students are very disgusted with it. They think that if learning is the main means to cope with exams, then such learning is invalid. What kind of attitude should we take towards this kind of education?

? In Baidu Encyclopedia, exam-oriented education in China is defined as follows: exam-oriented education, also known as cramming education, is the essence of the current education system in China. Generally speaking, it is an education system with the main purpose of improving students' ability to take exams, and attaches great importance to test scores, recitation and problem solving, which are not two corresponding concepts with quality education. This kind of education system is the only popular education system in Middle Ages and modern East Asia and Europe, because a large number of technical talents can be trained through the guidance and strict training of masters. However, under the capitalist reform, European and American countries gradually turned to "quality education" after the demand for pioneering generalists increased greatly, while East Asian countries still adhered to the examination-oriented system.

? Now many students and parents are beginning to oppose this model of exam-oriented education. They think that under this rigid educational model, it is difficult for students to divergent thinking and develop in an all-round way. Nowadays, more and more enterprises need more high-quality talents. Those who can only learn, have good grades but low ability, and even have no basic interpersonal skills, it is difficult for them to have a foothold in society.

China has had the imperial examination system since ancient times, and it has gradually continued and developed to the present college entrance examination system, which has led to the education in China always focusing on exam-oriented education. However, in today's competitive society, exam-oriented education is no longer suitable for the needs of development. Therefore, the country has carried out the reform of new curriculum standards and advocated the transformation of education from exam-oriented education to quality education.

The so-called quality education refers to the educational model aimed at improving the quality of the educated in all aspects. It attaches importance to people's ideological and moral quality, ability training, personality development, physical health and mental health education. Quality education and exam-oriented education are corresponding, but they are not absolutely opposite concepts, because they are not antonyms in meaning. Seeking education for all-around development under the examination system is also the basic foothold of teaching method reform based on the current reality in China. But in fact, China's quality education has not achieved much.

Quality education is a kind of personalized education. From the teacher's point of view, personalized education is a kind of high-level creative labor, which is the expression of teacher's personality, style, creative spirit and creative ability. Teachers' success, joy and value are nothing more than the word "creation". Creation makes education and teaching activities full of magical charm, which is the reason why students are willing to learn. As far as the requirements for students are concerned, personalized education insists on taking students' personality as the starting point and cultivating students' personality as the starting point to reach the peak of all-round development, that is, starting from the reality of each student, guiding students to obtain a better foundation in their fields of interest, first highlighting their own achievements, enjoying the joy of success, stimulating self-esteem and self-motivation, thus promoting the all-round development of personality.

? Examination-oriented education is a model education. From the perspective of teachers' teaching, model education is a low-level simple work, characterized by imitation, copying and repetition. The monotonous one-way consumption of teachers year after year and day after day is the root of students' weariness of learning. As far as the requirements for students are concerned, model education is unified, which is unified all over the world, that is, unified planning, unified teaching materials, unified requirements, unified activities and unified standards, completely ignoring the special hobbies and talent development shown by children's personality. This mode of education can only cultivate people without personality and specialty.

? No matter what kind of education mode China lives in today, the most important thing for us as students is to learn basic cultural knowledge, improve our abilities in all aspects on the basis of improving our grades, and connect with the society in order to find our own position after entering the society in the future!
