The advantages and disadvantages of quality education and exam-oriented education have become a hot topic in education. As a middle school student, if you deeply understand the advantages and disadvantages of the current education system, you should understand how to study and how to develop morally, intellectually and physically.
In the exam-oriented education system, the college entrance examination can best reflect the characteristics of this education system. The exam that exam-oriented education should deal with is mainly the college entrance examination. All educational activities are centered on the college entrance examination, which is the baton, which is what we call exam-oriented education.
The biggest feature of exam-oriented education is to obey the college entrance examination, so the reform of the education system is the reform of the college entrance examination system. The launch of "3+X" program is an attempt to reform the college entrance examination system in China. "3" in "3+X" refers to three basic subjects: Chinese, Mathematics and Foreign Languages. The "3+X" program aims at improving students' comprehensive quality and breaking strange phenomena such as high scores and low abilities. But this unknown "X" is likely to become a new burden for students. The "X" of "3+X" has changed from an unknown to an unknown, resulting in a heavier burden on students.
Examination-oriented education under the college entrance examination system pays more attention to knowledge infusion. However, under this educational system, the college entrance examination has gradually become the only criterion for evaluating a student's learning ability and a teacher's teaching level. Under the pressure of "one exam for life", teachers continue to supplement students with counseling materials and set up remedial classes outside the normal teaching scope. The burden on students is getting heavier and heavier, and the glasses are getting thicker and thicker. Learning is no longer a pleasure, but a burden and pressure.
It is under the pressure of college entrance examination that teachers only pay attention to academic performance, and the moral education of students has reached the point of indifference.
The comprehensive examination has increased the burden on students. As long as there is a college entrance examination, the teacher will urge the students to study. In this way, there will be more homework and some exams that I didn't take before. Moreover, the teacher's teaching method is similar to other subjects: exercises with mountains and seas. The students are caught in another "strange circle" of exams.
Li Linzi, a senior three student in the middle school affiliated to Peking University, won the second prize at the awarding ceremony of the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" essay activity held by the State Planning Commission. As an ordinary middle school student, he put forward the dual-track system of implementing quality education in his article, which made the educational reform of implementing quality education once again become a topic of concern.
In his article, he proposed that the implementation of quality education should also be a dual-track system: another quality education system should be established in parallel with the current education system, and the dual-track system should be implemented, so that exam-oriented education and quality education can compete with each other and be adjusted by the market (students, enrollment units and employers) to improve the quality of education.
Different from other calls for education reform and quality education, Li Linzi called for quality education and put forward some suggestions on how to implement quality education. In his two-track proposal, we don't completely deny the exam-oriented education, but implement a parallel quality education system at the same time as the exam-oriented education, so that the market can choose who to choose and who to eliminate. Li Linzi said that the current education system is like a railway line. Each station is only immersed in its own section and can't see the stations connected to it. He hopes that the education reform can connect all the fragments well and form a whole, instead of separating them.
On March 6th, when discussing the government work report, Xue, a deputy to the Ninth National People's Congress, also said that from the situation of middle schools, the "3+X" reform changed from five to nine, 10. As a result, the burden has not been reduced, but has increased. Because as long as the college entrance examination is to be taken, teachers are afraid to teach and students are afraid to learn. The "3+X" program has changed the original situation of separating arts and sciences, but it has not changed the most important means of selecting talents in colleges and universities-the college entrance examination. The single-plank bridge is still there, and the number of people going up to squeeze has not decreased. As Xue, a deputy to the National People's Congress, said: "Selecting talents in colleges and universities is still a test paper of life. In this case, quality education is more important. As long as the college entrance examination fails or fails, students will not attach importance to it, parents will not attach importance to it, and society will not attach importance to it. Even if the principal and teacher pay more attention, they can only get twice the result with half the effort. "
In order to implement quality education, schools can have students' own radio stations, bands, school magazines and sports teams ... but under the pressure of further education, we students have no energy and time to cultivate these hobbies. If the college entrance examination system does not change, students will never have their own space, and all quality training will be empty talk.
1 (turn) Advantages and disadvantages of exam-oriented education
Examination-oriented education makes campus network a luxury "advanced toy"
On March 27th, Guangming Daily reported that a recent survey conducted by China Information Newspaper Enterprise Department under the National Bureau of Statistics with the theme of "Application Status and Demand of Campus Network in Primary and Secondary Schools" showed that the construction of campus network was entering a period of rapid growth, with the proportions of provincial key points, municipal key points and ordinary junior high schools being 30. 1%, 28% and 36.3% respectively, which was the basis for implementing quality education. However, the implementation of modern educational technology not only needs to master modern information technology, but also needs to establish modern educational concepts and have noble professional ethics. In some middle schools where exam-oriented education is booming, the concept is outdated and the teachers' morality is unbalanced, so the campus network has become a luxury "advanced toy".
In order to run a national high school model school well, a city invested 5 million yuan to build a campus network for a key middle school. Brand-new teachers' desks are equipped with networked computers. This year, computers and projectors will be added to every classroom with five machines and one scene in the whole school, making it a multimedia classroom and opening the electronic reading room for students. The equipment is so advanced that teachers in ordinary middle schools in this area are envious.
Teachers' office computers should be used to collect data, study teaching materials, design teaching plans, make courseware, exchange teaching and research information with colleagues inside and outside the school, and of course, they should also be used to learn computer technology, information processing technology and integration technology covering multimedia, network and virtual technology that modern teachers must learn. Since the computer was equipped, the once deserted teacher's office suddenly became steaming, but there were not many classes and studies on the computer. Many people played games, watched CDs, played chess and gambled at cards. In the past, playing cards in the office required several people to sit together and use matchsticks as chips. After playing, they exchange accounts for money, which is easy for students and parents to catch. Now, each of them is sitting on a computer connected to the internet to play. The computer has accurate counting, small target and high safety factor, and even parents can play together. "How cool!"
Clever students and parents who came to visit the school soon understood the secret of the teacher's sudden enthusiasm for "sitting in class". A girl sent her exercise book. When she saw that the teacher was a naked woman on the computer color screen, she ran away blushing and complained after returning to the classroom: "What a boring teacher! On weekdays, we are taught not to look at boring things, but they are looking at themselves! " A boy ran to the office to ask questions. The teacher said he was busy and told him to wait. When he looked intently, there was a card on the teacher's computer color display. He turned and left. Afterwards, he said, "Teachers can play cards on public computers for free during working hours. What's wrong with us paying for Internet cafes after class? "
This information was quickly reflected by students and parents to the principal and relevant departments. The headmaster was so angry that he had to criticize it twice at the staff meeting, announcing that "whoever plays on the office computer will take his computer" and "whoever plays cards during office hours will be fired immediately". But this is just talk. Nothing serious.
On February 25 this year, the "senior high school entrance examination" was divided into slow classes, which coincided with the winter vacation of two typists in the printing room. Although all the proposition teachers have office computers and passed the first-class computer certificate exam, they are still not proficient in typing. They can only write the test paper on paper, and then let the printing room copy it, or find a set of questions on the materials. Even the English test papers are written by hand. An old comrade said with great emotion after seeing it: "Young teachers in their twenties and thirties are unwilling to learn typing even if they are equipped with computers. Is it because they spent more than 5 million yuan to build a campus network and want to buy them an advanced toy? So that dozens of multimedia classrooms will not be' moldy' after being installed? "
The author once telephoned a key middle school in the province and learned that they had encountered such embarrassment after the completion of the campus network. After vigorous rectification, the situation has improved slightly. I hope only a few middle schools have such problems. People outside the bureau may ask: teachers are busy enough to teach and educate people, so how can they still have time to play computer games? The campus network is very advanced and is a good helper for teaching. If a teacher learns to apply it, it will certainly add to the power. How can it be used as a toy? Insiders say that the teaching style is not what it used to be, which is the evil result of exam-oriented education!
A principal said: "The hard index for evaluating middle schools is the results of the college entrance examination. The level of middle school teachers is similar, and the class is similar. The key is to hold on tight. Grasping the college entrance examination will produce results. " The so-called "grasping tightly" means daring to charge fees, make up lessons, and order information to fight naval battles. Since the teaching goal is to take the exam, it is unnecessary to give consideration to students' personality, comprehensive quality, practical ability and innovative spirit, and the requirements for teachers are greatly reduced.
Students study for exams, and the burden is getting heavier and heavier; Teachers teach for exams, and the requirements are getting lower and lower; If you make up more lessons, you will have more class hours. You can have several classes in one class, and simple repetition can be endless, so there is no pressure to teach. There are many books, so it is important to guide students to explore the sea and answer questions, and it is easy to prepare lessons. Books are made by construction, and all kinds of topics are like mountains and seas, and no one can finish reading them. You don't need to write and type by yourself. The easier it is for teachers to prepare lessons and attend classes, the greater the inertia of learning textbooks and teaching methods, the less the pressure to improve teaching level, the weaker the sense of urgency to learn modern educational ideas and technologies, the more time they play, and the more chaotic things will be. Fu Min, a special English teacher in North No.7 Middle School, hit the nail on the head: "Teachers who engage in sea tactics are incompetent." In "Three Treatises on Poor Teachers", Jin pointed out that "it is probably very difficult for a teacher not to become a poor teacher" in the living environment of "chasing films" in schools. Examination-oriented education is breeding "poor teachers", and "poor teachers" are defending examination-oriented education. Once the "poor teachers" become the backbone and exam-oriented education becomes the mainstream, can the modern campus network not be embarrassed?
