"Minor" is not important?
In the traditional subject concept, cultural courses offered in middle schools are often divided into main courses and auxiliary courses. The so-called major subjects refer to the examination subjects of the college entrance examination, and the minor subjects refer to the non-examination subjects of the college entrance examination. Especially after the college entrance examination adopts the examination form of arts and sciences, physics, chemistry and biology become minor subjects for liberal arts students, while politics, history and geography become minor subjects for science students. Although all courses offered in junior and senior high schools must pass graduation examinations, students still consciously or unconsciously divide culture courses into major subjects and minor subjects due to the influence of multiple factors such as learning interest, the reality of college entrance examination and the guidance of teachers and parents. Is minor course really that unimportant? Student: "Minor" is useless because minor has little influence on ranking and further education, and most students hold the attitude of learning but not learning about minor. Middle school students have said: "In the classroom of minor courses, the teachers of minor courses generally don't care whether the homework of the main course is written or not." "The students in the class don't pay much attention to minor subjects. As the exam is coming, they sharpen their knives and get almost the same score. Anyway, they will not take the college entrance examination. " Students who were originally good at sub-subjects also said: "It doesn't matter whether the test scores are high or low. It's no use getting high marks. Students will only think that learning the entrance exam subjects well is the real ability, and there will be no interest in learning over time. " Indeed, without the encouragement of the examination evaluation system, students' motivation to study minor subjects will naturally fade. Many times, minor courses such as art and music are "divided" by major subjects such as Chinese, mathematics and foreign languages, and even squeezed out of the classroom. Even if these minor courses are arranged on the curriculum, they will generally be squeezed by the main course teachers. Such as physics, chemistry, biology or politics, history, geography and other subjects. Those who are far away from the academic proficiency test or after the test will also be squeezed out by major disciplines such as Chinese, mathematics and foreign languages, or turn the euphemistic "string class" into a practical "important class". As for the weekly activity classes, they are basically cleaning classes. The higher the grade, the more crowded the minor subjects are. Expert: The concept needs to be changed. Why is the "minor course" in such an awkward position? Relevant experts believe: "First, students' neglect of minor subjects is caused by the general environment, and the main factor lies in the examination setting of the college entrance examination, but there is no obvious distinction between primary and secondary;" "Second, except for special students, most middle school students don't pay attention to minor courses, and the heavy academic burden is one of the important reasons. The goal of the school is to aim at the enrollment rate. Faced with numerous subjects and exams, students can't breathe at all and can only concentrate on subjects that they think are important. Thirdly, whether teachers with minor subjects can attract students is also an important factor. Because students, schools and parents don't pay as much attention as the main courses, the teachers of the auxiliary courses themselves will lower the requirements for the fineness and attractiveness of the courses, and the popularity of such courses depends largely on the charm of the teachers. We should change the traditional ideas left over from exam-oriented education in the past and study all courses from the perspective of coping with life rather than exams. " In addition, all primary and secondary schools should offer all courses and class hours in strict accordance with the national, provincial and municipal curriculum plans, and all primary and secondary schools should not increase the class hours of senior high school entrance examination subjects, reduce the class hours of non-senior high school entrance examination subjects, or stop offering these courses. University enrollment: the minor score has a certain influence on the reference value of undergraduate enrollment minor score. Teacher Zhang Xueliang of Nankai University Admissions Office pointed out: "At present, in Tianjin's university enrollment policy, the minor score has a certain influence. Take Nankai University's independent enrollment as an example. On the premise of meeting the enrollment conditions, students can recommend themselves to participate in the independent enrollment and selection of Nankai University if they get A's in the high school level examination organized by Tianjin. At present, except for special candidates, there are no relevant incentive policies for music, art, sports and other subjects. " Regarding the trend of "minor subjects" in college enrollment, Mr. Zhang reminded candidates: "The important role of academic proficiency test in college enrollment gives us a signal: the most fundamental requirement of quality education is to let students develop in an all-round way in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, beauty and labor, and improve their comprehensive quality. At present, some provinces, cities and schools have made requirements for the information technology grade examination scores of primary and secondary school students. Under the general trend of quality education, many' minor courses' in the traditional sense may become important. For the all-round development of individuals and the improvement of comprehensive quality, students should seriously face each course. "There is no minor in study and life, and any subject in everyone's primary and secondary schools is important. According to the tradition in China, some people are born eccentric and eccentric. For amateurs and geeks, those minor courses are their potential, and the classroom of minor courses is their main position. Therefore, minor subjects are not dispensable in the traditional sense, and may even be an important factor affecting personal growth.
