Cancel the personal views of liberal arts students
Shi, executive vice president of Beijing Normal University, said that teachers, students and parents are not unaware of the disadvantages of early separation of arts and sciences. The fundamental reason for their opposition is that they are worried that it will affect the enrollment rate of the college entrance examination.

Yang Yinfu, director of the Education Policy Evaluation Office of the National Education Development Research Center, said that great scientists at home and abroad have broad humanistic vision and profound humanistic feelings. From the perspective of national progress, there is no doubt that the division of arts and sciences in senior high schools will be abolished. However, the abolition of discipline division should be carried out step by step, steadily, and make a good transition and convergence.

"Canceling the division of arts and sciences can weaken the examination-oriented education and make students' knowledge structure more reasonable and comprehensive. Wang Canfa, an associate professor at China Communication University, said that even if students enter the university, they should receive general education in the first and second grades, and then learn professional knowledge after mastering certain basic knowledge.

Will the cancellation of subjects increase the burden on students?

A few years ago, Jiangsu Province carried out a pilot project to cancel the division of arts and sciences, and implemented a "3+ comprehensive" program in the college entrance examination. "3" is Chinese, mathematics and foreign languages, while "comprehensive" covers six courses: physics, chemistry, biology, history, geography and politics. However, the program was only implemented for one year, and then it stopped because students had to master nine courses at the same time, which was too heavy a burden.

"If the current college entrance examination system is not changed, it may be unfavorable for students to cancel the division of arts and sciences." Tu Yanguo, dean of the School of Education of Huazhong Normal University, said that some schools now implement the separation of arts and sciences when students enter the first year of high school, "so that students can concentrate more on taking the college entrance examination." A high school teacher in Beijing admits that students in liberal arts and sciences are generally biased and their knowledge structure is seriously flawed. "The idea of canceling the division of arts and sciences is reasonable, but under the current college entrance examination system, students will be very tired, and we are also very contradictory as teachers."

In this regard, Yang Yinfu has different views. He said that the real burden of middle school students does not come from what they have learned, but from being forced to study uninterested courses and conduct highly utilitarian training. After the cancellation of the division of arts and sciences, schools should increase the proportion of elective courses, dilute the traditional concept of class, implement the system of moving classes, and implement grading and grading teaching. In this way, although there will be more courses, students can devote more energy to subjects they are interested in. "Overall, it will not increase the burden, but will be an interest-led learning."

What supporting reforms are needed to cancel the business division?

During the interview, experts generally believed that there must be supporting reform measures to cancel the division of arts and sciences in senior high schools, and the corresponding student evaluation system should also be reformed, especially the college entrance examination system. Only in this way, parents and students don't have to worry too much about the "way out" problem.

A middle school teacher commented on People's Online that the current curriculum is a big obstacle. "Shouted for many years to reduce the burden. Why are students still complaining? " Because many nominal quality education is just a gesture, it increases the burden after school. "

Tu Yanguo said that in Russia, the United States and other countries, politics, history, physics, chemistry and other small subjects in high schools are offered in the form of elective courses, rather than clear liberal arts subjects. China qualified schools might as well take the lead and establish a "compulsory+elective" curriculum system. He suggested canceling the division of subjects, greatly changing the high school curriculum, expanding the coverage of knowledge and reducing the difficulty; In addition, high school is originally a basic education, and this stage should pay attention to the cultivation of students' willingness to learn.

Shi believes that there is a major premise to cancel the division of arts and sciences in high schools, that is, basic education should be balanced and the gross enrollment rate of higher education in all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities should be balanced. It is suggested that the college entrance examination is simpler on the basis of the national examination, and universities can take separate examinations according to the needs of specific majors when enrolling students.

Xiong Bingqi, a professor at Shanghai Jiaotong University, suggested that the current college entrance examination should be changed into an academic proficiency test, focusing on students' ability and quality, and making the test results more universal. In addition, an urgent problem closely related to the cancellation of liberal arts in senior high schools is how to establish the credibility of independent enrollment in colleges and universities, establish a multi-admission system, and implement independent enrollment. The formulation of the Outline of the National Medium and Long-term Education Reform and Development Plan should strive to create conditions for the "feasibility" of not separating arts from science.

People's Daily Online users made suggestions.

I am a senior three student, and I like both physics and history, so I was very confused when I was divided into two subjects in senior two, and I didn't know how to choose. If there is no need to separate arts and sciences, if all courses are read through and integrated with each other, they can also become "generalists" who meet the needs of modern society. Besides, arts and sciences are not contradictory. Many scientists are majoring in arts and sciences, which is also my future ideal.

China's middle school mathematics and physics may be the most difficult in the world, and only by challenging the sea tactics can we win. Except for a few gifted students in mathematics and physics, most of them are very difficult to learn. Even for liberal arts students, their time is basically occupied by math and physics homework before they are divided into subjects. Where should I start studying humanities courses? Therefore, to cancel the division of arts and sciences, it is necessary to adjust the curriculum so that students have more free space to choose courses.

If there is no college entrance examination, it doesn't matter if you take more courses. If you want to take the college entrance examination, you must have priorities and have so much energy. Therefore, the abolition of the division of arts and sciences in senior high schools lies in reforming the college entrance examination system and correcting the disadvantages of exam-oriented education. Otherwise, if there are no supporting reform measures, it will only make students' academic burden heavier and heavier. In addition, colleges and universities should also adjust the training system. The narrow professional enrollment policy not only causes serious defects in the knowledge structure of talents, but also is not conducive to students' future employment.
