The fact that college students don't study is related to the teaching system in China.
At present, the teaching system in our country is that scores are paramount, and the college entrance examination commands everything. The present situation of education caused by this system is that although quality education has been talked about for several years, the result is only quality education on paper (that is, superficial articles made by schools), and fractional education is still implemented. From primary school, it is divided into key schools and non-key schools. The teaching equipment, teaching environment and teachers in key schools are all first-class, while those in non-key schools are weak. Therefore, children with poor grades cannot enter a good primary school, graduate from primary school, enter a good junior high school with low grades, and enter a good high school. Similarly, if your grades are not good, you will not be admitted to a good university, which means you will not have a good future. And as long as your score goes up, everyone is happy: parents and students are happy, and schools and teachers are rich and famous. So the score is amazing. Students, parents, teachers and schools often share weal and woe. Therefore, from students, parents to schools, all efforts are for scores.
First, students and parents go all out to get grades. At present, this battle has started since the first grade of primary school. Although it is said that you can go directly to junior high school without taking the exam after graduating from primary school, if any parents think so naively, you will have to pay a painful price for those children who graduated from primary school. So from the first grade, students have a lot of homework. The children do their homework as soon as they get home from school, and it's after nine o'clock when they preview. Those who write slowly or attend interest classes often go to bed after eleven o'clock. At an early age, they are busier than the staff in the State Council. I have to attend various interest classes on weekends, so how can I have time to study? Besides, parents don't want to read it, thinking it's better to do more exercises and read more compositions. At school, there is even less time to watch. My child is in the first grade, and the speed of doing homework is fairly fast. For a while, I wanted her to have time to play and read for a while, so that the children could finish their homework as soon as possible. During that time, the child did read some books, but her teacher immediately called and said that my child's homework was not carefully checked and there were always low-level mistakes. I hope parents can supervise him carefully. Children finish quickly, but even so, those with poor grades and slow homework have no time.
In junior high school, students' learning tasks are even heavier. They fight with exercises all day, and dare not take it lightly. All actions are key high schools. In high school, it is even more difficult. Everything is for the university, except the composition selection, all other books are redundant.
Second, the teacher. Many teachers also know the importance of students reading. A student has a wide range of knowledge, and his thinking ability and learning ability will be much stronger. However, because there are many courses and time is limited, the benefits brought by reading more books are intangible, and it will be many years before even the students become adults, and the results are immediate. If students get good grades, schools and teachers will have fame and bonuses, and students will be admitted to better schools. Moreover, the education department often ranks a school by the number of people admitted to a good school, and the school is under great pressure. Who wants to fall behind? In the back, there is no money for you, and parents don't let their children read. So the teacher is very helpless and can't think so much. In order to make students get good grades, teachers are exhausted, so how to guide students to read? Unless you have nine lives. Because I also worked as a middle school teacher.
Reading habits are cultivated from childhood. Most college students are busy with exams from the bottom up, and they have learned a unique skill in the exams. However, how can they study without a good reading habit? A person's habit is long-term, and the habit we students develop is to recite textbooks and exam answers, not to study and read independently. If they don't study, it will be difficult for them to understand the teacher's lectures, so they don't like listening to lectures. They don't study, their knowledge is narrow, their thoughts are not profound, and their understanding of things is not thorough enough, so they don't want to study.
Let's take a look at education in the United States and Hong Kong SAR. Students there also have to take exams, but they don't test the ability of rote memorization, but the ability of learning. In the United States, primary and secondary school teaching seems to be very casual, but people are not under pressure to memorize grades. Teachers mainly instruct students how to study. In order to solve the problems given by teachers, students have to go to the library to consult a lot of materials, read a lot of books and take a lot of notes. Sometimes, a student just solves a problem, but what he learns is far more than what we recite. Therefore, a third-grade primary school student can write a paper with hundreds of thousands of words, but many of our undergraduates still don't understand the paper format, so they have to copy a paper with thousands of words online. Children are taught how to study by themselves since childhood, and we teach them how to cope with exams.
Some want to read, but you can't read much. Now that students have not finished their studies, recruitment has begun, and the employment statistics of the education department have also begun. For example, students should only graduate in July every year, but the job fair starts in 1 month, and the education department will count the employment rate of students in April and May. Employers also require students to have work experience. As a result, university teaching in the whole country has shrunk: four-year undergraduate courses have become more than three years, three-year junior colleges have become two and a half years, and two-year technical secondary schools have become one and a half years. The school has to do this. The employment rate will be in March and April, and you are still in class, so your employment rate is zero, which will affect the enrollment of the school. On the other hand, the employment pressure is great, even if no one listens to your school class, the employer should recruit people with work experience. There are more and more graduates every year, and students are afraid of not finding jobs. Who can settle down to attend the class in the last issue?
Therefore, in order to work, all kinds of certificates and work experience have to go to college, and there has been no way to study.
Most college students don't study because they can't blame students, teachers or schools. To change this phenomenon, the key is to start with the teaching system and promote the reform of the teaching system, especially the college entrance examination reform.
