Behind the controversy that the college entrance examination champion missed the Qingbei: "score only theory" is still the mainstream
Tech observer
Because he couldn't get to Tsinghua University and Peking University, Bai Moumou, the first place in Jiangsu's liberal arts college entrance examination, seemed to be the most concerned provincial champion. Bai Moumou got 430 points (full score 480) in the college entrance examination this year, but his elective subject history grade score is only B+, which does not meet the grade requirements of Tsinghua and Peking University and even many famous schools.
The champion can't go to the school he likes, and public opinion feels sorry for the girl. Some people call for an exceptional admission. Bai said that despite regrets, he still accepts this result.
This regret originates from the unique college entrance examination model in Jiangsu Province, which is basically designed as "Examination of Foreign Languages and Mathematics + Academic Proficiency Test + Comprehensive Quality Evaluation". Academic proficiency test scores are not included in the total scores of the college entrance examination, only grades are given.
Therefore, Bai XX's title of No. 1 in the college entrance examination is not accurate. The results of the college entrance examination in Jiangsu Province are originally the scores of extra-linguistic mathematics + the scores of the grade test, which cannot be divided. The college entrance examination program has been implemented in Jiangsu Province for many years, and examples of "high scores and low grades" like Bai XX have appeared many times. High-scoring students missed the prestigious school, and they have repeatedly raised doubts.
In addition to doubts, we can also see the complexity of the college entrance examination reform.
Exam-oriented thinking is still the mainstream in society. In spite of frequent appeals, it is not possible to set a lifelong exam, and the college entrance examination results cannot be used as the only basis for admission. But what everyone values and cares about is still the score. It is believed that high scores should naturally be linked to prestigious schools, that the scores of the non-language mathematics test are naturally more important than the grade test scores, and that high score candidates should be given some kind of "extraordinary" privilege. In the final analysis, it is score worship.
Some people say, why is Xueba "delayed" by a history? This is because the choice of subjects for the college entrance examination must not only ensure the individual choice space, but also take into account the rigid restrictions on the selection and training of talents in colleges and universities, and also reflect the overall and long-term interests of the country. Therefore, the test design stipulates that candidates must take a certain test. It is reasonable for colleges and universities to stipulate that certain subjects must get a certain result when enrolled.
Starting next year, Jiangsu Province will change the mode of college entrance examination. Optional examination subjects will be increased to "6 choose 3", all subjects are included in the college entrance examination scores.
The college entrance examination itself is a complicated system. The reform of the college entrance examination requires both innovation and inheritance. Regardless of how it is changed, one thing is clear, that is, to adhere to the basic positioning of the college entrance examination reform as "conducive to promoting quality education, promoting educational fairness, and conducive to scientific selection of talents", adhere to educational fairness, and respect the laws of education.
The college entrance examination is changing, and the deep-rooted "score-only theory" should be changed.
