Shortly after the college entrance examination, Xiao Cui, a graduate of Wuhan high school, estimated his score and began to think about filling in his volunteers.

Volunteer filling cannot just look at "big data"
The child's personality and interests should be considered
Industry insiders said that, in essence, the AI reporting system is an auxiliary system for voluntary reporting for the college entrance examination built on the basis of big data.
Therefore, the accuracy of data is the most important factor to measure its reference value.
In this regard, Zhang Zhikai, a famous teacher in Wuhan High School who has been teaching for 23 years, analyzed that Hubei Province will only enter the new college entrance examination mode in 2021. There are many combinations of subjects in the college entrance examination. The number of subjects selected for various subject combinations in the past three years has changed greatly; In the process of continuous exploration and development of reform and college entrance examination reform, university admission policies have also changed a lot.
Therefore, for candidates in Hubei, the opinions provided by the intelligent reporting assistance system are only a reference when filling in the application, and their data calculation results cannot be trusted.
In addition, there are many colleges and universities that collect volunteers every year, which will also have a great impact on the accuracy of the data.
Zhang Zhikai said that the role of the AI reporting system is big data screening, and it is difficult to provide personalized recommendations.
"In the same score segment, the AI system recommends similar results for all candidates, but it cannot analyze each child's personality characteristics, career interests, etc."
"Volunteering for the college entrance examination is related to the development direction and career choice of a child's life. It cannot be solved by simple data calculation." Liu Jianghua, a teacher at Wuhan Iron and Steel No. 3 Middle School who has just completed a class of senior high school graduates this year, said that volunteering should first respect children's interests. Hobbies and career planning, and on this basis, choose the city, university and major that your child likes.
Liu Jianghua believes that the discussion and analysis between parents and children is not only a process of filling out volunteers, but also a process of strengthening parent-child communication and conveying values and life concepts.
"On the premise that these issues have been clearly figured out, if it is difficult to make up your mind, it is a relatively rational approach to use the intelligent reporting system to provide further reference opinions."
