China News Service Client, Beijing, July 14th (Reporter Zhang Ni) The national college entrance examination in 2020 has ended, and all regions have entered into a intensive examination paper review. In the eyes of ordinary people, the college entrance examination papers are quite "mysterious", which is also related to the future destiny of thousands of students. Tens of millions of candidates' test papers are evaluated in a short period of time. Even if the workload is heavy, they must be objective and fair.
Recently, many places have disclosed to the outside world the relevant arrangements for the examination papers for this year's college entrance examination and the examination process, from personnel selection, to hardware configuration, to the security and confidentiality of the assessment points and epidemic prevention and control.

Who will score the high exam papers?
——The teacher must satisfy these conditions
For many people who have passed the college entrance examination, it may be unclear who is reviewing their test papers. So, how are the reviewers who decide the score of each candidate selected?
In fact, the selection of reviewers in various places can be said to be "strictly strict", and they have clear requirements for their professional titles, teaching experience, and experience in reviewing papers.
Taking Hainan as an example, this year, the province began the work of assessing various subjects in the college entrance examination on July 14. Recommended by colleges, teaching and research institutions, and ordinary middle schools, the Hainan Provincial Examination Bureau strictly recruited 710 teachers to participate in the assessment, and all the assessment teacher titles are at the secondary school level or above.
According to the arrangement, the Hainan Provincial Examination Bureau has previously organized a mobilization and training conference for all assessment teachers, and organized training and examination work. After all the assessment teachers have passed the assessment, the official assessment work of various subjects can be started.
Hebei this year has transferred more than 2,100 teachers with years of teaching experience and key disciplines from the whole province to take the assessment work, and before the official assessment, train the teachers participating in the assessment.
In Jiangsu, a total of more than 2,200 qualified teachers and staff members were selected this year. All teachers must participate in the training assessment and test evaluation organized by the assessment points.
It is worth mentioning that Jiangsu also stipulates that the marking teachers who have larger scores and more subjective test questions have more than 3 years of teaching and research experience and evaluation experience. In addition, reviewers who have an incorrect attitude and fail to pass the review will be blacklisted by the provincial examination institute and withdraw from the review site.

High-tech encryption keeps you safe
——Special optical fiber for all-round monitoring and transmission in the marking field
In recent years, there have been more and more high-tech elements in the college entrance examination.
For example, in Chongqing, more than 1,500 computers, 30 servers and 12 high-speed scanners were put into use this year.
According to reports, the 12 high-speed scanners used in the marking field can process more than 200,000 test papers per day, which greatly improves the efficiency of marking. In addition, Chongqing also conducts comprehensive monitoring of the entire assessment site.
In Jiangsu, the test paper is equipped with a high-speed special scanner. When scanning the test paper, the content of the test paper will be cut into pictures, and the information such as the candidate's name admission ticket will be encrypted, and then passed directly to each test point through a special optical fiber. The dedicated optical fiber for transmission is completely isolated from the Internet to prevent any possible information leakage.
While marking students in Hebei, the marking teachers will also receive real-time technical dynamic monitoring. The leader of each marking group can perform real-time dynamic monitoring on each grader, track and monitor the quality of the grade, and make timely adjustments to the teachers who have problems with the grade.

How to maintain a fair score for subjective questions?
——Score setting multiple levels, difficult issues arbitration discussion
The objective and impartial assessment of college entrance examinations is related to the fate of candidates, so the methods of assessment are also very particular.
At present, the non-choice question part adopts the "four-evaluation" marking system.
Jiangsu stipulates that each review panel will review the cut question blocks separately, and each question block will be randomly distributed to two different reviewer teachers for independent review.
According to the regulations, if the scores scored by the two persons are within the range of the score threshold set by the subject assessment expert group, the average of the scores scored by the two persons shall be taken; Three evaluations; if it still exceeds the scoring threshold, it will be submitted to the fourth teacher for the fourth evaluation.
In addition, the difficult problems encountered in the assessment process are collectively resolved by the assessment expert group.
The expert of Jiangsu College Entrance Examination Chinese Language Evaluation Group and Professor Cao of the School of Letters of Southern Normal University introduced that in the Chinese language evaluation paper, the evaluation group will focus on correcting the phenomenon of high scores and low scores during the evaluation process for the composition evaluation papers that the candidates and parents are most concerned about. Correct "false cases and wrong cases", strictly control excellent compositions, and carefully identify the phenomenon of low scores and high scores. The team leader and the personnel of the expert group will also conduct uninterrupted and dead-end repeated inspections, and organize the inspection team to conduct random inspections on the composition evaluation papers.
In order to reduce errors, Hebei Province also implements a similar "three assessment plus arbitration" review process for non- multiple choice questions.
In Hainan, each disciplinary group has a dedicated quality assessment team. Quality inspectors sample the subject’s assessment on the same day and monitor the “score distribution, average score, standard deviation, assessment volume, and number of invalid assessments” in real time. Indicators, accurately grasp the overall situation of the scoring criteria.

Reading is no longer "mysterious"
—— Hold many open days to invite candidates and parents to observe
In recent years, various regions have also strived to make the examination papers more transparent, and by holding the "Assessment Open Day" activity, candidates and parents are invited to observe the scene in person.
On the 12th, Jiangsu Provincial Educational Examination Institute held the on-site open day activity of the 2020 college entrance examination assessment paper. More than ten candidates and parents' representatives came to the site of the college entrance examination assessment paper, and visited the answering card storage group, the scanning group and the language subject assessment group successively.
Guizhou Provincial Admissions Examination Institute also organized and carried out the activities of the "Open Day of Assessment Paper" for the 2020 college entrance examination on the 14th.
However, this year's "Assessment Open Day" activity also puts forward requirements for candidates or parents who sign up.
For example, Guizhou made it clear that the candidates who signed up must be the candidates or parents of the province’s college entrance examination this year, and did not leave the province within 14 days before the event. The measured body temperature on the day of the event was not higher than 37.3°C, and the Guizhou health code was a green code.

The examination section must also be strictly epidemic-proof
——Wear masks, hand disinfection, meal sharing system
In the college entrance examination under a special background, even when it comes to the examination process, epidemic prevention is also a top priority.
As early as before the college entrance examination, the Ministry of Education issued a document requesting that the epidemic prevention work should be done in an orderly manner. According to the requirements, the examination personnel hand over the examination papers, answer sheets, draft paper and other examination materials in an orderly manner as required. Strictly implement closed management of assessment points or assessment areas, and implement a daily report system of assessment teachers' health status.
After starting the assessment work, the localities also refined the measures.
For example, Hebei requires the establishment of a health status account, requiring all staff to provide self-health monitoring and whereabouts reports at least 14 days before arrival. Carry out daily health monitoring during the work period, and implement a "daily report" and "zero report" system.
In Anhui, during the examination papers for college entrance examinations, in addition to requiring the elimination of the examination points, the staff’s temperature measurement and information registration, etc., the staff also implements a meal-sharing system for meals, and regularly places food and accommodation, transportation Disinfect to ensure that the assessment work is carried out smoothly.
In Jiangsu, in addition to requiring all assessment teachers to "walk in and out," as in previous years, all assessment teachers this year will sterilize their hands and wear masks to enter the examination site before assessment. (Finish)
