Volunteer, remember these principles
[On the way to the college entrance examination, solve doubts]
As the saying goes, seven points test, three points report. At the end of the college entrance examination, applying for volunteers has become the most concerned issue of candidates and parents. Ideals and reality, interest and employment, who is in front and behind, and which is more important? What's more noteworthy is that 8 new provinces have implemented the new college entrance examination this year, all adopting the "3+1+2" model, and there have been major adjustments in the setting of volunteers and admission rules, and the application of volunteers has become quite complicated. To this end, this newspaper has continuously launched the column "On the way to the college entrance examination. Solving doubts", inviting experts, scholars and front-line teachers to advise candidates and parents, resolve problems, and provide the most targeted and operable voluntary reporting and guidance services.
Keywords: "one, two, three, four" in the new college entrance examination
Parents of candidates from Hunan: As a province that has just joined the new college entrance examination this year, how should we apply for our volunteers? What is the general principle? What needs to be paid attention to?
Professor Hu Xiangdong, Director of the Measurement and Evaluation Center of Central China Normal University:
With the general implementation of knowledge-based and parallel volunteers, each province will announce the distribution of test takers’ scores before volunteering. Candidates and their parents have mostly ranked their test scores in the province. Ran in the chest.
What needs to be done at present is to pay attention to the study stipulated by the admission policy, analyze one's own interests and hobbies, clarify the position of one's grades, and strengthen the understanding of the school and professional situation.
It should be said that due to the large increase in the number of professional groups of colleges and universities that can be reported (usually 45), the possibility of "dropping" is lower than before, and it is easier to apply for the new college entrance examination.
The reason why everyone feels ignorant is that in the past there were only two scores for the arts and sciences, and it was easier to analyze the matching of their own scores with the school score requirements; this year, it was changed to the "academic professional group" as the enrollment unit. If there are 9 professional groups, there will be 9 lines, and it is not easy to find the corresponding position.
In fact, these problems can still be solved by doing solid "homework" before filing.
Here are a few points for reference:
One note: pay attention to the differences in my country's college entrance examination admissions.
The biggest feature of my country’s current college entrance examination admission system is the provincial admission based on the sub-paper examination: there are several types of college entrance examination papers, the enrollment plan is allocated to the provinces, and the provinces determine the admission batch and rules. In this way, each province volunteers The distribution and admission results will vary from province to province.
Two preparations: One is to fully understand the province’s enrollment plan, admission policies and rules, admission schedule, time for soliciting volunteers, etc., and not to fight unprepared battles; the second is to fully understand the candidates’ own interests and hobbies, Think about the future development path.
Three key points: One is academic planning and path selection. You might as well plan your studies starting from college. Should you finish your undergraduate employment, or go to master's or doctorate?
The second is the choice of colleges and majors. Roughly list your favorite schools, cities, and majors, and pay attention to your selection of subjects to match the requirements of these schools and majors.
The third is the analysis and use of score ranking. According to the results of the selected test combination published locally, you can clarify your score position and roughly match your favorite schools and majors.
Comprehensive consideration of four principles for selection:
The first is geographic priority.
If the student has not established very clear goals in terms of career and academic development and school choice, then priority can be given to the region.
Different regions not only have different cultural backgrounds, but also represent different school teaching resources, economic strengths and employment opportunities.
The second is career priority.
This principle is suitable for candidates who have a "spectrum" in their career choices, with higher scores and options.
For example, if you like the profession of a teacher, you must first choose to fill in a teacher-training major.
The third is professional first.
This principle is most suitable for candidates with obvious professional expertise, and of course it is also suitable for candidates with relatively low scores.
For the former, candidates can list their favorite majors and schools, combined with scores to choose within the range possible.
For candidates with low scores, the school does not have much choice, and the importance of majors is more prominent. It is recommended to choose a major with strong skills.
The fourth is school first.
Three kinds of candidates are more suitable for this principle.
First, candidates have not yet made a clear career choice, and the scores of each subject are relatively balanced, so it is more suitable to choose schools first.
The second is that candidates who step on the line, considering the possibility of "dropping", first choose a school to ensure the level of the school.
The third is that candidates who are going to study abroad in the future choose well-known domestic schools that are highly recognized abroad, which is conducive to the successful application of going abroad.
It must be explained that the above four principles and their ordering are not fixed rules. They must be combined with the candidates' own situation, the specific college admissions policy, the number of admissions plans and other factors for comprehensive reference.
Keywords: Parallel volunteering to avoid risks, three points should be paid attention to
Parents of Shanghai candidates: At present, we all adopt parallel volunteering. In this regard, what risks do we need to avoid when filling in our volunteers?
Jin Baijiang, Director of the Admissions Office of Nankai University:
"Parallel" in parallel volunteering actually refers to the parallel relationship between the universities and the majors filled in the volunteer form when candidates fill in their volunteers.
The principle of parallel voluntary filing is "score priority, follow volunteers, and one round of filing", that is, starting with the highest score candidate, searching and filing in turn.
When it is the turn to search for a certain candidate, follow the order of the volunteers filled in by the candidate. When the filing conditions are met and the college has a planned balance, it will be filed.
Therefore, under the parallel volunteer rule, although the relationship between different schools is parallel, in the process of filing, it is essentially "non-parallel". It is necessary to search for the volunteer colleges in order according to the candidates’ scores from high to low. Make admission.
Under parallel volunteering, candidates choose the school first.
In the process of filling in the volunteers, it is recommended that the colleges and universities that have been filled in should extend the grade of scores appropriately.
That is to say, according to the rank of oneself in the same discipline in the province, refer to the information of the target colleges and universities in previous years, such as the score line of the previous years, and reasonably allocate the gradient of the school.
Regardless of whether it is in the college entrance examination reform provinces or the traditional college entrance examination provinces, under the premise that the principle of parallel volunteering remains unchanged, the strategy of “improvement, stability and security” can still be used, but it needs to be based on the number of volunteers allowed by each province. Reasonable distribution, generally about one-third of each is more appropriate.
Of course, you can also adjust the number of volunteers to "rush, stabilize, and protect" appropriately according to your personal wishes and risk tolerance.
After selecting the school, proceed to the major selection.
When filling in, it is also necessary to comprehensively consider the candidates’ personal interests and future development prospects, refer to the college’s previous year’s professional admission scores, rankings, and other information, and use the previous year’s admission scores for the majors that you are interested in and do not conflict with. Arrange from high to low, so that you know what you have in mind.
Of course, interest is the driving force for learning. If candidates have a very clear interest in a certain category or a few majors, they should be placed in a higher position of volunteerism.
Although parallel volunteering is much less risky than sequential volunteering, it is not completely risk-free. If you are careless, you still have the risk of being retired or high-scoring slip. You need to pay special attention to the following three points:
First, be sure to pay attention to the requirements for medical examinations in different majors (categories), try to avoid schools that may not be admitted, relevant majors may not be admitted, or majors that are not suitable to study, so as to reduce the risk of withdrawal.
Second, in traditional college entrance examination provinces and college entrance examination reform provinces that apply for the "academics + professional group" model, it is recommended that you must obey the adjustment when filling in the volunteers.
If due to personal reasons, the registered institution or the majors in the professional group of the institution do not open the score gradient, the institution cannot arrange the major when submitting the file, and the student does not obey the adjustment, there is a risk of withdrawing from the file.
The principle of parallel voluntary filing is one round of filing. Once you withdraw, you will withdraw from the batch of admissions. You can only participate in the solicitation of volunteers or the next batch of admissions. There is basically no good choice for the solicitation of volunteers.
Third, if based on scores, although there is a high probability that you can enter a school, you are likely to enter a professional volunteer that you are not interested in. Candidates need to consult the admissions office or admissions group of the school in advance, and ask after entering the school or after a period of study , Whether there is a relatively humane opportunity to transfer majors, other double or minor opportunities to avoid insurmountable learning obstacles due to unsuitable or unacceptable majors and affect the hopeful university life.
Keywords: professional selection, clear "what you want to do" and "what can be done"
Shandong Candidate: I have always lacked a clear plan for myself, nor have I figured out what I like and what I want to do. In this case, how should I focus on my professional choice? What are the key factors involved in professional selection?
Yan Conggen, a professor at the School of Education, Hangzhou Normal University:
First of all, clarify "what you want to do" and "what you can do."
Generally speaking, volunteers should insist on interest first.
But when you don’t know “what you want to do”, you have to be clear about “what you can do”.
To determine what you can do, you can refer to the following methods: One is based on expertise.
Specialty is not equal to interest, but specialty is often where one's own interests lie.
Candidates can fill in the corresponding major in combination with their own specialties or subjects they are good at in high school.
The second is to clarify the professional ability tendency.
If they do not find their own specialties, candidates can use the occupational tendency assessment scale to understand their own professional ability tendency.
Some experts divide professional interests into six types: practical, research, artistic, social, corporate, and traditional.
Candidates can refer to the evaluation results to fill in the profession corresponding to the type of professional interest.
At the same time, the relationship between professional "hot" and "cold" must be viewed dialectically.
"Hot" majors are considered to have huge employment potential and development potential, while "unpopular" majors are considered to have no huge employment potential and development potential.
The current popular major does not mean that it will remain a popular major in the future, and the current unpopular major does not mean that it will still be a popular major in the future.
What's more, there are many candidates who choose popular majors, the competition is fierce, and the probability of standing out is small, and there may even be a "graduation or unemployment" talent surplus; there are few candidates who choose unpopular majors, and the probability of being outstanding is high.
Therefore, voluntary reporting should be based on the premise of one's own "capable" profession, taking into account the employment prospects, and not blindly following the trend.
In addition, the relationship between "region", "academic" and "professional" must be correctly handled.
Choosing a major often means choosing a future career.
If there is a clear career goal, candidates can choose the corresponding colleges and majors according to their scores.
If there is no clear career goal, candidates can take "region" and "academy" as important factors to consider when applying for a voluntary report.
If you want to have a better first degree, in the case of limited test scores, you can choose universities in the central and western regions with relatively low admission scores but higher rankings.
If you want to have a better modern vision and employment prospects, you can ignore the school rankings and give priority to colleges in large cities in developed areas.
As we all know, first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen not only have more opportunities, but also help candidates broaden their horizons and show their individuality.
In short, in addition to the above factors, physical conditions, academic performance, personality traits, parental attitudes and values, society's views on the profession, the strength of professional teachers, and the number of professional enrollment are all factors that need to be considered when applying for a volunteer.
For the professional choice, candidates and parents should have a thorough understanding, weigh the pros and cons, and report carefully, but there is no need to worry.
Volunteer reporting will affect human development, but it will not determine human development.
The pros and cons of development ultimately depend on their own planning and literacy improvement.
We must look at the future of study and life in the light of development and change, and we must fully realize that any university and any major has its rationality, and we are committed to cultivating outstanding talents that the new era needs.
