Many colleges and universities across the country have announced the changes and changes of the "Strong Foundation Plan" in the enrollment brochures
in 2022
In 2022, the enrollment of the "Strengthening Foundation Plan" will be launched one after another, and the registration of 39 pilot colleges and universities will be concentrated in April.
At present, more than 30 colleges and universities have successively released the 2022 "Strong Foundation Plan" enrollment brochures and started the registration process.
The "Strong Foundation Plan", also known as the pilot reform of basic discipline enrollment, will be implemented in relevant colleges and universities in 2020. It mainly selects students who are interested in serving the country's major strategic needs and have excellent overall quality or top-notch basic disciplines.
Focus on mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, mechanics, basic medicine, breeding and related majors such as history, philosophy, and paleography.
A reporter from China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily reviewed the admissions brochures of the "Strong Foundation Plan" of many colleges and universities and found that this year's "Strong Foundation Plan" enrollment majors focus on basic disciplines, and many colleges and universities have come up with their own "ace" majors.
In the training process, the "Strengthening Foundation Plan" pays more attention to individualization and internationalization. It is equipped with first-class teachers, provides first-class learning conditions, and implements the training mode of undergraduate research. In terms of assessment methods, it still continues the "college entrance examination + comprehensive ability test + physical education". test" mode.
3 more colleges and universities, each person is limited to 1 college
In addition to the 36 pilot universities in the past, this year, Northeastern University, Hunan University, and Northwest A&F University have also started the pilot work of the "Strengthening Foundation Plan".
Among them, Hunan University's enrollment majors are chemistry, and Northwest A&F University's enrollment majors are seed science and engineering (biological breeding) and animal science (biological breeding), all of which are the school's "ace" majors.
Northeastern University also regards the automation major, which is among the best in the country, as the only major that is recruited by the strong foundation in the first year.
Compared with the previous two years, when the “Strong Foundation Plan” was mainly based on basic disciplines, some colleges and universities have added some new interdisciplinary majors and strong disciplines related to basic disciplines this year, breaking through the limitations of purely basic disciplines.
For example, Beijing Institute of Technology, known as one of the "seven sons of national defense", has added the newly established intelligent unmanned system technology on the basis of mathematics and applied mathematics, applied physics and other majors in previous years; Northwestern Polytechnical University is in mathematics. In addition to applied physics and chemistry, it is the first time to recruit top-ranked aerospace majors in the country, and in the admissions brochure emphasizes that it will "target the frontier and key areas of aerospace technology, and be committed to building the world's aerospace talent training and scientific and technological innovation highland. ".
In addition, some colleges and universities are gradually expanding their enrollment in provinces and cities, and many colleges and universities have begun to recruit students nationwide. For example, Beijing Institute of Technology will increase enrollment in Ningxia in 2022, and Northwestern Polytechnical University will increase enrollment in Beijing and Chongqing.
It is worth noting that the "Strong Foundation Plan" limits each candidate to only one college.
Focus on basic disciplines, and focus on individualization and internationalization in the training process
It is understood that the "Strong Foundation Plan" highlights the supporting and leading role of basic disciplines, focusing on arranging admissions for mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, history, philosophy, paleography and other related majors.
In principle, students admitted through the "Strong Foundation Program" are not allowed to transfer to majors other than relevant disciplines after entering the school.
According to the statistics of China Education Online's "Handheld College Entrance Examination", as of April 4th, among the 30 colleges and universities that released their admissions brochures, a total of 145 majors were recruited. The total number of majors required to be selected for physics is 116, accounting for 80%; 24 are required to choose history, accounting for 16.5%, and there are 5 subjects that are not limited to preferred subjects, accounting for 3.5%.
It can be seen that candidates who choose physics have an advantage in applying for the "Strong Foundation Plan".
In the "re-selection subjects", there are 81 majors that are not required, accounting for 55.8%; 45 majors that require chemistry, accounting for 31%, and 16 that require chemistry or biology, accounting for The ratio is 11%; in addition, the re-selection subjects require a major in Geography, Politics, Geography or Politics.
In the training process, the "Strong Foundation Program" is more personalized and internationalized.
For example, Peking University has formulated a basic and individualized teaching plan and training plan for the students selected for the "Strong Foundation Plan". A strategic platform for in-depth cooperation with scientific research institutes, formulating special policies to encourage students to take interdisciplinary, inter-professional, inter-stage and inter-school electives, and improve students' ability to integrate disciplines.
In addition, many colleges and universities organize separate classes for students admitted through the "Strong Foundation Program", and explore the establishment of a training model for the connection between undergraduate, master and doctoral degrees.
For example, Tsinghua University has organically linked the undergraduate and postgraduate training process of relevant majors under the "Strong Foundation Program".
Students who meet the school's examination-free postgraduate qualification requirements when graduating from an undergraduate degree can be given priority to study master's and doctoral students in related majors.
The training mode of Nankai University's "Strengthening Foundation Plan" is embodied in "one system and three modernizations", "cross-training" and "dynamic entry and exit". In terms of training, it insists on taking basic disciplines as the source, carrying out multi-disciplinary cross-integration, and consolidating the future high-level development direction. Base.
The assessment method continues "college entrance examination + comprehensive ability test + sports test"
Today, most of the pilot colleges and universities divide the candidates who can apply for the "Strong Foundation Program" into two categories: one is the candidates with excellent comprehensive quality and excellent results in the college entrance examination, and the other is the candidates with outstanding talents and performance in related disciplines.
According to the "Opinions on Carrying out the Pilot Program of Enrollment Reform of Basic Subjects in Some Universities" (hereinafter referred to as "Opinions") issued by the Ministry of Education in January 2020, after candidates participate in the unified college entrance examination and college assessment, colleges and universities will evaluate the candidates' college entrance examination scores and college comprehensive assessment. The results and the comprehensive quality evaluation are combined into the comprehensive scores of the candidates in proportion (the proportion of the college entrance examination scores shall not be lower than 85%).
The "Opinions" pointed out that for a very small number of candidates with outstanding talents and performance in relevant disciplines, the relevant colleges and universities may formulate the conditions for being shortlisted for college assessments and the methods and standards for admissions, and announce them to the public in advance.
For example, Tsinghua University stipulates that candidates who have won the second prize or above in the national finals in the Olympiad in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and informatics will be reviewed for their outstanding talents and comprehensive performance in related disciplines. Exceptional entry.
In the comprehensive ability test and sports test of colleges and universities, many colleges and universities carry out "written test + interview" or only interview form. Sports test usually includes physical fitness test, long-distance running, long jump and so on.
For example, in Renmin University of China, the form of professional test and assessment is written test and interview, and the scope of the test is not limited to the syllabus of middle school.
The interview is conducted by "double random" drawing lots by experts and candidates, and the whole test is recorded and videotaped; Tianjin University is only interviewed, and the interview mainly examines the students' comprehensive quality, innovation ability, interest and ambition, scientific research potential, scientific spirit, etc.
The interview adopts the "three random" working mechanism randomly arranged by candidates, judges, and the examination room, and the whole test is recorded and recorded.
In the sports ability test, in principle, all candidates who are shortlisted for the school entrance examination of Renmin University of China must take the sports test. The test items are lung capacity, standing long jump, and 50-meter running.
The physical fitness test of Nankai University includes basic quality tests in terms of body shape and function. The test results are used as an important reference for school assessment. If the school assessment interview results and the total score of the college entrance examination are the same, priority will be given to those with higher physical fitness test scores.
