The publication of the essay collection for the high school and college entrance examination has become a "business theory", will it mislead students?
Model essay, we should learn "God" instead of "Form"
Recently, an essay with a full score for the college entrance examination and a suspected "zero-scoring essay" for the high school entrance examination have caused heated discussions by appointment. One of the focuses is whether the answer sheets of national or provincial and municipal examinations should be made public to the public. Does the original answer of the senior high school entrance examination and college entrance examination count as candidates’ privacy?
"Excellent work" in the examination room may be misleading
On August 2, an education magazine in a certain place released the composition "Living on the Tree" through its official microblog, and indicated that it was the full score composition for the college entrance examination in the province this year. At the beginning of the composition, he wrote: "Modern society uses Heidegger's sentence of'all practical traditions have been disintegrated' as its target. The expectations that originated from family and social traditions are losing their reference. But facing the seemingly boundless future sky , I want to follow the life of Calvino’s "Baron on the Tree" and live a premature vibrancy." Because the article quoted a lot of famous philosophers and mixed with uncommon words, netizens commented, the actual content of the article is empty, there is no theme, and it deviates. The theme of life is puzzling. In the latest news, the magazine official Weibo has deleted this article and explained that "because the college entrance examination is still in progress, it may not be appropriate to publish now."
Coincidentally, this year a high school candidate applied for a review score because of doubts about the low scores in Chinese. After the review, the Education Examination Department came to the conclusion: “The Marking Center assessed the test taker’s composition answer sheet as the same.” The examinee and parents felt aggrieved because they were in the 2018 and 2019 editions published by the Municipal Education Examination Institute. In the essay review and analysis, many excellent examinations were cited for students to study. Among them, an essay in 2019 is almost exactly the same as an essay in 2018, and both scored high. Since others can imitate and can be included in the publicly compiled sample essays issued by the examination institute, why can't other candidates?
National examinations are public
Because of imitating the best works of previous years, "zero-scoring composition" appeared. The criticism is straightforward-if the education and examination department does not print and distribute the excellent works of the past students, later candidates will not be able to easily "imitate". So, does the examination institute have the right to announce the excellent works of the examination room every year? Wang Jian, director of the Department of Elementary Education at Shanghai Normal University, said that for public interest purposes, the examination authorities and the education research department disclosed excellent examination room compositions to the public, and there is no intention to slander candidates. Take a look at the ancient rural exams and guild exams. The top masterpieces will also be announced when the rankings are published, serving as a model essay to inspire subsequent candidates. Wang Jian believes that candidates participating in national examinations can generally be regarded as having reached a contract with the examination authority, that is, they are allowed to use and punish their own answer sheets in the field of public welfare, and openly accept public supervision of their answer sheets. This is also The inevitable requirement of education fairness. However, the public full score composition occurs during the admission process of colleges and universities, and it is indeed rushed to publish the content of the answer sheet, especially the composition that has always been more controversial.
Learning model essays is not "show off skills"
It is reported that each local examination authority will compile outstanding essays for the high school and college entrance examinations and representative examination room essays for each grade, and publish them in a book. Professor Wang Yiru, executive deputy director of the Chinese Education Research Center of East China Normal University and editor-in-chief of "Chinese Self-study", introduced that the "Selection of Shanghai Middle School Students' Annual Best Compositions" published the following year includes both excellent compositions for the high school entrance examination and outstanding ones that emerged last year For essays and contest-winning essays, each article must be approved by the author before publication. It is inevitable that there are some small mistakes in the composition of the examination room. Therefore, the editor will also verify and verify each essay. "A good essay must be accurate first, followed by vividness and vividness." Wang Yiru emphasized that if it is to be the "best essay", it is important not to show off rhetoric or play mystery.
It is worth noting that the composition of elementary and middle school students has now become "business theory". There are even training institutions that collect and sort out introductions and examples from the excellent compositions of the college entrance examination over the years, and select "high-frequency words" into "composition materials" for candidates. Xuanji" use. "Pan essays and example essays are needed, but how to teach them well to students depends on the teacher's skill." Wang Wei, a special-grade Chinese teacher at Yangpu Senior Middle School, suggested that teachers may wish to consider the matching degree of ideas, structures, ideas, and arguments, etc. Make a re-analysis to let students understand the reasons for the high scores in the composition, and where the problem is in the low-scoring composition. You can't copy other people's content mechanically, but you can get inspiration from other people's articles.
