How should college entrance examination candidates face the new college entrance examination
On December 29, the eight provinces and cities of Fujian, Hubei, Jiangsu, Guangdong, Hunan, Hebei, Liaoning, and Chongqing officially announced the new college entrance examination plan for 2021. They also officially became the third batch of provinces in the country to enter the comprehensive reform of the college entrance examination.
The implementation plan for the new college entrance examination in 8 provinces and cities is the "3+1+2" model, including the national unified college entrance examination and the general high school level selective examination, with a full score of 750 points, and the examination time is adjusted from 2 days to 3 days.
In the "3+1+2" mode, "3" refers to the language, mathematics, and foreign languages of the national unified examination (candidates can choose one of the five languages: English, Russian, Japanese, French, and German), and "1" means Choose one of physics and history, and "2" means choose 2 of the 4 re-selected subjects of ideology and politics, geography, chemistry, and biology.
The selective examinations of academic level are independently set by each province.
The tentative time for the provinces to implement the new college entrance examination in 2021 is June 7-9. At the time node that is still half a year away, the new college entrance examination plan has attracted widespread attention as soon as it is released. How to choose the new college entrance examination provinces and how to volunteer How to report and what preparations and adjustments should students and parents make during this period?
The reporter interviewed relevant experts and professionals from various parties.
Breaking the division of liberal arts and sciences
From the beginning of subject selection, have a targeted grasp of relevant schools and majors
From 2021, the new college entrance examination reform will merge the first batch of undergraduates and the second batch of undergraduates, regardless of liberal arts and sciences, and announce the enrollment plan according to general, art, and sports categories.
The enrollment plan will be compiled according to the combination of historical subjects and physics subjects.
Break the limitations of simple division of liberal arts and sciences, and give students more autonomy in subject selection.
However, Xing Zhaoxia, Director of Admissions Office of Harbin Institute of Technology, reminded: “According to the training requirements of various majors in colleges and universities, different majors have different restrictions on the selection of subjects, and the restrictions on the selection of subjects for the same major in different colleges and universities may also be different. Candidates are required to fill in their volunteers. You must carefully understand the subject selection requirements of your favorite colleges and universities, so as to avoid the invalidity of volunteers and the failure to submit files because the selected subjects do not meet the requirements."
For students and parents, the timeline for understanding schools and majors has lengthened. Jin Baijiang, director of admissions at Nankai University, believes that from the beginning of subject selection, it is necessary to have a targeted understanding of the relevant schools and majors, and keep enough Prepare time in advance and think about this problem when you cannot come to the college entrance examination and apply for a volunteer.
Xiong Bingqi, the dean of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, believes that some candidates consider the "3+1+2" model of physics and history to volunteer to fill in, but it is still regarded as the traditional liberal arts and sciences. This is wrong.
The "3+1+2" model requires candidates to choose physics or history subjects first, and then select subjects based on physics or history, but this is not a liberal arts subject, but the cancellation of the liberal arts subject. The candidate should choose the school with the idea of canceling the liberal arts subject And majors, schools also need to have new thinking when guiding students to fill in their volunteers and choose schools and majors.
However, despite the abolition of liberal arts and sciences, Chen Zhiwen, the editor-in-chief of China Education Online, still suggests that students try to choose traditional physics, chemistry, and biology. "From the perspective of national development, science and engineering talents are more needed, especially basic physics. It cannot be replaced by other disciplines."
Chen Zhiwen believes that under the new college entrance examination system, “significant changes have taken place in the scores under the combination. Don’t always think about how to maximize the scores, because some colleges and universities will not even have the opportunity to sign up if they don’t choose physics and chemistry.” Chen Zhiwen suggested, Choose the direction first, and pursue the maximization of score on this basis is the positive solution.
Understand the relevant knowledge of filing a volunteer
Remember to choose to obey the adjustment to reduce the risk of slippage
After the introduction of the new college entrance examination policies in eight provinces and cities, many parents said that "it is difficult, and it is difficult to fill all the volunteers."
This is because the number of volunteers in the new college entrance examination provinces is quite large.
According to statistics from reporters, Hebei, Liaoning, and Chongqing implement professional parallel volunteering. Taking Hebei as an example, the new college entrance examination reform plan requires volunteers to fill in "professional (class) + school" as the unit, that is, 1 "professional (class) + school" As a volunteer, there is no longer a professional compliance adjustment option.
Hebei general undergraduate approval can fill in up to 96 volunteers each time, Liaoning can fill in up to 112 volunteers.
However, this also ensures that the major that the students report is at least the major they are willing to learn, avoiding the risk of being transferred to a major that they do not want to learn by the university before.
"In fact, this is to give candidates and parents more choices. Not every student needs to fill in everything. For students with some grades, just make limited choices in the schools and majors they like. "Jin Bojiang said.
In addition, Hubei, Fujian, Jiangsu, Hunan, and Guangdong implement a parallel voluntary entry mode for professional groups of colleges and universities. Hubei, Hunan, and Guangdong can fill in up to 45 volunteers.
Under the professional group model of colleges and universities, professional obedience is only adjusted within the enrollment majors of the professional group of the same college.
In this regard, Jin Bojiang reminded that students must choose to obey the adjustment when filling in their volunteers to reduce the risk of slipping.
In general, in 2021, the number of new college entrance examinations in 8 provinces and cities will increase. Dozens of volunteers have indeed brought great challenges to parents and students.
"The parents must be able to understand the application. Now some parents still have a lot of confusion. They must be trained first." said Meng Qing, the principal of Fuping Middle School in Hebei Province.
In addition to the training for class teachers and parents at the school level, Fuping Middle School also invited a third-party platform to the school for voluntary reporting and guidance.
In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the new college entrance examination in 2021, from January to April 2021, 8 provinces and cities will conduct the whole process of adaptability examination from examination organization, marking to enrollment plan preparation, and voluntary filing. Among them, January 23-25 is The exam time, March-April is for voluntary registration and admission work. "Such adaptive drills can allow students, teachers and parents to walk through it completely and help everyone enter the state faster." Meng Qing said.
Make a reasonable career plan
Choose majors and elective subjects based on interests and future plans to reduce utilitarian choices
The new college entrance examination policy gives students more choices and more respect for their self-interest and cognition.
Whether it is subject selection or voluntary reporting, it directly points to students' future development and career planning.
Therefore, Xing Zhaoxia suggested that candidates must reasonably plan their career development paths, "choose their favorite majors and elective subjects according to their interests and their own development plans, and reduce the utilitarian choices that simply respond to the college entrance examination."
In Chen Zhiwen's view, the logic behind the career planning of high school students is often to directly link their majors and occupations, but in fact "what they learn is not directly related to what they do, and what they learn and not do is a common phenomenon."
Therefore, Chen Zhiwen proposed to strengthen the professionalism of career planning guidance after the reform of the new college entrance examination.
Career planning is a very complicated matter and requires a wealth of social experience. Normal teachers cannot afford it.
"Life planning needs to invite professionals with rich social experience to join. Parents are often more reliable than teachers. Schools can tap more parental resources. In addition, attention should be paid to the situation of front-line industries. For example, everyone thought that going to the bank to work must learn finance. In fact, banks now need more talents with computer, statistics, and mathematics backgrounds, so you can invite the human resources director of the bank's head office to clarify what kind of talents the banking industry needs." Chen Zhiwen said.
Jin Baijiang believes that students and parents should also adjust their cognition, "In the long run, applying for a volunteer is only the entrance to the university training stage. After a period of study, if students find that they are not suitable for the major they are studying, whether they can make adjustments is up to the students And what parents should pay attention to."
Hong Chengwen, a professor at the Department of Education of Beijing Normal University, also believes that “all today’s choices are temporary choices, and they can be fine-tuned in the course of further university studies in the future. Don’t have fatalistic thinking. wrong."
"Tell these students that universities and future graduate education have a certain correction function. As long as you have your own interests, as long as you work hard, don't be afraid of mistakes, and believe that universities and higher education have the ability to adjust." Hong Written said.
