Why did Beijing Senior High School Entrance Examination Sports expand the program?
As the spokesperson of the Municipal Education Commission said, serious problems such as the serious physical phenomenon of on-site examinations in the physical education entrance examination, the weak process assessment orientation, the insufficient supply of physical examination content, and the small space for students to choose independently have been criticized.
The sports expansion project for the senior high school entrance examination is conducive to following the law of children's growth, respecting children's interest needs, and reducing the disadvantages of test-oriented sports by focusing on science, foundation and fairness, considering the diversity of choices and individual differences.
Physical examination for senior high school entrance examination is not the goal, only physical and mental health is meaningful.
Each student has different interests and different physical conditions. If a uniform standard is defined "one size fits all", it will be difficult for students to achieve long-term results even if they all achieve good results.
According to media surveys, after the entrance to senior high school sports started, the physique of junior high school students was the best among all grades in junior high school, and the physique of senior high school students was also the best among all grades in high school.
To a large extent, it is in the third stage of junior high school to take physical education as a surprise. As a result, the middle school entrance examination has become "only useful for a while, not for a lifetime", which is obviously not in line with the purpose of physical education.
Last year, the State Sports General Administration and the Ministry of Education jointly issued the "Notice on Deepening the Integration of Sports and Education to Promote the Healthy Development of Adolescents". 37 policies and measures in 8 aspects set forth requirements for deepening the integration of sports and education. The goal of "health first, comprehensive development" is achieved in "physical fitness, healthy personality, and exercise of will".
The sports expansion project for the senior high school entrance examination allows students to choose according to their actual conditions, which will help students better achieve this goal, and also help students maintain long-term interest in several or more sports items, thereby promoting the quality of national fitness.
The more sports that students can choose, the more difficult it will be for school physical education.
If the school does not have the conditions or willingness to carry out more physical education, the school will still be limited to the high school entrance examination sports as few as possible.
Therefore, encouraging the expansion of sports for senior high school entrance examinations requires the support of the whole society.
Through the supply of rich and colorful sports activities in the whole society, we can satisfy students with more choices, and let children cultivate fun in the rich sports activities, and change from "I want to exercise" to "I want to exercise" in sports activities. Go beyond yourself and get rid of utilitarian thinking.
At this point, the practice of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and other places is worth learning.
In Shanghai, in addition to the opening of school sports venues to the public, there are also nearly a thousand public sports facilities in the society open to the public, which is convenient for parents to take their children to participate in various sports activities.
In terms of competitions, there are numerous international youth football matches, urban youth amateur leagues, and so on. There are 124 youth sports events at the municipal level alone. In Guangdong, the “Regulations on National Fitness of Guangdong Province” require the creation of a “15-minute fitness circle” in the form of regulations. ".
In April of this year, Guangdong announced various youth sports competition plans for 2021, ranging from ordinary ball and track events to fencing, hockey, shooting, skateboarding, equestrianism, and surfing.
This kind of environmental influence under the joint participation will inevitably break the vicious circle of test-oriented sports, allowing students to regard sports as a fashionable way of life.
