From next year, the city's middle school entrance examination sports on-site examination will be reformed, and the content of the examination will be changed from "8 out of 3" to "22 out of 4". Just after the Beijing Education Examination Institute announced the on-site examination items and related examination rules of the middle school entrance examination, some off-campus sports training institutions have launched guidance services for the selection of examination projects, and the consultation of students' parents is hot.
For this phenomenon, Huang Hong, head of the physical education teaching and research group of Bayi School, reminded that it is good to guide students to participate in exercise through training, but don't take the old road of taking the test.
"Selection guidance" is standard
Last Sunday, in the Xuanwu Stadium, several coaches stood by the runway, each with a dozen junior high school students to warm up. Ms. Li brought her daughter, who is in the first year of junior high school, to the trial class, she said: "Sports are becoming more and more important now, and I specially brought my child to the trial class, on the one hand, I want to prepare for the sports middle school entrance examination early, and on the other hand, I want her to run and move more." ”
"The training content will be adjusted according to the child's grade, and your child will first face the physical fitness test of the second year of junior high school, and we will take the child to practice the physical test content first." An institutional teacher recommended to Ms. Li, "We provide a one-stop service, after the child enters the second year of junior high school, she will help her plan the selection project on the basis of the compulsory long-distance running project." ”
The reporter then visited three sports training institutions located in Xicheng District, Haidian District and Chaoyang District, and found that "selection guidance" has become standard. A teacher of a training institution said that after the content of the physical education on-site examination of the middle school entrance examination next year was adjusted to 3 items in 4 categories, parents of students who came to consult and try lessons have been continuous, and the institution has increased the ratio of courses and coaches.
Recommended items are still "old three"
Mr. Chen, a parent, took his child to try classes from three or four institutions and found that the teachers said that the optional items should be "tailor-made", but the actual recommendation was the "old three" of basketball, volleyball, and solid ball, on the grounds that these items were practiced relatively quickly, and the surprise attack could produce results.
"Another teacher said that swimming is the least recommended for children, because it is speculated that the on-site exam is completed in one day, and swimming is more physically demanding." Mr. Chen said that the original intention was to take the child outside to try more exercise items, and choose more when taking the exam, "Listening to the teacher, I feel a little like taking the test." ”
Ms Li said: "The training institute recommended that my daughter choose sit-ups and volleyball, plus gymnastics or gymnastics, which are relatively easy to score. ”
During the interview, some parents were worried about the "trafficking anxiety" of the institution, afraid that the money and time spent would not achieve the effect. Ms. Wu's son, who is in the first year of junior high school this year, said: "The teacher of the training institution said that it is best to spend a year in advance to practice the basic skills in the fitness long boxing routine and fitness southern boxing routine in the middle school entrance examination selection program, and only one-on-one personal training, the sooner you sign up, the better." Originally, I just wanted to bring my son to consult in advance, but now I feel that I have to report. ”
Encourage more exercise, but don't go to extremes
The reform of the physical education examination of the middle school entrance examination is aimed at allowing students to feel the joy of sports in sports that are interesting and suitable for them. Huang Hong believes that the introduction of corresponding services by off-campus training institutions reflects the society's attention to sports disciplines, "It is beneficial for students to register for classes and participate in physical exercise if they have spare time." ”
But some parents regard physical exercise as a very utilitarian thing and sign up for the sake of scores, Huang said. Institutions have seized on this mentality of parents and regarded test reform as a "business opportunity", and parents and students should keep their eyes open. For example, she said that some teachers in institutions may ignore students' training tolerance and affect students' physical and mental health just to improve their scores. "Students should not follow the crowd and blindly sign up for various classes."
Mao Zhenming, a professor at the School of Physical Education and Sports of Beijing Normal University, believes that the adjustment of the on-site examination items of the physical education middle school entrance examination has promoted the reform of physical education teaching in schools. Many schools have expanded physical education programs, changing physical education classes to a shift system, and students choose different programs according to their hobbies. Parents and students do not need to take the physical education entrance examination as pressure, "the academic burden and the burden brought by physical exercise are completely different, children are actually exercising a kind of positive rest, which helps the left and right brain conversion regulation and promotes quality improvement." ”
