At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, primary and secondary schools in Shanghai are ushering in the final exams one after another. To some of the beginnings.
3. For the parents of the graduating students of the third year of high school, during this time, the pressure and anxiety surrounding their children's higher education have risen invisibly. "This final exam is 'one mold', they all say that 'one mold' is gold, 'two molds' is silver, and 'one mold' is the touchstone of the high school entrance examination, and we must go all out. "If you want to have the opportunity to participate in the independent enrollment of well-known high schools, the 'model' grades in the third year of junior high school are too important," ......
How important is a final exam?In their opinion, with the successive implementation of various new policies for the college entrance examination in Shanghai, the so-called "one model" exam is gradually declining and diluting, and it no longer has the "function" of selection that parents expect. Therefore, instead of putting too much pressure on the children, it is better to accompany them every step of the way, and use this final exam as an "anchor" to prepare for the high school entrance examination next summer.
Even if the results of the "one model" exam in the third year of junior high school are not satisfactory, it is not terrible.
Tao Chunyan, a teacher at Datong Junior High School in Huangpu District, has rich experience in leading graduating classes. In her eyes, the so-called "one model" exam in the third year of junior high school is actually the first mock exam for students to adapt to the rhythm of the high school entrance examination. Since there are certain rules and characteristics of the question type, difficulty and examination method of the high school entrance examination, students need to gradually familiarize themselves with and master these characteristics in order to achieve good results in the high school entrance examination.
Whether it is the quality of the test questions or the process of marking and invigilating, the 'Yimo' exam is a very important training for the high school entrance examination, and it is recommended that students take it seriously. However, in terms of the examination itself, the role of the 'one-model' examination has been greatly weakened in the past two years. Tao Chunyan analyzed that the reason for this lies in Shanghai's previous reform policy for the high school entrance examination.
According to the Implementation Measures for the Enrollment and Admission Reform of Shanghai High School Universities released in 2021, from 2022 onwards, 50% to 65% of the enrollment plans of Shanghai's experimental demonstration high schools will be allocated to districts and schools through quotas, and the total number of independent enrollment plans of the city's experimental demonstration high schools and municipal characteristic ordinary high schools shall not exceed 6% of the total enrollment plans of the city's ordinary high schools. "No more than 6% of students are enrolled independently, and 15% of the places are for students with sports and art specialties, which means that for most junior high school graduates now, their primary goal is still to take the high school entrance examination. Tao Chunyan said.
Before the quota allocation policy was implemented, some students did pass the better 'model' test results and knocked on the door of high-quality high schools. However, with the adjustment of policies in the past two years, high-quality high schools have become more cautious about independent enrollment, paying more attention to the comprehensive ability of students. A junior high school principal said.
Some parents also asked, what should I do if I fail this "model" exam?In Tao Chunyan's view, for junior high school students, "one model" itself is a good opportunity to check and fill in the gaps, even if the results are not satisfactory, it is not necessarily a bad thing. "Because the content of the 'one model' exam covers the knowledge points learned in the entire junior high school section, and the difficulty of the 'one model' exam is often slightly higher than that of the high school entrance examination, for the junior high school students who have just completed all the course content recently, in fact, they have not yet entered the comprehensive and systematic review stage, and the knowledge structure mastered is not solid, and it is normal to fail the test, but with the comprehensive review and repeated practice in the next six months, the proficiency of relevant knowledge will definitely be greatly improved. Tao Chunyan said that she has seen many students with unsatisfactory test scores, and after careful review during the winter vacation, their academic performance in the next semester has improved significantly.
The body is more important than the grades, and the mock test is just a simulation.
The final sprint stage at the end of the year is also the period of high incidence of respiratory infections in winter and spring. Recently, in many schools in Shanghai, some students have taken leave due to influenza and other diseases.
Parents of individual graduating students are afraid that their children's illness will affect the pace of exam preparation, and in the case that the child's physical condition is not yet complete, parents want their children to return to school first, which is not necessary. Chen Minghong, principal of Qiuzhen Middle School in Baoshan District, made it clear that children's physical health comes first. Moreover, there is still more than half a year between now and next year's high school entrance examination, as long as the time is reasonably allocated and a scientific review plan is formulated, parents do not have to worry about the upcoming final exam results will affect their children's admission to the high school entrance examination. "It is recommended that students also consider the upcoming final exam as a self-test as much as possible, and as long as their mind is relaxed, they will perform at a normal level in the final exam. ”
In addition, for students who have recently been unable to attend classes due to respiratory diseases, Chen Minghong introduced that the school has started online live broadcasts in classrooms, and handed over the choice of whether to watch live broadcasts and do homework to parents and children, so that they can choose rationally according to the actual situation.
In Shanghai Jianping Middle School, the school has also made special arrangements for a small number of students who have not arrived at school due to illness recently. Through the establishment of a special WeChat group, teachers of major subjects such as language and mathematics will share class notes and homework in a timely manner for students who are resting at home to refer to independently.
Pan Jie, the leader of the third grade of Jianping Middle School, said that the function of the "one model" test in the third year of high school is to help students position, and the results and rankings of the test reflect the mastery of relevant knowledge of individuals and groups in the recent stage, whether students have knowledge blind spots and whether they have the concept of test timeliness, etc., so its importance is mainly reflected in the analysis and guidance after the test, in order to help students further improve. Therefore, parents should not only look at test scores and rankings, nor can they look at their children's grades statically, but should understand their children's relative level in the learning group while looking at the results.
The purpose of the mock test is to improve the learning stability of students and adjust their test status, so as to help them develop their strengths and avoid weaknesses and find future growth points. Pan Jie said.
