Speaking of self-examination, I had a preliminary impression when I was studying teacher training. At that time, the self-examinations of Langzhong were held in Chengbei Primary School. Every time I see self-examinees of different occupations, ages and genders walking into the examination room one after another, I am full of curiosity and admiration for this exam - what kind of exam is this, and it is so attractive that it allows them to squeeze out time after busy work, regardless of cold or summer, and study by themselves?
Last year, I went to work at the Education Examination Center and was directly responsible for the self-examination, so I had a deep understanding of this exam.
Self-examination, is the self-study examination of higher education, is a national examination of higher education based on academic examinations for self-learners, is the largest form of socialized open higher education in China, since its establishment in 1981 with the approval of the country, for the country to cultivate a large number of talents.
In 1977, Comrade ** pointed out far-sightedly: "Education should walk on two legs, colleges and universities are one leg, and all kinds of part-time work and study are one leg." It provides a theoretical basis for the establishment of the self-examination system. In 1981, the self-examination of higher education began to be implemented on a trial basis, and in 1988, the Higher Education Law of the People's Republic of China established the self-study examination as one of the basic systems of higher education in China. Since then, the open higher education system of self-examination, which is the largest in the world and can best reflect the concept of lifelong education and the characteristics of a learning society, has been formally established, and has become a "university without walls" around the people. It has been 40 years since the examination was held in Sichuan Province in 1983. Over the past 40 years, with the development of the times and the wide application of modern educational technology, the self-examination majors and courses have become more targeted, and the content and form of the examination have become more scientific and ......Self-study is being widely recognized and welcomed by the common people with its characteristics of strong autonomy, great flexibility, high recognition and low cost, and has become "a pioneering initiative of the socialist education system with Chinese characteristics".
As a form of higher education that combines individual self-study, social assistance and national examinations, both the examination organization and social assistance have embodied the hard work of many self-examination staff. According to relevant statistics, tens of thousands of teachers have participated in the formulation of professional plans, self-study examination syllabuses, compilation of teaching materials and tutorial materials, propositions and marking, practical assessment and other aspects of work. Many ordinary (** colleges and universities, higher vocational colleges, private educational institutions, distance education (online education) platforms, etc., take the form of full-time training, online teaching and other forms to participate in self-examination and student assistance, providing the most thoughtful service, guidance and help for candidates.
As the specific organizer of the self-study examination work, the education examination units at all levels and the test center schools have spared no effort to serve the majority of candidates. From registration to change of student status, from examination exemption review to examination organization, from graduation application and certificate issuance ......We strive to be patient and careful in every step to ensure fairness and justice. Before each exam, we will discuss the ...... of the test room setting, safety and security, and life servicesEvery detail is not missed. In order to ensure the safety of the examination, we work together with the public security, telecommunications, electric power, medical and other departments to strengthen security duty, ensure the power supply, ensure the smooth network, and protect the health of candidates; In order to ensure the safety of the exam, we have added security doors and mobile phone cabinets, purchased security detectors, and carried out security checks before the exam. In order to ensure the warmth of the exam, we have demarcated emergency evacuation places, set up temporary storage places for small items, and added a tea and medical service desk to bring convenience and comfort to every candidate. In each exam, the test center leaders always arrive at the school early to stick to their posts, the invigilators always arrive on time and strictly abide by discipline, and the staff are always enthusiastic and attentive. When a candidate can't find the examination room for a while, there will be a staff to guide them enthusiastically; When a candidate is unwell, there will be an examination staff who will send hot water ...... as soon as possibleSeriousness does not mean indifference, every smiling face, every word of concern, warms the nervous heart of every candidate. As a teacher at the test center school said: "Self-examination is really not easy, we have the obligation and responsibility to do our best to serve each candidate under the premise of strict implementation of examination discipline, so that they can concentrate, feel at ease and comfortable in the test!" ”
Self-examination is not only a national examination system, but also a new form of education. As a national examination system, strict national examinations must be conducted for all self-study candidates in accordance with the goals and standards set by the state. As a new form of education, self-study candidates must complete all the courses specified in the professional examination plan and obtain passing grades, complete graduation ** or other teaching practice tasks, and pass the ideological and moral appraisal in order to obtain the corresponding academic certificate. This requires candidates to have strong self-learning ability and self-awareness. Self-examination is generally based on self-study, lacking the edification of the campus education environment atmosphere of ordinary colleges and universities, and also lacking the guidance and supervision of professional teachers, learning is all voluntary, conscious, and self-reliant, and the difficulties encountered are much more than those of ordinary college students, but they also cultivate their positive and enterprising spirit, perseverance and strong self-learning ability and self-discipline.
Most social self-examinees are part-time and study-part-time. They all have their own jobs and careers, as well as families and children, and learning can only be carried out by "hard squeezing" time in work and life. When others are leisurely watching TV and listening to **, when others are shopping and playing mahjong, when others are traveling and playing games, ......They're reading hard! What a strong willpower, what a strong self-control that sustains them. In the examination room, we saw an elderly man in his sixties, a pregnant woman who was pregnant with Liujia, and a worker who had just finished the night shift ......One after another self-examiners who drag their tired bodies but are full of firm beliefs, they are all real heroes! A candidate who works in a TV station has obtained a junior college and a bachelor's degree through self-examination, which took a full 10 years. She recalled: "Actually, I was very busy and tired at work, I wanted to relax and rest, and even thought about giving up. But when I thought of my original intention to improve my academic qualifications, I saw that I had passed one course after another, so I gritted my teeth and persevered! Self-examination has made me more self-disciplined, stronger, and more confident, and it has also subtly affected my attitude towards work and life. In retrospect, there is joy in suffering, and it is quite rewarding! ”
Most of the application-oriented candidates are students. They may not be able to get into their ideal university or major for various reasons, and choose to study on their own in order to improve their academic qualifications and employability. When other students are happy to spend the weekend, they are attending training classes; While other students were sleeping and entertaining, they were still ...... in the libraryThe cold comes and the summer comes, and the stars wear the moon. How many times they stayed up and kept vigils, and how many times they repeatedly failed and fought, so that they gained more knowledge, obtained higher academic qualifications, and also stood in an invincible position in employment. "The self-examination diploma is full of gold and high recognition, which will bring me a great advantage in my job search. "A student who has just graduated from junior college has obtained a self-examination undergraduate diploma, and his excitement and confidence are beyond words.
As an important part of China's higher education, self-examination is undoubtedly an important way to build a lifelong education system and a learning society. Salute to the self-examiners, whether it is the founder and implementer of the self-examination system, or the majority of unswerving self-examination candidates - as an educational examiner, only careful work and enthusiastic service!
