Beijing’s new college entrance examination program has been released, and the examination content and admission mechanism have been adjusted.

　　The college entrance examination has always been the focus of social attention. As the second batch of pilot provinces and cities for college entrance examination reform, Beijing’s new college entrance examination plan was released today. The relevant person in charge of the education department in Beijing said that it is expected that by 2020, a modern college entrance examination enrollment system in line with the actual education in the capital will be initially established, and a college entrance examination enrollment model with classified examinations, comprehensive evaluation, multiple admissions and fairness will be formed. What are the characteristics of the "New College Entrance Examination" in Beijing? As candidates and parents, what corresponding preparations do you need for the new college entrance examination in Beijing in 2020?

　　The examination content and admission mechanism have been adjusted.

　　From 2020, the new college entrance examination in Beijing will be held in all subjects. The person in charge said that this reform has been greatly adjusted in terms of examination content and admission plan:

　　First, a high school level examination system has been established. Since September 1, 2017, the general high school level examination has been implemented from the first year of high school, and the examination results are an important basis for students to graduate and enter higher schools. The high school level examination includes "3 out of 6" high school level grading examination and 13 subjects high school level qualification examination.

　　Second, improve the evaluation system of students’ comprehensive quality. Timely and objectively record specific activities that reflect the main aspects of students’ comprehensive quality of morality, intelligence, physique and beauty, collect relevant factual materials, and form students’ comprehensive quality files. In the process of enrollment, students’ comprehensive quality files are provided to relevant universities for reference.

　　Third, promote the reform of examination content and form. Scientifically design the test paper structure and proposition content, and highlight the ability orientation of the test. Continue to maintain and enhance the basic, comprehensive and flexible characteristics of Beijing test papers, and enhance the selectivity and openness of test papers. Keep the subjects of Chinese, mathematics and foreign languages in the unified college entrance examination unchanged, regardless of arts and sciences. Explore and demonstrate the feasibility of providing two examination opportunities, and carry out the pilot reform of foreign language listening twice a year.

　　The education department of Beijing also took Xiaoming (virtual), a candidate who will take the college entrance examination in 2020, as an example to interpret the reform plan: if Xiaoming, an ordinary senior high school student, wants to take the college entrance examination in 2020, then he needs to take the high school academic qualification examination first. The examination includes 13 subjects: Chinese, Mathematics, Foreign Languages, Ideological and Political Studies, History, Geography, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Sports and Health, Art (Music, Fine Arts), Information Technology and General Technology.

　　Then, he needs to take the general examinations of three subjects (regardless of arts and sciences) and the "3 out of 6" high school academic level grading examination, that is, he chooses to take three examination subjects from six subjects: ideological and political, history, geography, physics, chemistry and biology. And the 6-out-of-3 exam score he got is no longer a paper score, but a grade score. Graded test scores are divided into five grades from high to low, including A, B, C, D and E, among which A accounts for 15%, B accounts for 40%, C accounts for 30%, D accounts for 14%, and E does not exceed 1%. The proportion of each grade is determined according to the closest proportion.

　　At the same time, in the process of enrollment, Xiaoming’s comprehensive quality files are provided to relevant universities for reference, which will timely and objectively record Xiaoming’s specific activities in the main aspects of his comprehensive quality, collect relevant factual materials, and form students’ comprehensive quality files. According to the unified college entrance examination results and high school academic level test results, the enrollment school selects the best candidates with reference to the comprehensive quality evaluation of students.

　　If Xiao Ming is not admitted to an undergraduate college, he can continue to participate in higher vocational (junior college) admission, and the total admission score only refers to the unified college entrance examination results of language, mathematics and foreign languages.

　　Pay more attention to the autonomy of students and universities.

　　Xiao Ming, who arranges senior high school life according to the above examination rhythm and choice, will have a richer and more diversified life than senior high school students now. The relevant person in charge of the Beijing Municipal Education Commission said that this reform has expanded students’ and colleges’ right to choose independently, which will also have a series of positive impacts on senior high school education.

　　First, it can form favorable conditions for the diversified and characteristic development of ordinary high schools. In terms of curriculum, high schools can form distinctive characteristics in elective courses, especially in the construction of school-based courses; In terms of teaching arrangement, we can form characteristics in the teaching of compulsory courses and build excellent courses according to the choice of subjects and teachers in the academic level grading examination of our school students. Second, regardless of the reform of arts and sciences and the evaluation system and mechanism, students can choose courses by mixing arts and sciences. On the one hand, it expands students’ choice, on the other hand, it can promote the integration and collision of students’ liberal arts thinking ability and science thinking ability, thus stimulating students’ innovative thinking ability and being conducive to all-round development. Third, students choose to study the selected subjects according to their personal academic specialties and career development plans, highlighting the important value orientation and reform goals of the new curriculum reform in senior high schools, thus helping students to achieve differentiated and personalized development on a common basis.

　　Ma Tao, vice president of China Academy of Educational Sciences, said that this reform in Beijing shows that the focus is on subjects, which is a great change compared with the past. “‘ New college entrance examination ’ The scheme is more in line with the needs of scientific talent selection for colleges and universities; For the education authorities, it is conducive to promoting fairness, responding to social concerns, increasing students’ right to choose, making high school learning more conducive to the display of specialties and personality, and avoiding ‘ Thousands of troops crossed the wooden bridge ’ ‘ Measure to the end with a ruler ’ The situation. "

　　Talking about the future trend of college entrance examination reform, Ma Tao said: "First of all, the reform should respect students’ right to choose, and it should also be conducive to the selection of talents in colleges and universities, and choose talents that are suitable for the characteristics of the school and highlight the training, especially those that have requirements for some specific subjects, and there should be corresponding systems to follow up on the selection of subjects. Parallel volunteer, filling in volunteers after scoring, merging some admission batches, and self-enrollment are all good reform directions, which can allow candidates to avoid the risks when applying for the exam. "

　　"The college entrance examination is the exam with the highest social concern." Ma Tao said, "We should take care of the interests of the vast majority of candidates, let everyone get into a school that suits them, and colleges and universities recruit students who want to recruit." Wang Feng, director of the comprehensive research department of the Education Development Research Center of the Ministry of Education, believes that the Beijing plan is a continuation of the comprehensive reform pilot projects in Shanghai, Zhejiang and other provinces, and has inherited the ideas of the pilot projects and summarized and learned the experience of the pilot projects. First of all, the way of "taking an exam after studying, taking one exam and clearing one exam", if the time of choosing an exam is arranged too early, it will force students to face the pressure of college entrance examination in advance in senior one, and the way of choosing subjects for more than one year has also had some impact on the teaching rhythm and teaching plan of senior high school. In Beijing’s reform plan, the graded examination is organized once every academic year, arranged in June each year, and the examination object is limited to candidates who took the unified college entrance examination in this city that year, which avoids the above problems to some extent.

　　Reasonably guide students to choose subjects.

　　Wang Feng also pointed out that in the pilot practice in Zhejiang and other provinces, there were few students in relatively difficult subjects (such as physics) at the beginning, which caused students with good grades in the corresponding subjects to concentrate on taking exams, but the scoring method based on percentage grades made most students unable to get excellent grades. I hope to improve the relevant measures and further strengthen the guidance for students to choose the subjects reasonably.

　　"The focus of the reform is on grading, and there are many technical problems. Shanghai carries out a variety of combinations, and the difference is very fine. The difference of Beijing’s scheme is relatively small, and the degree of discrimination will be high. There should also be supporting measures to guide students in subject selection, so as to avoid causing candidates to choose subjects strategically and ‘ Top students’ game ’ On the one hand, it is hoped that colleges and universities will have clearer requirements on the subjects of enrollment, and more supporting programs are needed in the system design. If you have already organized an academic exam, you can analyze it according to the corresponding big data and make targeted adjustments. " Ma Tao said.

　　For the students and parents who are facing the "new college entrance examination", Ma Tao said: "Three years of study is a process, so there is no need for parents and candidates to be too anxious. Schools and parents should provide guidance and training for their children’s career development in a targeted manner, make good plans, and generally need a framework for what kind of majors they want to study in the future and in which direction they want to develop, which can be reasonably grasped according to students’ interests, talents and dominant subjects. "

　　The relevant person in charge of the education department in Beijing also said that for candidates and senior high schools, the requirements of colleges and universities for candidates’ examination subjects are an important basis for senior high school students’ course selection and examination, and an inevitable requirement for promoting the organic connection of talent training between academic segments, which is of great significance for guiding senior high schools to deepen education and teaching reform and promoting students’ personal development to meet the needs of national talents. When students choose graded examination subjects, they should comprehensively consider many factors: first, they should consider their own academic interests and abilities; Second, through effective career planning education, determine the future development direction, and consider the future colleges and majors in advance; Third, according to the requirements of selecting subjects in colleges and universities, we should choose the subjects reasonably.
