Be careful when choosing to re-study

Re-study will become a hot issue for senior high school students after the results of the college entrance examination are announced. As far as Beijing is concerned, in the 2006 college entrance examination, the proportion of repeat students was 15%. Calculated based on Beijing's 70% admission rate in 2006, the number of 30% failed students was more than 33,000. If we add in the students who have already entered but requested to repeat due to dissatisfaction with the school, major, and grade, it is estimated that in 2007 The proportion of repeat students will not be lower than in 2006.

However, re-reading is conditional. Not all candidates are suitable for re-reading. Parents and candidates must make rational judgments based on their own circumstances. To repeat the study, the following conditions must be met.

First, candidates themselves have a strong desire to repeat the exam. In order to pursue a higher social and economic status, candidates are dissatisfied with the status quo and are willing to further change their lives through repeat studies. Candidates repeating cannot just be their parents’ wish. Candidates are unwilling to repeat the exam and are forced to repeat it under the pressure of their parents. This kind of repetition has the worst effect.

Second, be clear about your review goals. The so-called clear goals include two aspects: first, which colleges and majors at which level you want to take the exam; second, how far your strength is from this goal and whether it can be achieved. The goal is appropriate and can be achieved through hard work. If the expectations are too high and the gap between your own strength and your expectations is relatively large, the effect of repeating one year will not be very good.

Third, be clear about the reasons why your goals have not been achieved. The reasons for failure and unsatisfactory results in the college entrance examination are multifaceted and complex. Some are intellectual factors, such as poor basic knowledge, unclear knowledge network, weak subject ability, low levels of various required abilities, inappropriate learning methods, poor self-study ability, etc. Some are non-intellectual factors, such as perseverance, perseverance, resilience, and the courage to overcome difficulties. No matter what the reason is, candidates must make a serious and scientific analysis of themselves. The process of self-analysis is the process of seeing a doctor and diagnosing, while the process of rereading is the process of treatment. Only when the diagnosis is correct can the treatment be effective.

Fourth, rereading requires perseverance. The college entrance examination is a difficult test, a speed test, and a psychological test. The college entrance examination not only tests knowledge, but also tests students' various abilities: learning ability, practical ability, comprehensive ability, and also tests students' innovative spirit. Once you choose to re-study, you cannot regret it or give up halfway. You must persist to the end.

Fifth, there is potential and room for improvement. A considerable number of repeat students are not failed students, they are just dissatisfied with their results. They need the guidance of excellent teachers and have room for improvement. The effect of such candidates' repeat studies will be more obvious.

Sixth, repeating with high scores is risky. The risk of repeating exams with high scores is mainly reflected in two aspects: First, high psychological pressure, high-scoring candidates have high expectations, non-famous brands, and missed key points; second, the higher the score, the more difficult it is to improve. The total score of the college entrance examination is 750 points, of which mid- and low-level questions account for 600 points. The remaining 150 points are difficult questions. It is difficult to increase the problem score rate. Therefore, rereading with high scores should be more sensible and rational.

Three major reasons for repeating the college entrance examination

After the college entrance examination results are announced, repeating will become a hot issue for senior high school students. Let me talk about my understanding of the college entrance examination repeating for the reference of parents and candidates.

The phenomenon of repeating studies has emerged since the establishment of the college entrance examination system. In the 1950s and 1960s, they were not called repeat students, but were generally called candidates with equivalent academic qualifications. That is to say, non-fresh graduates with high school graduation level could also take the college entrance examination, and were called "candidates with equivalent academic qualifications"; due to the underdeveloped economy of our country, higher education students The enrollment rate in education is low, and some candidates failed the college entrance examination, but they still want to take the college entrance examination. During this period, they are called "failed students"; soon the concept of "failed students" was derived into "past students" and "past students" It is aimed at "fresh graduates"; as society continues to develop and people's demand for education continues to increase, the concept of "repeating students" stands out. The concept of repeat students is very broad, including students who failed, including candidates who have already taken the college entrance examination but are not satisfied with their results. Some want to go to undergraduates, some want to go to a bachelor's degree, some want to be admitted to prestigious universities, and repeat students also include "three-year students". Campus student".

From this point of view, the phenomenon of "non-fresh graduates" taking the college entrance examination has a long history. If we go back to the era of the imperial examination system, the proportion of "repeat students" like Fan Jin will be even higher. I have been to South Korea to investigate education. The gross enrollment rate of Korean universities has reached 50%. However, educational institutions in Seoul such as "Jonggno", "Hansol", and "Koryeo" recruit a considerable number of repeat students every year, and some Candidates cannot go to Seoul National University. Of course, this is also due to the pressure of job competition.

As far as Beijing is concerned, the proportion of students who repeated the college entrance examination in 2006 was 15%. Calculated based on Beijing’s 70% admission rate in 2006, the number of 30% failed students was 33,332. If we add in the number of students who have already It is expected that the number of students who go online but request to repeat the course due to dissatisfaction with the school, major, or grade in 2007 will not be lower than that in 2006. Nationally, the proportion of repeat students varies widely due to regional differences, urban-rural differences and differences in admission rates.

The reasons for repeat reading are multifaceted and very complex. First of all, it is the result of the people's increasing awareness of education and the increasing demand for education. This is a good thing and marks a kind of progress in society. At present, the gross enrollment rate of our country's higher education has reached 20%, which means that our country's higher education has entered the mass education stage from the elite education stage. For a large developing country, this is a great progress. A great achievement. Of course, there is still a long way to go before the gross enrollment rate of higher education in our country reaches the universal stage. The gross enrollment rate in South Korea and Canada has reached 50%, and the gross enrollment rate in the United States has reached 80%. These countries have already entered the higher education stage. The popularization stage of education. The development of education, social development, and economic development are interdependent. I believe that one day our country's higher education will also enter the stage of universalization. The increase in national demand for education is a good thing, but we must establish a view on talent structure. Society's demand for talents is multi-layered and multi-faceted, and we cannot blindly pursue high academic qualifications.

The second reason for repeating studies is employment pressure. I have been to some remote rural areas to give lectures. Only by going to college can children in rural areas change their socioeconomic status and change their lives, while children in cities can only change their lives if they have high education. Only with an academic degree can you find a way to find a job. Some employers blindly pursue high academic qualifications and look down on college graduates. They do not require undergraduate students, but only master's and doctoral students. A friend once told me a famous saying: The teacher of the first college graduate in the world was definitely not a college student! This is a joke, but it is very philosophical. Employers should understand this truth: a good team should accommodate talents of all levels and levels!

Another reason for repeated studies is the institutional problems of colleges and universities. I have been to college, but I don’t know much about the college system, so I dare not make any unreasonable comments. Here I will only talk about the choice of major and the adjustment of majors. When senior high school students fill out their application form, some candidates are blind. Some of their choices are decided by their parents. Candidates are not very clear about their majors, professional courses, and professional direction. When they get to college, their interests and specialties will be completely different, making it even more difficult to change their majors. Difficulty has caused a very small number of students to return to the university to repeat their studies after half a year or one year.

The phenomenon of re-reading cannot be judged simply by right or wrong, good or bad. Re-reading is completely a personal choice and personal behavior, and personal value orientation should be understood and tolerated. What we have to do is to tell candidates that they have multiple options after they fail: they can study IT; they can choose a career that suits them and then enter adult education and take the adult college entrance examination; they can also choose to study abroad, study in private universities, etc. We want to tell the candidates that many successful people rely on their own hard work and hard work, rather than relying on high academic qualifications. We would also like to tell candidates that once they choose to re-study, they choose to work hard and must be fully mentally prepared.

What kind of students are suitable for repeating?

Not all candidates are suitable for repeating, which means that repeating is conditional. Parents and candidates must make rational judgments based on their own circumstances.

The reasons for unsatisfactory results in the college entrance examination are multifaceted and complex. Everyone's situation is different. Some are due to intellectual factors, and some are due to candidates' non-intellectual factors. No matter what the reason is, you must repeat the exam. The following conditions must be met.

First, candidates themselves have a strong desire to repeat the exam. In order to pursue a higher social and economic status, it is completely understandable that candidates are dissatisfied with the status quo, dissatisfied with their current level, institutions, and majors, and are willing to further change their lives through repeat studies. To say that candidates have a strong desire to repeat is to say that the candidate's desire to repeat comes from the heart of the examinee. It is particularly important to emphasize that the candidate's desire to repeat cannot just be the wish of his parents. Candidates are unwilling to repeat the exam and are forced to repeat it under the pressure of their parents. This kind of repetition has the worst effect.

Second, be clear about your review goals. The so-called clear goals include two aspects: first, which colleges and majors at which level you want to take the exam; second, how far your strength is from this goal and whether it can be achieved. The goal is appropriate and can be achieved through hard work. If the expectations are too high and the gap between your own strength and your expectations is relatively large, the effect of repeating one year will not be very good.

Third, be clear about the reasons why your goals have not been achieved. The reasons for failure and unsatisfactory results in the college entrance examination are multifaceted and complex, and each person's situation is different. Some of them are due to intellectual factors, such as poor basic knowledge, unclear knowledge network, and weak subject ability. , various abilities that should be possessed are low, learning methods are inappropriate, self-learning ability is poor, etc. Some are due to non-intellectual factors, such as perseverance, perseverance, resilience, the courage to overcome difficulties, etc. Of course, some candidates never receive guidance from famous teachers, and their studies always operate at a low level. No matter what the reason is, candidates must do serious and scientific dissection and analysis of themselves. The process of self-analysis and self-anatomy is the process of seeing a doctor and diagnosing, while the process of rereading is the process of treatment. Only when the diagnosis is correct can the treatment be effective.

Fourth, repeating requires perseverance and repeating requires hardship.

What is the college entrance examination? Yang Xuewei, former director of the National Examination Center of the Ministry of Education, believes that in a sense, the college entrance examination is an impact for candidates to reach their limits. The college entrance examination is a test of difficulty and speed. It is also a psychological test. The college entrance examination not only tests knowledge, but also tests students' various abilities: learning ability, practical ability, comprehensive ability, and also tests students' innovative spirit. The senior year of high school is the most difficult and tiring year for students in their twelve years of study. Do the candidates have the perseverance to work hard for another year? Another year of exhaustion? What is the candidate's psychological quality and psychological endurance? Once you choose to re-study, you cannot regret it or give up halfway. You must persist to the end.

Fifth, there is potential and room for improvement. A considerable number of repeat students are not failed students, they are just dissatisfied with their results. They need the guidance of excellent teachers, they have room for improvement, and they also have the desire to study again. For teachers, there are no students who cannot teach well, only teachers who cannot teach well. Teachers and students work together towards a goal, and learning problems can be completely solved.

Sixth, repeating with high scores is risky. There are advantages to repeating with high scores. The foundation is solid, the ability is well improved, the knowledge network is clear, and there are many questions that I have seen and done. Especially after a battle in the college entrance examination, I have matured, gained experience and learned lessons. The risk of repeating with high scores is mainly reflected in two aspects: First, high psychological pressure, high-scoring candidates have high expectations, are not famous brands, and do not focus on the key points. Repeating is the second time to hit the target, and the psychological pressure is greater compared with the first time. ; Second, the higher the score, the more difficult it is to rise. The total score of the college entrance examination is 750 points, with low- and medium-level questions accounting for 600 points. The remaining 150 points are difficult questions. It is difficult to increase the score of difficult questions. The advantages must be maintained and the disadvantages must be turned into advantages. This is the risk. Therefore, rereading with high scores should be more sensible and rational.

Seven different types of repeat classes

Once you decide to repeat your studies, choosing a repeat school becomes the first priority.

There is one concept that candidates and parents must understand: all repetition classes are privately run! Some are repetition classes named after famous schools, such as No. 4 Middle School and the High School Affiliated to Renmin University; some are run by social forces, such as repetition classes in elite schools; there are also repetition classes invested by corporate consortiums and repetition classes established by educational institutions at all levels. Different categories present different school running characteristics.

An important principle in choosing a repeat school is: choose a repeat school that suits you and choose teachers that suit your level. To choose, you need to compare and examine. Compare to what? What to investigate? Here are some selection ideas for parent candidates’ reference.

1. Look at the teaching qualifications of the repeat class organizers and management. The organizers and management of the repeat class should have high teaching qualifications. Strictly speaking, they should have taught, been a class teacher, studied the college entrance examination, mastered the rules of the college entrance examination, and have certain experience and deep foundation. Otherwise, it is "congenitally deficient".

2. There must be a certain history in establishing a repeat class. Holding repeat classes for many years will accumulate a lot of experience on the psychology of repeat students, the teaching arrangements for repeat students, and the management of repeat students. In terms of school running concepts, teaching methods, and management systems, a lot of valuable wealth will be accumulated. These experiences and Wealth is the basic guarantee for improving the quality of repeat classes.

3. The repeat class should have a certain scale. What does scale mean? Scale means credibility - the trust of candidates; scale means performance - outstanding achievements; scale means teachers have formed a group, which has a great impact on teachers' lesson preparation, teaching research, teaching evaluation, teaching quality and teaching management. promotion effect. A law and rule of education - teachers' labor must be "collective wisdom and individual labor", so teachers in repeat schools must be a group of a certain size; scale is the prerequisite for hierarchical teaching, and the class formation of repeat students is the same as in ordinary high schools. Different, the levels of repeat students must be clearly distinguished, and the classes of repeat students must achieve stratified teaching. Without a certain scale, stratified teaching cannot be implemented.

4. The repeat class should have a team of teachers with reasonable structure, noble ethics and professional skills. It should be said that private repetition institutions can generally integrate high-quality educational resources. However, when candidates and parents inspect a repetition school: First, they must learn to read advertisements. Is it possible that all the special teachers and top teachers wish? Is it possible that the effect will be good? The principle of teacher selection is to choose a teacher that suits you. Second, teachers should form a group, including old, middle-aged and young teachers, retired teachers, in-service front-line teachers, and super-senior teachers. Such a team of teachers can combine experience and energy, which is the best combination. Third, teachers must be supervised. The so-called supervised teachers refer to participating in teaching and research activities in a district, so that teachers in the review class can get first-hand information on the teaching and review of senior high school students.

5. It depends on the characteristics and types of repeat classes. Repeating institutions have their own characteristics and types. Some only accept mid- to high-end candidates and have bottom-line requirements for the 2006 college entrance examination scores; some are fully closed and require students to live on campus; some have classes on Saturdays and Sundays; some only recruit day students; Some are mainly "three schools students"; some are taught in different levels and classes, and some are not divided; some are taught in large classes, some are taught in normal classes and small classes, etc. Candidates and parents must understand clearly and pay attention to students according to the needs of candidates Group quality, choose an ideal repeat school.

6. Look at the management of repeat classes. Management includes three aspects: first, student management, all types of repeat classes attach great importance to it, and there is not much difference; second, parent management, including parent meetings, volunteer application tutoring, contact with parents, etc.; third, college entrance examination registration issues, general repeat classes The school cannot do this. It receives candidates' files and is responsible for a series of tasks such as students' college entrance examination registration, physical examination, volunteer tutoring, arranging examination rooms, delivering examinations, and checking scores. This is the greatest humanistic care for candidates. Many repeat students return to the community to register as soon as they graduate, just like children without a mother. This is the distress of repeat students.

7. It depends on the performance of the repeat class. The performance of the repeat class has been described in advertisements as confusing and dizzying to parents and candidates.

I just want to tell the candidates, which level of candidates you are, you should pay attention to how much the level of the repeat school may improve. This is the most practical and most affordable. For example, if you are a candidate with a score of 580 or above, then you can take a look The grade increase in this repeat school; if your score is around 500, then you should pay attention to the grade increase at this level. The admission rate is of no use to you because you are already online.

8. Listen carefully to the introductions of candidates who have repeated the exam. The students' introduction is based on their own experience. What is life like when you are studying again? How big is the psychological burden? Communication among candidates can help you make up your mind. Candidates who have finished re-reading introduced the school situation from a different angle. In short, listen more, read more, and think more before making a decision.

9. Don’t believe in promises. In order to expand the number of students, especially for high-scoring students, some repeat classes make admissions promises. If they are grade promises, you must not believe them, and if they are topic promises, you must not believe them. This is tantamount to deception. I have been engaged in education and teaching all my life, and I know that there are too many and complex factors that determine students’ academic performance and effects. Commitments and wishes do not conform to cognitive laws and examination laws. Beijing’s 2004 and 2005 regulations on repeat commitments Are there still few lawsuits?

Repeating is a painful choice in life for candidates. It has to pay for a family both financially and psychologically. Therefore, whether to repeat and what kind of repeating school to choose must be rational. We must start from the actual situation of the candidates, read more, run more, ask more questions, and make choices through comparison. Nationally speaking, four provinces are about to carry out the first round of college entrance examination reform, and candidates must be more cautious when repeating the college entrance examination.
