我對考試的觀點 My Views on Examinations
Since school comes into being, the test standard has been used to appraise performance of students. So far it is still being used, which may suggest that actually there are some advantages in it. However, it is also highly possible that the test standard is a not ideal way to find out what students have learned and what they haven't. Most school is still using it just because there is no better method to replace it.
In my opinion, the following three points are the critical flaws in the test standard.
One of the most harmful effects on the test method is that it will force us to study just for passing tests, not for acquiring knowledge especially in China. Obviously the final object of education is making us intellective by learning more knowledge. While the test is only a way to examine the level of students' studies, it has been deteriorated to a sifter deciding the fate of students. Why can it be called a terrible sifter? Now in the tests, which decide who can enter a higher school, thousands of poor students, who want a splendid future, must prepare for the tests by finishing a great deal of practices. Those practice tests are heavy-laden to them. So in this case, how can they be expected to study to obtain knowledge? To them that are enough if they can reach the level which tests need. In the end what our nation will get, genuine persons with ability or just test robots?
Secondly, tests will bring the examinees great pressure, which can affect their lives. A typical example of this is that most young students have worn glasses even though some of them are still children. For preparing for tests, they must spend a lot of time on doing their homework so that their eyesight becomes worse and worse. And the more time they spend on those, the less time they have for playing and relaxing. Consequently, there is a bad influence on their health.
Thirdly, in fact, test system itself can not veraciously estimate who is better than others because there are many factors impacting the results of test. For instance, someone cheated in test so that his score would be higher than others. Or someone who was too nervous to perform well fell in the test.
Only in spare time and no pressure of tests existent, students can study simply for the fun, for obtaining knowledge and for the things that they are really interested in. But now the test system is the only way to select which one is better, who can reach better school and who can get good job. Then what we can do is to improve the test system or hope that something better will be invented and replace the test system.
自從學校產生以來,測試標準已被用來評價學生的表現。到目前為止仍在使用,這可能表明,實際上有一些優勢。然而,它是也極有可能,測試標準是不理想的方式來找出什么學生學到,什么他們沒有。大多數學校仍然使用它,只是因為有沒有更好的方法來取代它。
在我看來,以下三點是測試標準中的關鍵缺陷。
對測試方法的一個最有害的影響是,它將迫使我們學習只是為了通過測試,而不是獲取知識,特別是在中國。顯然,教育的最終目標是使我們的學習更多的知識智力。而測試只是一種檢測學生的學習水平,它已經惡化到篩決定命運的學生。為什么它可以被稱為一個可怕的篩?現在的測試,而決定誰能進入高等學校,成千上萬的貧困學生,誰想要一個美好的未來,必須準備測試通過完成一個偉大的處理的做法。那些練習考試是沉重的負擔。因此,在這種情況下,他們如何能期望學習獲得知識?如果他們能夠達到的水平,這是足夠的,如果他們可以達到的水平,測試需要。到底我們國家將獲得什么,真正的人有能力或只是測試機器人?
其次,測試將考生的壓力很大,這會影響他們的生活。這是一個典型的例子是,大多數年輕學生都戴眼鏡,盡管他們中的一些人仍然是兒童。為了準備考試,他們必須花費大量的時間做家庭作業,使他們的視力變得越來越差。他們花的時間越多,他們玩和放松的時間就越少。因此,對他們的健康有不利的影響。
再次,事實上,測試系統本身不能準確估計是比別人更好,因為有許多因素影響的試驗結果。例如,有人在考試中作弊,所以他的分數會比別人高。或者是一個太過緊張的人在測試中表現得很好。
只有在業余時間,沒有壓力的測試存在,學生可以學習的樂趣,獲得知識和對他們感興趣的東西,他們是真正感興趣的。但現在的測試系統是唯一的方法來選擇哪一個是更好的,誰能到達更好的學校和誰可以得到好工作。那么我們可以做的是改進測試系統,或者希望更好的東西會被發明出來,取代測試系統。
