Half of the students cannot enter high school, how can their academic performance be steadily improved?
The diversion of the middle school entrance examination is almost a foregone conclusion. This means that nearly half of the country's students are unable to enter ordinary high schools and are directly diverted to secondary vocational education schools. Because in March 2021, the Ministry of Education issued a relevant document, requiring that "the proportion of job popularization is roughly equal". As soon as the document came out, it immediately aroused widespread concern and discussion in society, and some people supported and some people opposed it. Writer Mo Yan believes that delayed diversion is an optional option, because boys are late and energetic, so the top students in primary and secondary schools are mostly girls, and the top people in high school classes are mostly boys, and the implementation of diversion in middle schools may be slightly unfair to some boys.
In our cognition, the college entrance examination is the moment to change the fate, but after the implementation of the diversion, the middle school entrance examination may be more important, because it can determine the future direction of students' life development, whether to become a front-line technical worker or office clerk, it is determined by the "middle school entrance examination" this examination, theoretically look at the ranking does not look at the score, half read ordinary high school, half go to technical school. This is difficult for students who aspire to obtain a heavy brand but their results are not ideal at this stage.
In fact, ordinary high schools have always been the main body of high school education in China, teaching activities are mainly cultural theory courses, supplemented by appropriate practical courses, the teaching purpose is mainly to improve the level of students' cultural basic courses, to provide conditions for the university's advanced education, the whole belongs to basic education. Vocational high schools exist to cultivate technical talents with intermediate vocational abilities, and students study in different majors, and after graduation, they can have the knowledge skills and operational ability to directly engage in a certain occupation.
Judging from the industrial layout of our country at this stage, we also need a large number of young people who can engage in low-tech and physical work, who are the cornerstone of basic products. Students who come out of vocational education have a skill and can find stable employment, but this is not the ideal choice for most parents and children. There are three main reasons.
First, the reputation is poor
Vocational high school students mainly come from students who have been "eliminated" by the middle school entrance examination, their academic performance and quality are relatively poor, and there is less discipline at home, which may cause school violence and affect the physical and mental health of children.
Second, the learning atmosphere is poor
People are the product of the environment, and affected by the environment and constraints, vocational high school students generally lack goals, do not like to study and examination, there is no learning atmosphere, poor self-control is easy to go with the flow, waste of time.
Third, graduation work is hard
The professional and technical personnel trained by vocational high schools are mainly engaged in front-line technical work, and may also involve a lot of physical work, which is a challenge for some young people.
In fact, many parents are aware of the drawbacks of vocational high school, but they are powerless in the face of their children's academic performance. How to improve children's academic performance and make children stand out in the middle school entrance examination, parents can do nothing more than three points.
- Set goals
First of all, we must understand the number of references in the region, the quality of student sources and the admission score line of the past years, and then combine the current state of the child, analyze and formulate a clear goal, or cross the line or ordinary high school or sprint key high school, and have a goal to have a direction.
- Decompose the target
Break down tasks layer by layer according to the goal, and then concentrate time on completing a single small task, which can quickly make up for shortcomings. On the whole, the examination questions are relatively basic, as long as the learning attitude is correct, review on time, and supplemented by correct learning methods, the score is likely to improve rapidly.
3. Learning aids
The biggest obstacles to students' learning are inefficiency, lack of concentration, poor mental state, and seemingly effort is useless. Scientific research has shown that every 60-120 minutes of work and study, the energy of the human body will go from abundant to depressed, which is the circadian clock. In the downturn, it is natural to replenish the energy to improve the state, and here you can borrow the energy of the light. Because light energy affects human function through the nervous system and improves cognitive efficiency. At the same time, the electromagnetic energy of light will also stimulate specific human cells to receive light energy, allowing cells to carry out efficient metabolism and rejuvenation [1].
For Chinese students, the closest light to them is indoor lighting and eye lamps. At present, there are a few eye lamps on the market that focus on high energy and efficiency. Taking Dr. Edward's product as an example, it makes full use of the characteristics of light, provides children with different intensities of light in different scenes, so that students are full of learning, and through the "light tomato mode" that comes with it, it sends photophysiological hints to the body every 45 minutes, reminding students to rest for 10 minutes, and sending out light waves that are beneficial to restore energy during this break to help the body replenish energy [2], and after 10 minutes, they can concentrate on learning. This cycle not only allows students' eyes to be rested and protected, but also allows students to maintain their peak state at all times, and the learning effect is twice as effective.
People are often obsessed with things they can't change, and this is the source of suffering. For the triage of the middle school entrance examination, if you want to enroll in the high school of your choice, you may need parents and children to work together to make great efforts in learning methods and efficiency, starting from the first knowledge point of the first question to check and fill in the gaps, and steadily advance. Avoid impetuousness and delusion.
