Only exceptional admission with math scores is detrimental to the fairness of the college entrance examination and does little to promote mathematics

#高考#

The college entrance examination is known as the first test in life, and it is also the fairest exam for most people to change their fate. The reason why the college entrance examination is fair is that as long as you are in the same province, no matter what gender, what age, or what family background, in the college entrance examination is all based on the test score, whoever has a high score can give priority to choosing a school and major. Moreover, the college entrance examination is very strict from the questioning, invigilation to the correction of the paper, which ensures the fairness and authenticity of the test scores. For this reason, the results of the college entrance examination determine the whereabouts of candidates, which has been widely recognized by the society and the public.

However, if a person with a lower score in the college entrance examination than you is admitted to the school of your choice, but you are rejected by this school, will you believe it? Maybe you don't believe it, but this year, a number of 985 schools have come up with a policy, that is, as long as you score a high score of 145 or more in mathematics, no matter how much the total score is, you can be hired exceptionally. So, what you didn't worry about and even less believed in is about to come true.

►A number of 985 schools have clearly proposed that those with a score of 145 or above in a single subject of mathematics will be admitted exceptionally

Beijing Institute of Technology: 150 points in mathematics in the college entrance examination, regardless of whether the total score is reached, can be admitted exceptionally.

Shandong University: Mathematics score of 148 or above, can meet the first professional volunteer shortlisted.

Sun Yat-sen University: Mathematics with a score of 140 or above, can be shortlisted.

Central South University: Mathematics score of 145 or above, you can be directly shortlisted.

Jilin University: Mathematics 145+, can be shortlisted.

National University of Defense Technology: Mathematics 147 or above, Physics 98 or Science 294 can be shortlisted.

► Media voice

The surging news commentary article pointed out that the emphasis on mathematics scores in the "Strong Foundation Plan" is very beneficial to some students with particularly excellent scores in a single subject. However, the guiding role of this experiment in the education system as a whole should not be exaggerated. First of all, a reality that must be faced is that the strong foundation plan, including the clear and exceptional admission standards of some universities, is aimed at the spire group among the candidates, and the absolute number is not large; secondly, it may not be accurate to simply understand it as taking care of strange and partial talents. As many netizens said, the general mathematics score can reach more than 145 points, and most of the scores in other subjects are not too bad.

On the one hand, the college entrance examination competition is a comprehensive score, which has not really been shaken even in the strong foundation plan. To a certain extent, this is also determined by the fairness of the college entrance examination as an important way to select talents, and on the other hand, it is also necessary to prevent new educational anxiety from being triggered.

Purple Cow News commented on the article: As soon as the news that the strong foundation plan of colleges and universities allows a single subject to be "exceptional" came out, netizens immediately fried the pot. In particular, the high appearance rate of a single subject of mathematics in the exceptional conditions has made many netizens sigh that the era of "mathematics is king" is coming. How should we look at the phenomenon that the basic disciplines are top-notch and can be shortlisted for the strong foundation test?

Industry insiders said that the specific requirements for the "exceptional" results of single subjects such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry are put forward in the 2024 Strong Foundation Brochure, which will undoubtedly promote the teaching of basic subjects in secondary schools. The corresponding teaching investment in basic subjects such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry will increase, and front-line high school teachers will pay more attention to the training of students' problem-solving skills, logical thinking, and innovation ability. However, over-amplification and emphasis on the "exceptional" of a single subject will also have a negative impact.

Taking mathematics as an example, the main focus of the college entrance examination mathematics is the mastery, proficiency and fineness of knowledge, and the innovation ability is not the focus of the college entrance examination mathematics. In addition, particularly difficult questions are not allowed in the mathematics propositions of the college entrance examination.

Under such a premise, the results of a single subject in mathematics may not be able to select the candidates with the strongest mathematical ability. Statistics show that many people who have excellent results in mathematics competitions and have made outstanding achievements in mathematics research later do not have very high mathematics scores in the college entrance examination. Therefore, those who can go to the end in the special type of enrollment of colleges and universities must be students with excellent comprehensive quality and excellent results in a single subject.

► Event analysis

In fact, it is not uncommon to recruit students with special talents, and if we look at the current policy of recruiting students with special talents in sports, that is, those who have achieved a certain place in a certain level of competition can be directly admitted as students of certain colleges and universities; there is a policy of recruiting winners of various competitions as special students, that is, those who have won such and such awards in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and other discipline competitions at a certain level can be directly admitted as students of such and such colleges and universities. In these two situations, it is understandable that people can be admitted to colleges and universities.

On the one hand, these two kinds of people are very talented in the field of sports or mathematics, physics and chemistry, and if they are not talented, it is impossible to participate in international competitions and win awards through layers of selection. On the other hand, these two kinds of people are often already heroes who have won glory for the country, some of them have made direct contributions to the sports power, and some have directly defeated foreign Tianjiao in mathematics, physics and chemistry academically, and have established the prestige of the mainland in academics, and it is natural to have this kind of treatment.

However, it seems a bit far-fetched to make a single subject score in mathematics a condition that violates the rule of admission with a total score in the college entrance examination.

On the one hand, a person with a high score in mathematics in the college entrance examination does not mean that his grades in other subjects are good, and his results in other subjects are not good, which proves that his learning methods and learning management ability are not strong, and this kind of person actually has little potential for development.

Both, people with high scores in mathematics in the college entrance examination do not mean that their total score in the college entrance examination is high, and the total score of the college entrance examination is very poor but they are admitted to prestigious schools, which destroys the fairness of the college entrance examination.

Three, a person with a high score in mathematics only means that the score of the college entrance examination is high, and it is too biased to conclude that he is a mathematical genius or even a mathematician based on a test score.

Fourth, mathematics is important, but other disciplines are not important, no science and technology that benefits the country and the people can be completed by mathematics alone, and every science and technology that brings great benefits to the whole human race is the result of the joint efforts of multiple disciplines.

Five, whether it is a contemporary mathematical genius or a contemporary mathematician, in fact, their role is not to create a new system, to invent any new formulas, because those things have basically been done by the predecessors, the current human social progress is most needed to improve the efficiency and conversion rate of mathematical applications, how much does such a talent have to do with 140 or even 150 points in mathematics in the college entrance examination? After all, the difficulty and application of the mathematics questions in the college entrance examination are not a difficult thing for people who are really professional in mathematics, and it is not difficult to take a test with a score of more than 140 for a period of time.

Perhaps, some people think that no matter what kind of science and technology must be based on mathematics, if there is no breakthrough in mathematics, other fields will not be able to break through, and as far as our country is concerned, talents in other fields are in the forefront of the world in terms of quantity and quality, but there is a lack of talents in mathematics, and there is a lack of excellent talents, so there is something wrong with attaching great importance to the cultivation of mathematical talents. If this is the case, then it is indeed necessary to strengthen the cultivation of mathematical talents, and to look up to those who have mathematical talents, not only is not a bad thing, but a great thing.

However, since what is needed is a high-level talent who is truly talented in mathematics and has the potential to become mathematicians, it is necessary to solve the problem of mathematical talent first.

In fact, there is no authoritative generalization of this problem, but basically people with mathematical talent should have a great interest in learning mathematics; they should have a strong understanding ability and excellent grades in learning mathematics, specifically they can achieve excellent results in a specific mathematics test, and this specific mathematics test is certainly not as simple as college entrance examination mathematics, but from the mathematical foundation, mathematical awareness, mathematical thinking, mathematical logic, Mathematical calculations and mathematical applications are comprehensively assessed and examined for the intended training objects, and the mathematics scores of the college entrance examination are only an insignificant reference;

Then there is the IQ to be high, IQ is the most effective way to judge a person's intelligence, if the IQ is not high just good math scores, it is estimated that there is not much potential to be tapped.

Second, make sure that people who are talented in mathematics are willing to pursue research in the field of mathematics and to be employed in the field of mathematics. If you find someone with mathematical talent, the next step is to find a way to make him really engage in mathematical work, no matter how high a person's mathematical talent is, if he is unwilling to develop in the field of mathematics, then no matter how good his talent is, it will be a waste.

Finally, it is necessary to provide essential guarantees for people with mathematical talents to truly exert their talents, and then contribute to the development of human science and technology. This is to carry out a comprehensive guarantee from the aspects of equipment and facilities, mechanism and system, welfare benefits, humanistic care, team building, etc., lack of necessary hardware, without a professional and high-energy team, no matter how good the mathematician can not effectively play its role.

► Conclusion

Whether it is Beijing Institute of Technology, Shandong University, National University of Defense Technology and other colleges and universities, it is estimated that the original intention of attaching importance to the scores of a single subject in mathematics and determining the winner of a single subject in mathematics is nothing more than to break through the country's mathematical problems in tackling certain scientific and technological problems and find top mathematical talents.

Therefore, to accomplish this mission only through the scores of the mathematics college entrance examination, not only is the method unscientific, but also may omit the real mathematical genius, and at the same time, it will also exacerbate the phenomenon of middle school students' partial subjectivity, and even lay hidden dangers for some mathematics training institutions to make a windfall, and it is an unscientific method that undermines the fairness of the college entrance examination.

It is suggested that the personnel and education departments of the organization should take the lead in setting up a special institution for the excavation of mathematical talents, and further expand and strengthen the contingent of mathematical talents in the mainland in accordance with the procedures of IQ testing, special examination and assessment, professional training, scientific management, active reuse, and vigorous rewards.
