"'Materialization' double-choice candidates have won numb, and 'political and historical' candidates are too difficult" "'Materialization' double-choice line is easy to read undergraduates, and 'politically and historically' 500 points can only be read in private undergraduate colleges and universities......" Shandong college entrance examination centralized admission work has been completed, according to the admission results, this year's general class regular batch of undergraduate level colleges and universities major admissions have undergone great changes: since the new college entrance examination, the undergraduate level professional pitch line has appeared a new low, and "materialized" candidates can still study undergraduate with a score of 20 points below the first line; In stark contrast, the submission line of partial candidates has been greatly improved, and there is a big difference between the admission of partial candidates and partial candidates.
According to the analysis of industry experts, there are too many candidates for the "liberal arts" examination and the number of plans has not increased significantly, and "more monks and less porridge" has boosted the rise of the liberal arts majors. This also gives some inspiration to students who will take the college entrance examination in the future, not only to see which subject to give them a higher score when choosing subjects, but also to pay attention to how to combine interests and hobbies with the voluntary filling requirements of colleges and universities, and to follow the direction of national policies to do a good job in career planning.
"Materialization" bundles boots to the ground, and 20 points offline can still be used as undergraduates
"I didn't expect that the 'power' of this year's 'materialization' bundling policy is so great, in the past, the 'politics, history and geography' combination test scored about 500 points, and basically you could study in a public undergraduate college, but it is not easy to be admitted to a private undergraduate college this year." Xiao Liu is a combination of "politics, history and place" candidates, who scored 503 points in the college entrance examination and has been confirmed to be admitted to a private school. She was a little difficult to accept such a result and was considering whether to repeat it. In fact, as Xiao Liu said, after the completion of the first voluntary submission of the regular batch of ordinary classes this year, many candidates with a score of about 500 points in the "politics, history and place" combination left messages in the online comments, saying that "I unfortunately slipped the gear".
In the first submission of the regular batch of general classes, the minimum score of the undergraduate major required for "unlimited" subject selection is 466 points, which is the film major of Qingdao Film Academy, which is 22 points higher than the first line; The minimum score for the selection of "physical" majors is 444 points (i.e., a line), involving more than 200 majors, including Liaocheng University's biological science major (normal class), Linyi University's biotechnology major (Sino-foreign cooperative education), food science and engineering (Sino-foreign cooperative education) and other public university undergraduate majors. In the second submission of the regular batch of the general category, the lowest score of the professional file limited to "materialization" appeared a "new low" since the new college entrance examination, and the lowest score was the computer science and technology major of Hainan Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences, with a score of 424, 20 points lower than the first line.
There is a big difference in scores between the majors that are "unlimited" and the majors that are limited to "materialization". Candidates who were bundled with "materialization" received the dividends of the policy and were admitted to undergraduate colleges with relatively low scores; "Non-materialized" candidates are a little difficult, especially candidates with a score of about 490-510, "high and low", it is difficult to study public undergraduates, but they are somewhat unwilling to study private undergraduates. During the interview, the reporter learned that a considerable number of candidates with a score of about 500 chose to repeat this year. In the case that the subjects selected by candidates are not adjusted on a large scale, the difficulty of "non-materialized" candidates to be admitted to undergraduate colleges and universities next year will not be lower than this year.
The first line of the general class in Shandong is delineated according to the 1:1.2 of the number of general undergraduate enrollment plans, and a considerable number of online candidates are destined to fail to study undergraduate. Some analysts believe that this year's situation is relatively special, and there are about 60,000 candidates who cannot study online for undergraduates, most of whom are "non-objectified" candidates.
There are many "non-materialized" students, and there are few unrestricted selection plans, which urges the "liberal arts" score line to be raised
The policy of "materialization" bundling originates from the Guidelines for the Requirements for Subjects for Undergraduate Admissions in Colleges and Universities (General Version) (hereinafter referred to as the "Guidelines") issued by the Ministry of Education in 2021. The biggest change in the guidelines is that the "or" in the previous subject selection is adjusted to "and", and each major in colleges and universities can put forward four types of requirements for candidates to apply for the examination according to the actual situation: "1 subject, 2 subjects, 3 subjects or no mention". In fact, liberal arts majors basically do not have subject selection requirements, and science majors such as "science, engineering, agriculture and medicine" basically require limited selection of "materialization". In the same year, the Shandong Provincial Education Admissions Examination Institute announced the requirements for the selection of subjects for the enrollment majors (majors) of ordinary colleges and universities in 2024, and "materialization" bundling has become a mandatory requirement for most colleges and universities in 2024 for "science, engineering, agriculture and medicine".
The reporter combed and found that this year, there are more than 152,000 enrollment plans for majors that limit the selection of "materialization" or "physics, chemistry and biology", and there are only more than 95,000 enrollment plans for non-"physical and chemical double selection", of which there are only more than 77,000 plans for "pure liberal arts" candidates. According to the admission situation in Shandong this year, candidates have been basically divided into two categories, one is the candidates who have selected the "materialization", and the other is the candidates who have not been "materialized and double-selected".
"In previous years, the effective source of students for science, engineering, agriculture and medicine majors was candidates who chose physics or chemistry, or 'physics and chemistry' in a single subject. This year's effective students are almost all candidates who choose physics or chemistry, and those who choose physics or chemistry have been excluded, and they are not much different from ordinary liberal arts students in terms of major selection, and can only compete with full-text candidates for the already scarce liberal arts program. This leads to fewer effective students for science majors, while more students for liberal arts majors, and in the case of no big change in the enrollment plan, the admission line for science, engineering, agriculture and medicine majors will inevitably decline, and the admission line for liberal arts majors will inevitably rise. Industry insiders said. For example, the 2023 computer science major of Ocean University of China is limited to physics, and candidates can apply for this major with physics with two disciplines they are good at, even if it is two pure literature disciplines. This year, the major is limited to "materialization", and candidates who have taken the physics exam in a single subject have no chance to apply for the examination, and can only participate in the competition of more than 95,000 non-"materialization double selection" professional plans, and the fierce competition can be imagined.
Since the new college entrance examination, there has been a phenomenon of some candidates "avoiding science", and the proportion of candidates who choose "liberal arts" is high, resulting in more fierce competition in liberal arts majors. Xiong Bingqi, dean of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, said that there are many reasons for the high proportion of candidates who choose "liberal arts", and some schools and students pay too much attention to scores and are too utilitarian, believing that liberal arts majors are easy to learn and have high scores, which is the main reason for the high proportion of "liberal arts". In addition, some schools, students and parents still treat the new college entrance examination reform with the thinking of separate disciplines of arts and sciences, and the selection of physics is considered to be science students, and the selection of history is considered to be liberal arts students. Some schools organize students' subject selection based on existing teachers, rather than assigning teachers according to students' subject selection needs. The introduction of science courses requires greater investment in running schools, so some ordinary high schools prefer more students to choose liberal arts subjects. In other words, the conditions of high school also restrict students' choices.
Keep up with the direction of national policies, pay attention to hobbies and do a good job in career planning
The college entrance examination is not an isolated examination, it is a bridge between higher education and basic education, and plays a role in connecting the previous and the next. Downward, it almost determines the development pattern of high school education and even the entire basic education, and has played the role of a baton for a long time; Upward, it affects the talent training of colleges and universities, and to a certain extent, determines the talent training methods and training quality of colleges and universities. The original intention of the new college entrance examination is to guide students to learn each course well while fully developing their personality potential and subject expertise, and to give high school students the opportunity to develop their subject interests and specialties. In the actual implementation process, some schools and students are too focused on scores and ignore future choices and development. For example, in the past few years, some science and engineering majors have admitted some candidates who have selected "two arts and one science", and students have difficulties in learning, and the normal teaching of colleges and universities has also encountered great difficulties.
The guidelines can be said to be a refinement of the previous policies, and after the official implementation of the guidelines this year, the role of its baton will become more prominent, and the future admission situation will gradually stabilize. "At present, the most uncomfortable are the students who will take the college entrance examination next year, and they have almost no room for correction in their subject selection. But if it is not amended, the competition for liberal arts candidates will still be fierce next year. Industry insiders said.
How to truly implement the spirit of the new college entrance examination reform and give full play to its role in selecting and cultivating talents? In Xiong Bingqi's view, this is not just a matter for individual students, but a systematic project. It is necessary to strengthen investment in education, ensure sufficient material and human resources, and provide support for the transformation of basic education and educational concepts. "At present and for a period of time in the future, the mainland will continue to optimize and adjust the majors of colleges and universities, and set up a number of new engineering, new medicine, new agriculture, new liberal arts and other majors, so as to improve the matching degree between majors and social development and better serve economic and social development. Schools in the basic education section should deepen their understanding of the spirit of the new college entrance examination, fully protect students' autonomy in choosing subjects, and guide students to choose subjects scientifically and rationally according to social needs, which is the way to solve the problem. ”
The lack of awareness and ability of career planning also affects students' choice of subjects to a certain extent. Schools in the basic education section should continue to improve and strengthen the career education system, improve the effect of career planning education, improve students' ability of career planning, and better help students plan the direction of future career development. Candidates should also combine their interests, hobbies, and career development with national development, policy direction, and social needs, so as to plan for the long term and find the direction of future development.
For students who are about to enter the second year of high school, they should choose subjects carefully at this time. In the specific selection of subjects, the specific course selection requirements and admission data of college majors are also worthy of careful study by candidates. For example, the "Physics and Chemistry + 1 subject" subject selection combination can cover more than 90% of the majors, and students with high academic performance, strong logical thinking ability, and future plans to apply for science and engineering majors can focus on this combination. The coverage rate of the combination of non-"physical" subjects is basically about 50%, and the lowest coverage rate is the "biochemical" combination, with a professional coverage rate of about 45%.
At the same time, students' course selection should also be analyzed in combination with their future career planning, if candidates want to apply for clinical medicine and other majors, it is best to determine the combination as "physicochemical biology"; If candidates want to apply for military and public security colleges, it is best to have a combination of "materialization" or "politics" in the selection of subjects, so that they can relatively comprehensively cover the science majors or liberal arts majors of relevant colleges. In addition, candidates should also consider the enrollment plan of the relevant major, and the enrollment plan of the liberal arts major will be significantly less than the enrollment plan of the science major each year.
