If true, this is an erosion of educational equity in another dimension, and its harm may be no less than "buying points with money" and "exchanging rights for points".
"Portable multi-component gas ultraviolet field analyzer", which sounds tall and tall, actually appeared in the middle school science and technology competition? Recently, it was reported that in 2015, Liu Mouyang, who was still a junior high school student, won a number of provincial and national awards for this invention, and was admitted to Hefei Key High School 168 Middle School. His father is Liu Jianguo, president of the Hefei Institute of Physical Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the invention of Liu Mouyang is alleged to be highly consistent with a scientific research achievement in 2012 by the Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics (hereinafter referred to as the "Anguang Institute") of the Hefei Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in terms of name, working principle and appearance. At that time, Liu Jianguo served as the deputy director of the institute and the main completer of the project to which the scientific research results belonged. Liu Mouyang's classroom teacher at the time also confirmed that the invention was guided and helped by Liu Mouyang's father in the research process, "belonging to 'big hands holding small hands'".
↑ Liu Mouyang's invention device (left) is highly consistent with the appearance of An Guang's scientific research achievements device (right), according to the surging news.
At present, the Hefei Institute of Physical Sciences of the Chinese Academy of Sciences responded that it has organized personnel to investigate the matter, and the follow-up will timely feedback the results of the investigation to the society. The relevant competition organizing committee responded that the investigation has been launched, and if it is true, it will be handled in accordance with the rules of the competition.
Have middle school students taken the scientific research results of their father's unit as a stepping stone for further education and earned a valuable place for further education? In view of the relationship between Liu Mouyang's father and the scientific research results, this matter should not be self-examined and self-corrected, and it is hoped that the Chinese Academy of Sciences level and the local education department will jointly send personnel to investigate possible academic misconduct and "fraud in further education".
In fact, "learning from the second generation of spelling daddy", taking his father's scientific research achievements to win awards, engaging in improper competition, has happened before. For example, the "Research on the Function and Mechanism of C10orf67 in the Occurrence and Development of Colorectal Cancer" appeared in the Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition, which won the third prize of the 34th National Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition and the first prize of the 34th Yunnan Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition, and the researcher was a sixth-grade student. After the incident attracted widespread attention, Chen Yongbin, the father of the primary school student involved and a researcher at the Kunming Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, apologized and admitted that "excessive participation" in the project "caused a bad social impact", and his award was eventually revoked.
Taking professional scientific research results to compete in primary and secondary school science and technology competitions is equivalent to directly reducing dimensionality and cracking down, resulting in extremely serious unfair competition. On the one hand, there is a competition for primary and secondary school students, but on the other hand, it is the parents behind the "second generation", is such a selection competition still meaningful? Doesn't this turn into a naked daddy?
Let the parents of the researchers of the Chinese Academy of Sciences "catch the knife" The so-called scientific research competition completely deviates from the original intention of these primary and secondary school science and technology competitions, not only is it impossible to select good scientific researcher seedlings, but it becomes an academic fraud, so that the "first button" for children to enter the field of scientific research is crooked. This is not "big hands holding small hands", this is spelling daddy, because not every child has a "big hand" of "scientific father".
It should be seen that this is not a small problem of competition for primary and secondary school students, but behind it is related to the fairness of further education, whether ordinary children have a smooth upward path, involving the solidification of social classes, and is also a big problem related to social fairness.
Although the "second generation of students" is not like some "rich second generation" who directly use money to open the way and spend a lot of money to donate a "school director" to some overseas schools to get admission tickets, the problem of the "second generation of students" using their parents' research results as a stepping stone for further education still seriously corrupts the social atmosphere. Bacon said that "knowledge is power", in fact, knowledge may also be a kind of "power", if the scientific research results of the fathers can directly transform the "hard currency" in the process of children's rise, it may cause the identity of scholars to solidify, forming a monopoly of this specific class for high-quality educational resources.
Therefore, in recent years, some parents' research has become a phenomenon of "second generation" further education, which deserves high vigilance, which is an erosion of educational equity in another dimension, and its harm may be no less than "buying points with money" and "exchanging points for rights".
