My Views on Examination
Nowadays the examination is used as a chief means of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject in most colleges and universities. Although it is efficient, its side effects are also enormous.
On the one hand, examinations lower the standards of teaching. Since teachers are often judged by examination results, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques. No subjects can be taught successfully if treating exam as a gole . On the other hand, the most undesirable effect is that examinations encourage bad study habits. A examination is not the only criterion for driving the students to memorize mechanically, but to think creatively instead.
In fact, few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to the students’ academic development. If that is the case, why cannot we make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than examinations?
考試我的看法
如今,考試被用來(lái)作為一種主要的手段,決定一個(gè)學(xué)生是否成功或不掌握一個(gè)特定的主題,在大多數(shù)高校。雖然它是有效的,其副作用也是巨大的。
一方面,考試降低了教學(xué)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。由于教師往往根據(jù)考試結(jié)果來(lái)判斷,他們是減少訓(xùn)練的學(xué)生在考試技術(shù)。沒(méi)有人可以教成功如果治療考試為目標(biāo)。另一方面,最不受歡迎的作用是考試鼓勵(lì)學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣不好?荚嚥⒉皇峭苿(dòng)學(xué)生機(jī)械地記憶的標(biāo)準(zhǔn),而是創(chuàng)造性地思考。
事實(shí)上,我們中很少有人承認(rèn)考試能對(duì)學(xué)生的學(xué)術(shù)發(fā)展起到非常重要的貢獻(xiàn)。如果是這樣的話,為什么我們不能做出改變,設(shè)計(jì)一些比考試更有效、更可靠的東西呢?
