Strictly control the scope and scale of school examinations, improve the performance requirements of cultural courses, and promote classified admissions for classified examinations... The Ministry of Education recently issued guidance on further strengthening and improving the enrollment of art professional examinations in ordinary colleges and universities, which has attracted widespread attention from the society. What changes will the series of new regulations bring to the art test? How does it affect parents and candidates? The reporter conducted an investigation and interview.
Optimize the layout of majors: some majors will stop enrollment
In recent years, in pursuit of multi-disciplinary development, some colleges and universities have competed to open art majors with relatively high tuition standards and lower thresholds, blindly expanding art majors The scale, although objectively increases the choice for students to apply for the exam, but due to the inaccurate positioning of the school, the scale of enrollment and professional settings are out of touch with social needs.
It is understood that some schools follow the trend to open art majors, but the teachers are relatively weak, professional and academic are not up to the standard and high, and it is difficult for students to find employment. The survey shows that in 2020, the proportion of art undergraduate enrollment in the total undergraduate enrollment in the country is second only to engineering and management, ranking third. But judging from the initial employment situation, there is a clear gap between its overall employment situation and other majors.
"Popular art exams, unpopular employment, this sentence reflects to a certain extent that the art admissions setting must be scientifically adjusted from the perspective of talent cultivation and sustainable development." Northeast Yucai Beihong Art School Professional Department Director Wang Hailing said that the cultivation of artistic talents needs macro-control in the discipline setting from entrance to exit.
In this regard, the opinion puts forward the promotion of the characteristic development of the college art major, clarifies the positioning of talent selection and training, optimizes the professional layout of art disciplines, and reduces or stops enrollment of majors with insufficient social demand and low-quality training.
According to the person in charge of the relevant department of the Ministry of Education, this requires universities to highlight their school-running characteristics, build a selection and training system for artistic talents in line with the school's positioning and characteristics, and strive to select and cultivate artistic talents with both virtue and art. On the other hand, it is necessary to closely integrate social needs, comprehensively consider school-running conditions, faculty, and employment status of graduates, optimize the setting of art majors, and rationally arrange enrollment plans.
classification test: full coverage of provincial exams, "slimming" of school exams
For a long time,Art test corruption cases occur from time to time, among which the school test is not open and transparent, teaching and test are not separated, and the power of recruitment and examination is too concentrated.
put forward the opinion, vigorously promote the art professional classification examination. Actively expand the scope of the provincial-level unified examination, basically achieve full coverage of the provincial-level unified examination for arts majors by 2024, and continuously improve the level and quality of the provincial-level unified examination. Strictly control the scope and scale of school examinations, establish and improve the admission and exit mechanism for colleges and universities, scientifically and rationally determine the form of school examinations, and strictly control the scale of on-site examinations. Starting from 2024, there will be no more inter-provincial school test sites. Improve the selection mechanism of assessors and optimize the composition of assessors. Strengthen the standardized management of examination organization and strictly prevent examination fraud.
Many art educators believe that expanding the coverage of provincial examinations and narrowing the scope of school examinations is a powerful measure to standardize art examinations and promote their fairness and scientificity. Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts Dean Lu Xiaobo said that since the large-scale implementation of the provincial unified examination in 2010, the unified examination has played a very important role in regulating art examinations, forming judgments, and saving costs.
Northeast Yucai Beihong Art School's first-year freshman's parents, Yu He, believes that improved examination methods can reduce the number of times students go to other places for examinations, which reduces the burden on candidates and parents.
For some high-level professional art schools, school exams are still indispensable. Lu Xiaobo said that the provincial exam and the school exam are by no means antagonistic, but complement each other and each have their own strengths. The former to a large extent ensures the national standardization of art exams, and balances regional development from the perspective of education. The latter ensures the diversity of talent admissions.
Improve cultural performance: Reversing the tendency of "emphasizing professionalism and negligence of culture" Candidates’ cultural performance requirements are relatively low. At the same time, many art candidates devote a lot of energy to professional courses and neglect the study of cultural courses. Some people equate art candidates with “easy candidates”, and even some parents and candidates use it as a “shortcut for further studies”. ", I feel that my academic performance is not good before I start to study and apply for related majors.
The opinions clearly put forward the requirements for improving cultural performance. All provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) are required to adapt measures to local conditions, classify and delimit, and gradually increase the minimum control scores for admission of cultural courses in the college entrance examination for art majors on the basis of the existing cultural course performance requirements.
In the classified admission of classified examinations, the requirements for cultural course scores are also particularly emphasized. For example, for art majors in art history, drama, film and literature, etc., the candidates are directly selected based on the candidates' college entrance examination scores and the comprehensive quality evaluation of the candidates. On the basis of the minimum control scores for admission of art majors in the province (autonomous region, municipality) and the provincial unified examination results, the candidates will be admitted in parallel based on the comprehensive scores of the candidates’ college entrance examination cultural class scores and the provincial unified examination scores. In principle, the proportion of cultural subjects in the college entrance examination shall not be less than 50%.
"This is a reminder to candidates and parents. It is because the cultural class is not good to choose, or if you really love this major, students and parents need to make a more careful choice." Wang Hailing said, "Art and culture complement each other. In the long run, those who can continue to develop better must be students who are good in both cultural and professional courses. In the next step of training, the school will pay more attention to both cultural and professional courses, promote systematic classification, and set up scientific preparations in accordance with the actual situation of students. Plan to improve students with different needs.”
Lu Xiaobo believes that “art is a discipline that combines science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Any aspect of shortcomings will cause the'barrel effect'.” (Reporter: Hu Hao, Zheng Tianhong, Wang Ying, Editor: Hao Jing)
