Sports is receiving more and more attention.
Not long ago, the "Sports Law of the People's Republic of China (Revised Draft)" voted to be passed at the 35th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 13th National People's Congress clearly stipulates that sports subjects will be included in the scope of junior high and high school academic achievement examinations and will come into effect on January 1, 2023. It has been a foregone conclusion that sports has been officially included in the scope of junior and senior high school academic achievement tests.
Recently, a survey conducted by the Social Survey Center of China Youth Daily and the Questionnaire Network on 2,008 parents showed that high school sports scores were included in the academic achievement test, 86.7% of the parents interviewed expressed support, and 71.9% of the parents interviewed believed that it could effectively increase the importance of parent-school students' sports. How to formulate scientific scoring standards, whether it will increase students' academic burden, and how to ensure the fairness of the exam are the three major issues that the parents interviewed are concerned about.
Whether it is a institutional arrangement fixed in the form of law or in the general perception of parents, sports have indeed received unprecedented attention. However, behind the attention of sports, there is a reality that is not very pleasant: that is, the physical health level of teenagers is really worrying.
data shows that the 2021 National Student Physical Health Standard test achievement rate is only 33%. In this context, the physical health of young people has become an important issue that is generally concerned by society and particularly concerned by parents, and it is easy to build a consensus on paying attention to sports. Including sports scores in junior and senior high school academic achievement tests should be one of the "achievements" under the consensus on attaching importance to sports.
The reason why the results of students' physical fitness level tests are so ugly is largely due to the past light sports and emphasis on cultural examinations. Although parents all know that this trend is not conducive to students' physical health, it is almost impossible for parents to support their children in the fierce competition in the exam to give up more time to physical exercise, and therefore lag behind other children in cultural classes.
now includes physical education scores in the scope of academic achievement tests, which significantly enhances the status of the physical education subject and is also beneficial to free parents from the "prisoner's dilemma" of whether they should let their children go more physical exercise, so as to make students' physical exercises from "consensus" to "reality".
However, once any subject falls into the scope of the exam, it is inevitable that it will fall into the stalemate of "exam-oriented thinking". How to formulate scientific scoring standards, will it increase students' academic burden, and how to ensure fairness in the exam? The three major issues that parents interviewed actually show that the result that parents care about is still score.
Sports in school education is not a sports competition, but an important part of quality education , which is actually the most inconvenient to quantify by scores. You don’t even have to pay attention to the results, but focus more on the process and pay attention to whether the physical education subject setting can achieve the goal of enhancing students’ physical fitness and improving their health.
If you only focus on scores and results, sports may become a new project and link in the "college entrance examination competition". It is not only destined to increase students' academic burden, but may also be buying a box and returning a bead, and even drinking poison to quench thirst. For example, many parents are keen to sign up for their children’s off-campus training classes and buy “magic tools” and “magic medicines” for their children’s physical examinations. This quick mentality of temporarily cramming is contrary to the original intention of enhancing students' physical fitness through physical education, and may not bring health but deeper harm to children.
It is obvious that sports are officially included in the scope of junior and senior high school academic achievement tests, but the test-oriented mentality and test-oriented thinking must be abandoned. This cannot be based solely on the individual rationality and awareness of parents, but rather on the design of the system. As relevant experts said, if you just put sports in the subjects of the examination and examination without an appropriate evaluation system, it is easy to make sports subjects utilitarian and deviate from the original intention of enhancing students' physical fitness.
Therefore, it is very important to establish a scientific and reasonable evaluation system. This key issue is the anxiety and concern of parents, and it also determines whether the reform measure of sports inclusion in academic achievement test is successful. hopes that relevant departments can conduct careful research and come up with proper measures to prevent reform from deviating and successfully realize the original intention of reform to promote the all-round development of young people.
