To test Han(考试为了啥)

考试为了啥
"Test, test, test, the teacher's magic," and this well-known nursery rhymes is not a Chinese specialty? Chinese school examinations, the examination has become difficult as conclusive.
 
Ask those in the body by the hundred China "chatter" of the students, their examination of the United States and China made the comparison test, it may surprise you.
 
Let us first talk about the test function.
 
Examination of the function should include at least three areas: teaching effectiveness testing, monitoring student learning, measure the level of knowledge and ability.
 
A reader write to me, talk in test into the school her son's bizarre experience. Little Jun (a pseudonym) in kindergarten, I am playing, is a happy boy. When the mother did not force children to learn math, literacy or something. Children in kindergarten when she wanted to play some more, until the school re-started. Who would have thought to elementary school, schools require kids to participate in entrance examinations, ranging from double-digit addition and subtraction to the stroke range of vocabulary. Jun do not understand double-digit addition and subtraction of small, do not know the word, and even do not know what is the exam. Papers on the innocent children in some random graffiti, finally did not pay "white" paper. Results Children "quiz" lost in the elections, the school refused to admit a small steep on the grounds that no on-line results. Readers with a funny joke is to write to me, but I laugh, and my heart heavy, sad for the children ... ...
 
Ore to the United States soon entered the preschool, primary school before, but also experienced a entrance examination. That should be the ore through the first "exam" - Metropolitan Reading Test.
 
On the entrance examination, we know nothing. On parents, teachers took the examination table ore, ore to our analysis shown in the language of the strengths and weaknesses. Ore deposits, first came to the United States was less than a year, used when talking in your sleep or Chinese, all still in the adaptation phase. Ore deposits in that the examination showed significant language gap. According to the analysis of test scores, school specially sent an English teacher to ore deposits, a person of small classes. A year later, ore deposits of the English leaps and bounds. First grade teacher Mrs. Mill ore deposits of the evaluation is: "very beautiful writing, excellent spelling and reading."
 
The same entrance examination, the child of a shut out, a lack of help kids find and try to help children progress. These two little stories reflect American ideas of education and examination of different concepts. Chinese school children to test, in order to discover the problem and eliminate it. American school children for examination, the purpose is to identify problems, improvement. Exam itself is only detection, not out of function. Detection is only a means, as the face of the test results, we can have many purposes: identify problems and improvement; discover talent, selection of; that expertise to develop the ... ... of course, also include the purpose of eliminating the inferior merit. But that is not the function of examinations, tests only show the results. As for how to deal with these results, nothing to do with the examination function.
 
When we test the teaching of "one" means to become the only purpose of the education, our education will become out of education, rather than people-oriented - to foster a fundamental human quality education.
 
Our question is: to detect and eliminate confused, and even testing out to replace. If we say that the purpose of education is to make the quality of each individual potential have been fully excavated, the potential is given full play, then the test is clearly to help individuals develop the detection tool. When the examination into the machine and eliminating the inferior merit examination in the function of education to be alienated.
