我国硕士研究生入学考试制度中的结构性缺陷及对策研究

Systemic Defects of Graduate Examination for Admission into Master Degree in China and Improving Policies

从结构主义教育观的视角,剖析了目前我国硕士研究生入学考试制度中所存在的弊端:初试内容僵化、复试作用薄弱;过于重视专业系统理论知识的笔试技能考核,忽视考生的实践经历、创新能力、人文素质、心理素质等方面的测试。针对这些问题,提出了如下应对措施:改变入学考试的时间及内容安排;鼓励考生基于自己的科研兴趣来选择参加复试的高校和专业;以更灵活的方式考核考生的专业基础知识水平;重视考生的社会实践经历,加大其在最终决定录取结果的众多条件中的权重;增加考生心理素质的测试。

The graduate examination for admission into master degree in China is investigated systemically in a structuralistic view. It is found that the preliminary exam has gotten into a rut and the re-exam is poor in distinguishing a talented candidate from the rest. The whole exam system emphasizes unduly the theoretic knowledge that a candidate is going to major and his/her marks that are just gotten in written exam, but it overlooks his/her experience in practice, ability in creativity, attainment of basic humane studies and test of psychological traits all those are what the existing exam system lacks. Some policies are therefore suggested to improve the existing exam system, i.e. , change the number of exams each year and subjects in exam; encourage a candidate to select his/her major and university on the basis of his own interest; take more flexible modes to examine the knowledge really grasped; make much of candidate＇s experience through social practice, which should be accented by weighting the relevant mark in the evaluation for enrollment. In addition, all candidates should be tested psychologically.
