论教育与考试

On education and examination

"考试"在其产生的初始阶段常常是推荐、选拔、任用官吏、考核其绩效的一种手段,为中国所首创。中国的考试制度因其存在的科学性、公平性、正义性为西方国家广泛采用,并成为中国贡献给世界的宝贵文化遗产。考试自从应用于教育领域,就对学校教育产生了重大影响,甚至左右教育行动。考试是一把双刃剑,科学、合理地使用考试手段,可增进教育实效,促进教育健康发展;反之,就会与教育宗旨相背离,冲击正常教育活动,抵消教育效果。不合理的考试制度,必然给教育带来深度伤害。实施素质教育也好,开展课程改革也好,不改革考试制度,所有的教育设想很难实现功效。因此,建立适合教育的考试制度,改变教育适应考试的状态,是当前推进教育改革的又一个关键。

Examination was used for word was first created and it appeared recommending, selecting, appointing first in China. This system has been and assessing officials when the used by western countries widely because of its scientificalness, fairness and justice and becomes precious cultural remains provided by China. Since examination was used in the field of education it plays an important role in school education and even control the education activity. However, examination is a rapier. When using it scientifically and reasonably, it will improve the effects of education and healthy development and deviating from education purpose, breaking the educational activities and offset the effects of education if not. Thus, unreasonable examination system will bring severe harm to education and all the education aims will fail to realize if we don＇ t reform the examination system no matter when we carry out the quality education or curriculum reform. Therefore, setting up a reasona- ble examination system and adapting education to the examination state is the key point in carrying out the ed-ucation reform.
