新加坡按科目编班教学改革述评

A Review of the Reform on Subject-based Banding in Singapore

新加坡于1981年开始将学生按照成绩分流到不同水平的班级,学习不同的课程。在这种分流制下,新加坡培养了大量优秀人才,但多次分流考试也引发了学生的行为与心理问题。2014年起,新加坡开展按科目编班的试点,学生根据自己的能力修读适合自己水平的科目,改革试点取得了较好成效。2024年起,新加坡将全面实施按科目编班,为中学的每个科目区分难度等级,并改革小学毕业会考评分系统、启动新的全国统一考试,以支持每个学生获得最适合自己的教育,进而促进教育公平。

Singapore began streaming students into different levels of classes and offering different curricula based on their scores in 1981.While this streaming system has produced a significant number of talented individuals,it has also led to behavioral and psychological issues among students due to muliple streaming tests.In 2014,Singapore initiated a Subject-based Banding pilot program,allowing students to study subjects according to their abilities,which proved to be effective.Starting in 2024,Singapore will implement Full Subject-based Banding,diferentiating dificulty levels for each subject in secondary schools.Addionally,reformns will be made to the Primary School Leaving Examination assessment system,and a new national common exam will be introduced.This will support each student in obtaining the education that best suits their needs,thereby promoting educational equity.
