My Views on Examinations
I dare to say that no students like the tests or exams. Yet it is neccessary for them to take it as an evaluation of their studies. Therefore, from the past to present time, all the schools and colleges even the parents consider the student's grades are the criterion of their studies. I don't deny the exam's contributions in our life. First, it proves either the teacher or student how much they have learned, where do the students need to improve. Second, it serves as a stimulation for our study; since everyone tends to competite with others, and no one wants to be dropped behind. Third, exams strenghen our memory and prehension, it 's a good way for study.
But there are also some side affects for the students. In order to get a good grade, students are so nerves about the exams which really give them a lot of pressure. Look at the junior high school students, exams are their own life. Some students usually performs well at school, but once they are attending the significant exams, they are completely at a loss. This is why some students commit suicide due to the failing of the exam. On the other hand, the contents of the exams seems only for the grades or scores, they are not so much useful when one enter's their career fields.
Therefore, I personally think that the exam is not the only criterion of their studies. Maybe, we need to change some system of college entrance exam or other degree's exams by adding some percentage of integrate performance or presentation, instead of those written exams. Thus, the students might well develop their potentials without pressure. And if they can develop wholistically and practically, especially something benefit to their future work, such us how to deal with people, their moral ,emotional, psychological, and skillful development are very important, not only intellectual tests. |
