问题     There is a growing tendency that most people are inclined to judge the quality of school education by referring to the students’ test scores and proportion of students entering higher school. As a result, most schools are more willing to lay emphasis on developing students’ test skills, rather than students’ personality and characters. Some people observe that when test-oriented education is in conflicts with quality-oriented education, the latter one will be scarified. What is your opinion? Should schools resort to test-oriented education to improve the promotion rate? Write an essay of about 400 words. You should supply an appropriate title for your essay.

答案 Test-oriented Education: Big NO! Although the concept of "quality-oriented education" has existed in China for more than a decade, the essence of it never seems to be understood or implemented. The recent incident happened in Yishui County in Shandong Province, where educators rush back to test-oriented education as soon as promotion rate falls, proves the difficulties quality-oriented education faces. As far as I am concerned, resorting to test-oriented education to improve the promotion rate neglects the essentials of education and would lead to the decay of education in China as a whole. First and foremost, test-oriented education counters with the essence of education. It is now universally accepted that the goal of education is cultivating people in order to make them well-informed, critical and rounded. In other words, education should help to foster better persons, not better scores. Test scores, however, only tells how well or badly students do in one single test. Although such scores are necessary for efficient evaluation, it is clear that too much emphasis on this highly partial and unreliable criterion won’t help to achieve the real goal of education. Educators should try to strike a balance between quality-oriented education and test-oriented education as well as attempt to come up with a more sensible and comprehensive evaluation system rather than thoughtlessly turning their students into learning machines in order to get a pretty promotion result. Secondly, resorting to test-oriented education, in fact, will lower the education level in China. While Chinese students are famous for their ability in mathematics and in memorizing things, they are notoriously weak when it comes to imagination, innovation and creativity. Years of test-oriented education have made Chinese students dull, stiff and highly inflexible. Facing practical problems, they don’t know how to think, analyze or come up with solutions since they are so often taught just to memorize things and write them down on exam papers. Educational researchers have already warned us that Chinese students lack competitiveness on international stage since they cannot adapt to the constantly changing conditions of contemporary society. If test-oriented education continues to pervade, it is not hard to predict that Chinese education will fall behind even further comparing with other countries. The gravity of this problem should never be underestimated. To conclude, resorting to test-oriented education to improve promotion rate is unwise because it neglects the essence of education and is harmful to the development of education in China as a whole.
