Study On The Reformation Of Forms And Contents Of College Entrance Examination

In China, College Entrance Exam (CEE) system has got much attention from public, not only because it is an important task of education reformation, but also because it has huge effects on the society. The reformation is both important and difficult since people know the CEE system from its forms and contents at the very beginning. It is widely disputed and hard to come to an agreement. This dissertation mainly focuses on the macroscopical aspect of CEE organization. The objective is to discuss the best possible scheme of the reformation of the forms and contents of CEE, taking into account of the interest of the country, society, colleges, students, and students'parents.This dissertation summarizes the evolvement of the forms and contents of CEE in China and several other countries. Comparison is made among these countries. This dissertation also discusses the conflict of interest among the interest groups and its effect on the forms and the contents of CEE. In the meanwhile, the fairness of the forms and the contents of CEE is analyzed based on exam scores from several provinces and colleges.The main conclusions drawn from this study are as follows:1.CEE system has got so much attention and has long been disputed due to its effects on the education and society. The unification of CEE can not meet the requirement of the development of education and society. Diversification becomes necessary and practical.2.The government, colleges, middle schools, students, and students'parents are the main interest groups during the current CEE reformation. The reformation of the system should focus on the conflict of the interest among these groups and how to balance their interest.3.Fairness and scientificness of recruiting students should be the goal of the reformation of CEE system. The form of CEE has gradually diversified and focuses on the students'ability, all-around development instead of knowledge. However, the fairness of recruiting students can't be ignored since it is the main concern to public when the reformation of CEE is inevitably about resource distribution.
