Analysis And Study Of NCEE In Hunan, Recent Years

Examination is a basic method of educational assessment and measurement as well as an important approach of selection and promotion. After the establishment of national education strategy, National College Entrance Examination (NCEE) turns to be a standard measurement of students and also gives guidance to the educational enforcement and reform. Since 2001, the integration three NCEE courses of physics, chemistry, and biology into one examination paper has been a new attempt of NCEE reform. As a point view of a Senior Three biology teacher, this paper aims at analyzing the knowledge distribution and characteristics of the biology section of Hunan NCEE in recent years. Through combing the students' weakness behaving the text paper with the teaching practice, the author draws some conclusions on promoting the biology teaching. Meanwhile, some suggestions and expectations are made for the design and formulation of questions in biology NCEE.Accordingly, in terms of literature research, survey and measurement, and summarization, the article studies the biology papers of Hunan NCEE. Through reviewing the history biology in NCEE, the paper tries to help us compare the background and characteristics of biology course in several different periods. In addition by analyzing the examination programme and the biology NCEE papers, the thesis expounds the requirements of biology examination to students. Moreover, the knowledge distribution and characteristics of Biology papers of Hunan NCEE (2001-2005) are put forward and should be grasped.According to the sampling analysis of the biology NCEE papers provided by Hunan Province Examination Bureau and the teacher groupsof grading the NCEE papers, the article explores the students' inadequacy in answering questions. On the basis of the teaching and learning practice, methods of teaching improvement are put forward as follows: First, knowledge concerning all the three courses (physics, chemistry, and biology) should be stressed. Second, experiments should be high valued. Students should be taught to do or design experiments standardly, meticulously and scientifically. Third, scientific guides should be conducted to improve students' examination scores, which include two parts: scientific management of examination time;the ability of understanding the questions and the expressions of the answers. Fourth, the standard biology language should be highly emphasized;also enough attention should be attached to students' language expression and logical thinking. At last, some advice is put forward, such as the design of the synthetical test questions, degree of difficulty of the test questions, the test points on scientific inquiry ability. Standard and coverage of the test questions is also mentioned.
