The division of arts and sciences has always been controversial, but as an objective existence at present, it can be said that it is the first major choice faced by high school students, and the road of students' development will change from now on. The following are more reasonable ways to choose arts and sciences:
First, put an end to blind subject selection
Blind subject selection mainly includes the following categories:
(1) "One-sided", which subject is selected according to which subject has more people;
(2) According to the traditional concept, you should choose which subject is good;
(3) The study attitude is not good, and you should choose which subject you think is easy to study;
(4) Find a way for work prematurely, and choose which subject you think is good for making money;
(5) Emotional impulse, choosing a subject for a good friend or reluctant to part with the original class group and the class teacher, thinking that you will get along with someone and choose it accordingly (including puppy love factors);
(6) Choose according to parents' requirements.
Second, suit yourself and avoid blindly following.
Students in senior high school basically have a certain tendency of professional ability. When choosing arts and sciences, we must proceed from our own reality, combine our own characteristics and interests, and choose carefully. Many students follow blindly when they are placed in classes. Seeing that many students in their own classes report their reasons, they also follow suit, forming a phenomenon of "following the crowd". Some students and their good friends discuss to report to the same subject so that they can stay in the same class. These two phenomena are common.
Third, the choice of arts and sciences should be realistic.
Due to the social atmosphere of attaching importance to science over literature, many parents have a certain social bias when guiding students to divide their subjects into arts and sciences. They have no vision for development. They only ask their children to choose science according to the current enrollment situation and employment situation in colleges and universities. They think that as long as they choose science, the security coefficient of their children's future will be greatly improved. What's more, they think that only by choosing science can there be a way out in the future. These understandings are obviously wrong.
If you don't choose your own subjects to get into a university, your child may not have much development potential in areas he doesn't like in the future. What's more sad is that children don't have much happiness in their future work, especially those children who are interested in literature and are forced to learn by their parents. Their future work will be boring because of lack of interest and motivation. And how many parents have considered these? It can be asserted that the results of blind selection regardless of the actual situation can only backfire in the end.
Fourth, we should pay attention to several misunderstandings
First, the misunderstanding of attaching importance to reason over literature:
Once upon a time, there was a popular saying that "learning mathematics and physics well is not afraid to travel all over the world". Affected by this, when choosing arts and sciences, excellent students rarely care about arts, and only those who can't afford science will enter arts classes. Politics class and history class are regarded as relaxation classes and rest classes, and they are given a cold shoulder. In fact, this practice is unreasonable.
The lack of common sense of literature and history and the imbalance of spiritual world of many college students can not be ignored. The comprehensive quality of the Young Singers Competition reflects the extreme lack of knowledge of some people's literature and history. Around many problems in the entertainment circle and football world, it shows that the cultural quality and spiritual quality of a generation are continuously abandoned for all to see. It is absolutely impossible for a person to achieve great things without enough cultural background. Yang Zhenning's achievement lies in his blending of arts and sciences. Liberal arts and science are equally important to the growth of individuals and the contribution of the country, and there must be no idea of attaching importance to reason over literature.
Some parents think that good young people should study science and liberal arts because their grades can't keep up. Others think that girls should study liberal arts, but boys should study science. In fact, there is no distinction between liberal arts and science. If boys are more suitable to study science and girls are more suitable to study liberal arts, it is the result of considering the success rate of the whole group. As a parent, you don't need to pay attention to the group, just care about whether your child is suitable for reading literature or science.
Some people think that liberal arts knowledge is not widely used in society, so they pay little attention to liberal arts knowledge learning, but it is not. According to the relevant statistics and forecasts of the Ministry of Personnel, 2 1 4 talents will be urgently needed in China at the beginning of the century: tax accountants (accounting), computer system analysts (computers), computer software engineers (engineering), environmental engineers (environmental protection), Chinese medicine practitioners (health care), brokers (consulting services), claim appraisers (insurance), and so on. Professional public relations personnel (public relations), business service representatives (sales promotion), biochemists (scientific research) and psychologists (social work).
According to rough statistics, it is not difficult to find that liberal arts and majors related to liberal arts account for more than half of the above-mentioned 14 talents. In a sense, the ratio of liberal arts and science students reflects the level of social development. However, other aspects of the country, such as physics research, chemistry research, innovative science research and biology research, all need high-quality talents in science, so the ratio of liberal arts and science is close to 1 ratio 1, and the development of liberal arts and science is the basis for measuring the comprehensive strength of the country. Therefore, liberal arts and science are equally important, and we must not have a bad atmosphere of social partiality.
In fact, many majors in many schools have been reported in both arts and sciences, and universities are advocating large-scale enrollment, so there is no need to define the boundaries, so don't worry too much about this issue. What's more, for every student, you can only apply for one university, regardless of arts or science, and the probability of your further study is 100%.
Second, if the liberal arts scores are good, they will be reported to the liberal arts and science.
If you set the study goal of high school as getting into college, I think this strategy may not necessarily be the best policy. Everyone has learned the story of "Tian Ji Horse Racing". If the liberal arts are good, you may not be able to show your good advantages in liberal arts. On the contrary, if you study liberal arts well, you will at least take advantage of math, so it is full of uncertainties. I always feel that students in counties full of humanistic atmosphere can't take college entrance examination as the only goal of high school study, but we should aim at "learning and asking for knowledge". Students should not be confused by superficial achievements when choosing subjects. We should take it carefully.
Third, go to the liberal arts if your grades are not good.
It's an escape mentality. Just think, your study is a problem now. Can you learn well if you change your subject? If a student with normal intelligence studies hard, he is sure to learn well. The reason why the grades are not good is generally that there are problems in learning attitude, learning habits, learning time and learning methods. It is more important to find out the reasons and solve the problems than to simply start over in a different environment.
About the study of liberal arts. People's prejudice against liberal arts mainly lies in seeing it as a rote learning thing, but in fact, for those students who are better, after learning it, their understanding of many things will go beyond the level of ordinary people. If you ask Hu Shi, Li Dazhao and Cai Yuanpei if the liberal arts are rote, they certainly don't think so. Memorizing is necessary and important, but after memorizing, you must learn to master it. The three subjects of history and geography are essentially a family. After mastery, they will learn very well, and they will involve thinking and solving some practical problems in the current society, and their own understanding is deepening. Therefore, liberal arts is also a lively subject, and in a sense, its wisdom is higher than that of science.
Facing the present, students with poor science foundation should choose liberal arts, because the foundation of liberal arts is easy to make up, for example, the liberal arts in senior one can be made up during the holiday, and even the political, historical and geographical subjects may be made up in senior three, but it is more difficult to make up the foundation of science.
4. Betting among classmates
If you fail an examination, choose liberal arts or science. Although the phenomenon is less, it still needs attention.
In 2003, a classmate Tan and a junior high school classmate Shen in the north of our school were in their first year of high school. Two good friends with equal grades agreed who would study science if he passed physics. As a result, Tan chose liberal arts, and Shen chose science. After two years of college entrance examination, Tan was admitted to Peking University (successfully graduated in 2007 and entered the company of the first richest woman in China), but Shen failed to pass the exam two years later. In 2004, she went to our school to study in liberal arts and entered the undergraduate program. Five, how to choose the arts and science?
After a lot of investigation and analysis and interviews with many teachers, we have summarized the following points (including the opinions of teachers and top students in Grade Two and Grade Three):
1, interest. Interest is the greatest motivation for learning, and interest is the first premise regardless of the selection of essays and theories. For example, Hao Yu, the champion of liberal arts in the 200 1 year college entrance examination, said in an interview: "My strength is science, but I loved liberal arts since I was a child, and I kept it until high school, so I chose liberal arts and achieved success." Therefore, if you are interested in a certain aspect in your life, pay close attention to it, or have more energy when attending a certain subject, you can consider choosing this subject. In short, it must be right to always put interest first.
2. Specialty. Specialty is the propellant of learning. It will make your study handy and get ahead of others in the competition, which is an important basis for the choice of arts and sciences. So how do you find your own specialty (talent)? If you feel particularly good about a subject, or get better results in the same time than other subjects, or get the same or better results in a small amount of time as other sciences spend more time, if some of your own specialties are closely related to a subject, it shows that you have the specialty and ability to learn this subject. You should consider which subject can better play and promote the development of your specialty.
3. Achievements. Achievement is the most practical basis for this choice. Therefore, it is very important to know the exact situation of your grades in various subjects. Teacher Zhou, a political group, said: It is very necessary for students to look up their scores in all subjects, as well as the city-wide ranking of their scores in literature and science, and make a concrete analysis and comparison to see which subject they are more competitive and the possible ranking in the city and even the whole province in the future. Moreover, we should pay special attention to the division of subjects by three kolas and understand the vital role of these three subjects in the choice of arts and sciences.
Chinese: as the basis of learning in all subjects, it is closely related to each subject. In contrast, Chinese has a greater connection with liberal arts, so Chinese is better, and liberal arts is slightly better than science. However, if science is better than literature, there is an advantage in choosing science, because most science students are not strong in Chinese, so good Chinese can improve their competitiveness by one grade. (Comments from teachers of Chinese Language Group)
Mathematics: The main subjects of liberal arts and science are equivalent to Chinese in promoting competitiveness, but science has higher requirements for mathematics. Of course, mathematics also plays an important role in solving some problems in liberal arts, such as geographical temperature and sun height. (Comments from the math teacher)
English: Although its status is equivalent to that of language and mathematics in high school, it is the highest in college. No matter what you study, English is a necessary and compulsory subject. Good English scores can make you choose liberal arts and sciences.
4. Ideal. Everyone has an ideal, and it may be your goal. Then choosing a subject close to your ideal will promote the study of this subject. For example, if you want to be an entrepreneur, the liberal arts will be closer to this ideal, and you may be more active and proactive in learning the liberal arts, and your academic performance may be better.
Reading literature and science has a great influence on everyone's future volunteers. Because now, although some majors are both liberal arts and sciences, many students are enrolled separately. Imagine what career you will be in the future. For example, if you like literature, want to be a reporter or editor in the future, or are interested in politics and economy, and want to go into politics or study economy in the future, you generally choose liberal arts. Those who are interested in natural science or science and technology and want to be engineers or technicians in the future generally choose science.
5. society. Observe and analyze the social trends and understand the social demand for talents, because the choice of arts and sciences is not only to do well in the college entrance examination, but also to make plans for your future and lay a good foundation in the long run.
In a word, every student should make a careful analysis according to his own actual situation, and never make a wrong choice because of some bad objective reasons, which has been a mistake all his life. We can't cite such an example.
Science: Science students in senior high schools are divided into two categories when they volunteer: science and engineering. It is what universities collectively call science and engineering. Science is a general term for natural science, engineering and technology, agriculture and forestry science and medical science, including science, engineering, agriculture and medicine. Candidates who apply for science can be admitted to science, engineering, agriculture, medicine and other disciplines.
Liberal arts: economics: economics, international economy and trade, finance, finance.
Management: business administration, marketing, accounting, financial management, human resource management, tourism management, administrative management, public enterprise management, labor and social security.
There are also law, sociology, Chinese language, teaching Chinese as a foreign language, journalism, advertising, psychology and applied psychology.
