Debate contest of arts and sciences (examples are urgently needed! )。

Because the society needs people with all-round development, although they can major in some subjects after division, they may find that what they want to do is different from what they chose at the beginning, which affects their enthusiasm for work. Therefore, if we don't divide subjects, we can master all aspects of knowledge, and in any case, it will not affect ourselves. We sometimes find that our art and science have bad subjects. You can learn from each other if you don't divide your subjects.

Liberal arts is an invisible giant, manipulating the fate of high school students. Many students and parents are walking on thin ice: once they choose the wrong direction, they will delay their lives. Under the command of the baton of the college entrance examination, any high school student must make a choice. Choosing a branch means choosing the future and destiny.

There has been a long-standing debate about the division of arts and sciences: some people agree with it and some condemn it. Divide or not? What is the reason? According to the results of an online survey, 60% of netizens suggested canceling the division of arts and sciences, 30% opposed it, and 10% didn't care.

Looking back 1977, the college entrance examination was resumed, and arts and sciences were divided into three decades. "Learning literature or science" has made countless students, parents and schools in China suffer a lot. The long-term separation of arts and sciences in senior high school and college entrance examination has had obvious negative effects in real life.

Zhu Yongxin, a deputy to the National People's Congress, severely condemned the existing system of separating liberal arts from subjects, which has greatly harmed the majority of senior high school students. No matter from the perspective of students' affordability or educational fairness, the division of arts and sciences is essentially a "power" policy for students.

The choice of subjects is beyond the ability of senior high school students. Sixteen-and seventeen-year-old high school students have shallow social experience, low ability to distinguish right from wrong and lack self-knowledge. They can't make a correct judgment on "learning literature or learning theory", so the so-called voluntary choice is actually a right that they can't effectively exercise. Faced with the division of subjects, it is natural for students to blindly follow suit. At the same time, the division of arts and sciences has also brought great psychological pressure and study pressure to senior high school students, which has bred various psychological and social problems. Because of their involuntary choice of subjects, they will inevitably complain about the decomposition "power" of high school after many problems such as failing in the college entrance examination, incompatible interests, and employment difficulties in the future. This is undoubtedly unfavorable to the growth of students.

The system of separating arts and sciences is also a kind of "power" that deprives students of the right to receive fair education in arts and sciences. The long-term division of arts and sciences leads to the unhealthy structure of senior high school students in China: the premature division of arts and sciences leads to the students of science no longer reading classics, narrow knowledge and lack of humanistic spirit; Liberal arts students gradually get away from and dilute the rigorous scientific thinking training and scientific spirit training. Dividing subjects seriously deprives students of the right to receive education fairly, seriously restricts students' pursuit of higher education, and the improvement of people's comprehensive quality has become an empty talk. The result of the division of arts and sciences completely violates its original intention, the special potential of students has not been well exerted, and the talent resources have not been scientifically and effectively allocated at all.

Most people who support the division of arts and sciences are in middle schools.

"It is normal for students to have deviations in their hobbies. According to our statistics, 50% to 60% of high school students are partial subjects. So we think that arts and sciences should be divided into disciplines. "Teacher Qin, deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office of Port Middle School in Taizhou City, Jiangsu Province, said:" Now most colleges and universities recruit students by subject, so high school subjects are also to connect with universities. "

"The division of arts and sciences is the general trend. Because in high school, students' learning expertise and interest tendency have already appeared. Some of them are good at arts and some are good at science. Students choose to focus on liberal arts or science according to their own characteristics and future development direction, which will help to concentrate and lay the foundation for future development. " A middle school principal in Nanjing stressed.

Obviously, the middle school education department and schools at all levels are the implementers of this "power" policy, although it is increasingly difficult to promote the division of subjects in high schools. However, schools are still playing an unpleasant role as executioners, because according to the survey, high school students with partial subjects account for 50% to 60% of the total, which shows that if high school students are not educated in different subjects, the success rate of college entrance examination and the enrollment rate of schools will inevitably be affected. Therefore, despite all kinds of obstacles and difficulties, educational institutions and schools all over the country will still hold guarantees, despite their reluctance.

But dealing with contradictions, blindly covering up and delaying can't solve the problem. In the face of strong social condemnation and public pressure, local education departments have slightly "acted". From this, people can see that the new policies for college entrance examination, which have been introduced one after another, are actually just irrelevant measures to slow down the troops, only to alleviate the embarrassing situation of the current contradiction between arts and sciences, and have not really touched the essence of the division system. On the contrary, in the face of "harsh" accusers, the "slack" and "perfunctory" of local education departments have made people feel disgusted, and objectively they have been reviled because of the rapid reform of the college entrance examination.

Most of the opposition arts and sciences are universities.

With the acceleration of the marketization process, more and more education experts and people in the society have found that too fine a major is not conducive to the purpose of education itself, which leads to the narrow knowledge of college students and is difficult to meet the market demand for compound talents. When we saw the joke that "the liberal arts students don't know who wrote the Origin of Species" and "the science students think that La Traviata is China's play", people began to reflect deeply: on campus, students can forgive these mistakes, and teachers can strengthen education, but in society, it can only bring great frustration and irreparable helplessness to graduates. Finally, after experiencing profound lessons and great talent sacrifice, "educating people in large categories" has finally been understood by people: after studying basic public and professional courses in the early stage, students will have a deeper and more detailed understanding of related majors, and on this basis, they will determine specific majors more scientifically and reasonably for further study, so that students will have more space in employment choice.

Viewpoint 1: The division of arts and sciences is not conducive to the cultivation of comprehensive quality. At the "Undergraduate Education Reform Facing the Challenges of the Times: University General Education Forum" held by Fudan University, Xu Zhihong, president of Peking University, pointed out that the current division of arts and sciences in senior high schools leads to the lack of basic skills when students enter universities to receive general education, which is not conducive to the cultivation of students' comprehensive quality.

Viewpoint 2: Communication between arts and sciences is very important for students' development. Liu Zunyi, president of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, believes that it is very important for college students to broaden their horizons. College students majoring in science, engineering and medicine should read some works of humanities and social sciences, and they should also understand the development of modern science and technology and biological sciences. His view is that there are more and more interdisciplinary subjects, and many tasks, such as global warming, environmental protection and energy issues, require the cooperation of people in interdisciplinary fields, and students with a single subject cannot solve these problems in the future.

Viewpoint 3: The separation of arts and sciences violates the ultimate goal of education. Yi Zhongtian, a professor of Chinese Department of Xiamen University, said in response to a question raised by students, "At present, the foundation of literature, history and philosophy of science and engineering students is generally poor. What methods can be used to make up for it quickly and well?" . I think the weak literature and history of science students may be due to the division of arts and sciences in high school. "Yi Zhongtian believes that the separation of arts and sciences violates the ultimate goal of education, that is, everyone's innate talents can be fully demonstrated. Nowadays people pay too much attention to the practical purpose of education, that is, to make a living, and to go to college is to find a job.

The arts and sciences are diluted, and it comes naturally.

A social phenomenon now is that the division of arts and sciences is not in colleges and universities, but in the front line of the struggle to overthrow "power". In 20001year, Peking University began to implement the "Yuan Training Plan", with the goal of "laying a solid foundation, downplaying majors, teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, and diversifying training", and implementing general education and university basic education in junior grades and wide-caliber professional education in senior grades. In 2005, Fudan University reorganized 3,700 freshmen from different majors, disciplines and regions, and established four "Fudan Colleges" to carry out one-year interdisciplinary general education.

Since 2000, Jiangsu has carried out four college entrance examination program reforms, once every two years on average. Especially, the "2008 New Program", which caused widespread controversy in the society, was accompanied by the "demotion" of a number of previously important and difficult subjects, such as "physics" and "chemistry". People have completely lost sight of the shadow of "separating arts and sciences". In February, 2008, Shandong Provincial Department of Education explicitly requested to standardize the time of liberal arts division for senior high school students. Tao Qi, director of the Shandong Provincial Department of Education, pointed out that the quality education of senior high school principals in Shandong Province will be implemented in three steps. By 20 1 1, the curriculum standards will be fully implemented in senior high schools in the province, which means that liberal arts will be abolished at that time.

Looking at the background that the system of "dividing arts and sciences into disciplines" is about to go away, people have new ideas and no disciplines. What should we do next? What kind of talent selection and training mechanism to choose is a difficult problem for the education sector and even the whole society. As far as China's current education system and talent training mode are concerned, there is still a long way to go to truly implement quality education in an all-round way or even to "get through the arts and sciences", but there is a good saying: "I advise God to change his mind and drop talents without sticking to one pattern." The "god" here is nothing more than a good social environment conducive to people's full play.
