Decision of the national steering committee for self-examination examinations in higher education
Comments on the outline of the self-study examination for the higher education self-study examination
The curriculum for the self-learning examination is a document of the national education sector regulating the scope, requirements and examination standards of the course for self-study. It is the basis for individual self-study, social studies and propositions, as required by the professional examination programme, as well as for the preparation of self-learning materials and self-study guides。
Over the past decade, the development of the curriculum for the self-study examination has largely met the needs of the self-study examination for the specialty and for the curriculum, playing an active role in guiding individual self-study, social assistance and quality assurance. In order to further improve the self-study examination system and ensure the quality of the self-study examination, it is necessary to revise the syllabus of the self-study examination for each of the specialized courses on the basis of lessons learned。
In order to guide the revision of the curriculum for the self-study examination, the following observations are made:
I. Basic principles for the revision of the outline
(i) in accordance with the requirements of the professional examination programme for the course, the basic lines of the party are followed, guided by marxism and mao zedong ideology, and the basic content of the course is set in a scientific and systematic form。
(ii) emphasis on theoretical linkages, highlighting basic theories, basic knowledge and basic skills, and on the assessment requirements of the practice chain. More practical courses should be accompanied by experimental or social surveys。
(iii) increased focus on addressing the relationship between knowledge and capacity, emphasizing the assessment of the ability to translate knowledge into application. The objectives of the competency assessment are clearly articulated in relation to the nature and characteristics of the course。
(iv) take as a frame of reference the curriculum at the corresponding level of the full-time general higher education institution, carefully summarizing 10 years of experience from the examination and fully reflecting the characteristics of the curriculum of the self-study examination。
Requirements for revision of the outline
(i) content of the outline
The outline shall normally consist of three parts, namely, a description of the nature of the course; a description of the content of the course and the requirements for the purpose of the examination; and other relevant notes or provisions。
1. The nature of the course, including the nature, characteristics, purpose, requirements of the course, its place in the established examination profession, its role and its linkage and division of labour with the relevant course。
2. The content of the course and the objectives of the examination are specified in the overall objectives of the course's self-study and examination, chapter objectives and knowledge point objectives. The curriculum, which is not organized by chapter points of knowledge, may set goals at various levels according to its own characteristics and should provide for a common understanding and understanding among self-academics, aided scholars and campaigners。
This part, which is the subject of the curriculum for the self-study examination, requires that it be presented in the theory and method of educational measurement, using measurable language, and that the knowledge systems and levels of competence contained in the curriculum be transposed by point or unit of knowledge. The content of the course and the objectives of the appraisal can also be elaborated separately, taking into account the characteristics of the course。
Depending on the need, the section could be followed (or be accompanied by a separate appendix) by the types of topics that are commonly used for the examination of the course, so that it is oriented towards candidates, social aid scholars and test subjectors。
3. The description or part of the provision (implementing requirements), including the interpretation or definition of the terms used; the description of the use of the outline for self-tudents, associate scholars and national examiners; the length of the examination; the knowledge to be acquired in the course of study (e. G. Which courses of study should pass in the programme of the specialized examination before taking the examination for the course, etc.); guidance on self-study methods; recommendations for study bibliography, etc。
The recommended studies can be divided into compulsory and reference books. Teaching materials that meet the requirements of the curriculum for the self-study examination and are suitable for self-study in the course shall be considered “necessary”. It is necessary to designate two or three places for local examination bodies or candidates. The reference does not, in principle, exceed three。
(ii) modalities for the outline
These three components, which should generally be described separately, are also the basic modalities of the outline. But there may be cross-cutting elements, and efforts should be made to be structured and structured。
Iii. Steps for revision of the outline
The revision of the curriculum for the self-study examination is organized by the specialized boards of the national commission for examinations and the offices of the self-study examinations of the provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government. The revision can be carried out in three phases。
(i) phase i
The organizational outline revision team, based on this outline, conducts in-depth analytical work on the nature of the course, its content and the objectives of the appraisal, in relation to the actual course. In doing so, care is taken to incorporate the theory and methodology of educational measurements and to form the first draft of the curriculum for self-study examinations on the basis of an opinion。
(ii) phase ii
The first draft of the outline is widely listened to by examination managers, school principals and candidates in the region, and, to the extent possible, is subject to the first draft of the outline and the results are analysed. Further refinements and refinements will be made on this basis。
(iii) phase iii
In the form of an outline revision validation meeting, peer-to-peer experts are engaged to conduct a comprehensive validation of the curriculum revision, focusing on standardization of the course examination, standardization of the outline structure system and operationalization of the outline implementation。
Organization of the outline and approval process
The professional boards of the national examination commission, which are responsible for the revision of the curriculum of the relevant self-study examinations, are responsible for planning and updating in accordance with this revision. Upon completion of the revision of the outline, it is presented in accordance with the procedure established for the preparation of the outline and is published with approval。
In principle, the office of the provincial, autonomous region and municipal councils are responsible for the planning and revision of the curriculum of the relevant self-study examinations for professions not covered by the present revision. The revised curriculum was approved by the provincial (autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the central government) education administration for publication as a pilot programme and was submitted to the national commission for examination。
The curriculum for the self-study examination, which was prepared under the new programme, should be transmitted to the national commission for evaluation in conjunction with the provisions of the ministry of education's (85) examination number 001, " comments on the preparation of the curriculum for self-study examination " , and in line with the requirements of this revised syllabus。
The chinese professional council has revised the outline for the university self-learning examination in languages, which is attached (abbreviated) as an example。
