| In the 1980 s and 1990 s,the criticism of the shortcomings of College Entrance Examination intensified,and even the radicals threatened to abolish the National College Entrance Examination.With an in-depth study of the imperial examination,Prof.Liu Haifeng who knows the development law of the examination history in China,believes that the unified College Entrance Examination cannot be abolished.Not only he started the debate with the abolitionists of College Entrance Examination,but also explored the law of the College Entrance Examination reform through learning from the ancient times to the present.Liu Haifeng profoundly analyzed the complexity of College Entrance Examination reform environment.As the era of imperial examination,modern people still emphasize education,fairness,and relationships,in addition to the great differences in social class in China,and the upward mobility channels are unique,thus making China’s cultural conditions special.Different stakeholders have different interests in the College Entrance Examination.Based on the complexity of the College Entrance Examination reform environment,Liu Haifeng extracts the eight dilemmas of the College Entrance Examination reform and the core is which the fairness or efficiency has been given priority to.He believes that the value orientation of the College Entrance Examination reform should be followed “Fairness First” and taking into account the efficiency of picking personalities.Besides,in the case of underdeveloped economy,the unified College Entrance Examination can also give consideration to the economic efficiency of College and University Admission.Therefore,we must adhere to the unified College Entrance Examination to ensure fairness in practice,and steadily advance the College Entrance Examination reform according to the changes in China’s national conditions,and gradually increase the efficiency of picking personalities.In the 1990 s,according to the effectiveness of personnel selection,the abolition proposed the alternative of “strict entry and tolerant exit” College EntranceExamination based on the efficiency of picking personalities.The unified College Entrance Examination school represented by Liu Haifeng,based on the situation of China,believes that it is difficult to give priority to the efficiency of personnel selection due to the limitation of current economic conditions.At the same time,the College Entrance Examination system is deeply influenced by Chinese traditional culture,it is not only an educational examination,but a social examination.In practice,the pilot work of the system of recommending students for admission to college is difficult to achieve its original intention because of fairness.Therefore,the university enrollment system should first ensure fairness and adhere to the unified College Entrance Examination.The practicality operational of the claims of both the reservation or abolition of College Entrance Examination is evident.Since the 21 st century,the problems of economic efficiency in the college admission has been gradually resolved,and people began to pay more attention to the effectiveness of College Entrance Examinations.Radicals believes that College Entrance Examination of Fairness First and over-unified have undermined the efficiency of college admission.The reforms of College Entrance Examination need not to be deliberately pursuing fairness,and the autonomy of enrollment should be delegated to colleges and universities based on the efficiency of personnel selection.The moderates,represented by Liu Haifeng,believes that the college entrance examination must still be adhered to the principle of “Unified College Entrance Examination and Fairness First” under the actual conditions of China.In practice,the pilots of independent recruitment in universities have been subjected to the fair question and it is difficult to be implemented a large scale.The new round of College Entrance Examination reform is initiated in 2014 and it is clear that the reform of the College Entrance Examination should take into account fairness and scientific.That is to say,it should be led by fairness,and continue to adhere to the reform direction of the unified College Entrance Examination.And the independent admission examination has been put after the unified College Entrance Examination.Correspondingly,Liu Haifeng further optimized ideology on College Entrance Examination reform and elaborated the relationship between the fairness and scientific of the College Entrance Examination reform.Liu Haifeng’s research adds a theoretical perspective to the reform of the College Entrance Examination and makes it theoretical.Liu Haifeng’s idea of steadily promoting College Entrance Examination reform based on unified College Entrance Examinations provides a theoretical reference for the decision-making department of College Entrance Examination reform.In practice,Liu Haifeng’s ideology of College Entrance Examination reform plays an important role in clarifying misunderstandings of public opinion and ensuring the implementation of College Entrance Examination reform successfully. |
