"There are more than 500 candidates in the provincial examination, and the school examinations of drama, Nanyi, Beidian and Shanyi all stop at the preliminary examination." Recently, Jiang Ziyi, a 2022 candidate majoring in broadcasting and hosting art in Liaoning Province, said on the social platform, "there is no plan to repeat, and art colleges can only 'follow suit'.". However, just before the interview, Jiang Ziyi received a notice that another art college passed the retest. "From the beginning, I set a high goal, studied and practiced every day, and then my grades were not ideal. Now I receive the notice of the retest. I think as long as I continue to go on, I will be full of hope in the future". In early April, the school examination stage of the 2022 art entrance examination gradually came to an end. Last year's new covid-19 policy superimposed the recent outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, and the online examination, the extension of the provincial examination and the improvement of cultural performance. Several challenges made the 2022 Arts candidates face more complicated rules for entering the school. Confused, puzzled, unable to hide their loss and rekindle hope... In the interweaving of various emotions, how can they make a good trip to this year's art examination? The reporter interviewed relevant art examination students and experts. 1. The examination form has changed and the evaluation standard has not changed "The biggest change is that the cable exam began the year before last. This year, the three school exams have been changed to online." Referring to this year's school examination, Jiang Ziyi said bluntly: "uncertainty has increased." Early in 2020, novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreaks began, and some art colleges began to try to turn offline exams into online interviews. At the beginning of this year, there was a gathering epidemic in many provinces. Many art colleges such as Shanghai Conservatory of music and Nanjing Academy of art issued examination work arrangements and announced that the "offline on-site examination" would be adjusted to "online examination". Over the past three years, art examinees are still constantly adapting to new changes. For Guangdong art examinee Huang, the online examination has a more "sense of security". "There are no requirements for lighting and pictures in the art examination. We only need to ensure the authenticity of the works and submit them for examination after independent completion. Therefore, painting in a familiar environment will play a more stable role." The offline examination requires sketching, while the online examination turns into a unified copy of a picture. "In this way, the deviation is smaller and the examination is relatively easy", Huang Tong said. Compared with offline exams, "many schools have three recording opportunities for online exams and submit the best one. This is equivalent to two more opportunities." Jiang Ziyi added. However, as a candidate for broadcasting, Jiang Ziyi has experienced in tests that offline tests will have a more "sense of communication" if she can face the judges. At the same time, what frustrates her is that "I haven't been in contact with video recording before, and I don't know what kind of shooting background and light to choose". After many "never" exams and watching the unsatisfactory video effect, Jiang Ziyi began to reflect on the process and equipped with fill lights and other equipment. The online exam in the video also makes some art test students feel "uneasy". LV, a candidate majoring in broadcasting and hosting art in Guangdong Province, found that "many art examination training institutions are very professional. They pay attention to hardware supplement. For example, professional polishing can make people's facial contour more beautiful, and students who do not participate in the training will suffer a lot". Will the quality of hardware facilities and shooting venues affect the score of judges? Liu Shuo, associate professor of the Directing Department of the school of drama, film and television, Communication University of China, gave a negative answer. "From a technical point of view, whether the mobile phone has enough memory, whether the network is stable, and whether we can ensure that we don't get stuck in the exam, all these need to be tested in advance to ensure that we are safe in the exam. The addition of other additional equipment will not affect the teacher's judgment. A mobile phone and a quiet location with good light can ensure that the teacher can see the examinee truly and clearly. In case of technical problems in the exam, it is better than If you can't hear the voice or see the portrait, you can also suspend the examination immediately and contact the school recruitment office immediately. At least in our school. " Liu Shuo believes that whether online or offline, the standard of professional teachers' evaluation of students will not change. "We need to know what abilities candidates have. In fact, they can be captured clearly and accurately across the screen. What candidates need to do is to be fully prepared, adjust their mentality, and show the most real face with the most relaxed attitude." The class that Liu Shuo is teaching was admitted after the first attempt of online examination in the spring of 2020. "They are excellent, love their major and have unique ideas. This shows that even online interview can still ensure the selection of suitable students". 2. Increase the differentiation ability of provincial unified examination On September 24, 2021, the Ministry of Education issued the guiding opinions on Further Strengthening and improving the enrollment of Art Majors in Colleges and universities (hereinafter referred to as the opinions). The opinions clearly states that it is necessary to continuously improve the level and quality of the provincial unified examination, gradually expand the scope of the provincial unified examination, and basically realize the full coverage of the provincial unified examination of art majors by 2024. Subsequently, all provinces and cities across the country successively issued the enrollment measures for the examination of art majors. For example, the Guangdong Provincial unified examination is divided into five categories: art, calligraphy, music, dance and radio and television editing and directing. Candidates must participate in the provincial unified examination and pass the results before they can participate in the professional school examination. In addition to Guangdong, looking at the whole country, more and more colleges and universities recognize the provincial unified examination results this year. For example, according to the announcement of the 2022 art undergraduate enrollment examination of Sichuan film and Television College, Sichuan film and Television College no longer sets the school examination in Liaoning Province, but adopts the provincial unified examination results. Hu Xiangdong, director of the measurement and evaluation center of central China Normal University, said: "for candidates, increasing the promotion of the unified examination should be greatly beneficial: first, the unification of standards, second, the implementation of relative norms, and third, reducing the pain and expenses of candidates running around the examination, which is conducive to candidates' full preparation and can also help students free up more time and energy to prepare for cultural courses." In addition, the Opinions also pointed out that for a few art colleges with distinctive professional characteristics and high talent training quality, they can apply for organizing the school examination on the basis of the provincial unified examination according to the procedure. The reporter found that at present, comprehensive universities generally adopt the evaluation method of provincial unified examination and cultural courses, while professional colleges and universities mostly adopt the evaluation method of school examination and cultural courses. LV told reporters that in her opinion, general art candidates have two choices: if the results of culture courses are dominant, they will focus on culture courses after the provincial unified examination in December every year, and the combined results of the two are better, they may enter the top comprehensive university; If the results of cultural courses are not dominant, continue to participate in the school examination after the provincial unified examination, so as to ensure the bottom of the unified examination and sprint the school examination. "It is generally acknowledged that students with better professional conditions will spare no effort to prepare for the school examination. The probability of being admitted to the 'four courtyards' of Zhongchuan, Zhongxi, Beidian and Shangxi is relatively high." LV Tong theory. Hu Xiangdong said that improving and optimizing the art recruitment system is a systematic project. For the provincial examination, we need to increase the ability to distinguish. To provide good students for art colleges and universities, the key is to establish a fair and scientific quality assurance system. For the schools that organize the school examination, we should fully respect the differences and formulate plans in combination with the actual situation of each school, so that the school examination can truly play the function of discovering and cultivating excellent talents. 3. Improving cultural literacy will be of great help to artistic creation Closer and closer to the college entrance examination, Jiang Ziyi ended this year's school examination trip. But she admitted that the performance of culture class is the current weakness. In recent years, because some colleges and universities do not have high requirements for the scores of art examination candidates in cultural courses, some candidates take the art examination as a "shortcut to further study". To this end, the "opinions" clearly put forward the requirements for gradually improving cultural achievements. On the basis of the existing performance requirements of cultural courses, all provinces (regions and cities) are required to adjust measures to local conditions, classify and gradually improve the minimum control score line for the admission of cultural courses in the college entrance examination for art majors, and gradually reverse the tendency of "emphasizing majors and neglecting culture" in the selection of art professionals in some colleges and universities. "Some candidates and their parents have a cognitive misunderstanding that the admission score of art is relatively low. If the academic performance is not ideal, they can find an exit to college by applying for art. This idea is not only a misunderstanding of art selection, but also a blind obedience to their own professional choice." Liu Shuo pointed out pointedly, "moreover, if you don't get the certificate of art examination, you can relax. After all, the score of college entrance examination is equally important". Hu Xiangdong also said that the facts over the years have shown that students with high scores in both culture and art majors can enter high-level art colleges. Art courses and culture courses must complement each other. "Improving the requirements for the performance of culture courses does not mean that we need to make up for culture courses, nor will it take up the time to learn art. To learn art, we must first love art." Liu Shuo said, "In the process of everyone's growth, they have accumulated imperceptibly since the first day of reading and learning. Such accumulation is the need of learning, life and thinking. It is an indispensable part of everyone's life. As for the director major, the observation and thinking generated in the process of reading, writing, watching movies and listening to music are the improvement of their artistic and cultural level. The quality gained in this process And perception will be of great help to artistic creation. " (outlook new era)
