构筑国际人才竞争的战略制高点:培植思想力——杜克国际教育《2011中国SAT年度报告》的解析

To Cultivate the Thinking Ability and Seize the Strategic High Ground in the International Competition for Talent——Implications of DK Education's "2011China SAT Annual Analysis Report"

本文通过对杜克国际教育《2011中国SAT年度报告》的解析,反思并诊断中国学生在批判性阅读、数学和写作三领域的考试表现。基于对报告统计数据的对比,指出中国学生与“学术教育”的标准存在显著差距,从中浮现出来的是中国学生思想力和表达力走弱的深刻危机。本文进而提出中国教育应在价值观、人才评价观和高考目的观三大方面进行思想创新,即教育价值观应由前喻文化的“过去时”转向后喻文化的“未来时”、人才标准观应由“全面发展型”转向“主体创新型”、高考目的观应由“知识中心论”转向“创新思想力至上论”。

This paper reflects upon and diagnoses Chinese SAT test takers' performance in critical reading,mathematics,and writing,by analyzing the "2011China SAT Annual Analysis Report" released by DK Education,an SAT tutoring center.A careful examination of the data in the report reveals that Chinese students have a long way to go to meet the academic education standards,reflecting a serious crisis in Chinese students' thinking ability and expressive power.The paper advocates Chinese education innovation in three areas:education evaluation,talent evaluation,and purpose of the college entrance examination.That is,education evaluation should turn from "the past tense" of the post-figurative culture to "the future tense" of the pre-figurative culture;talent evaluation should turn from allround development to initiative taking;and the purpose of college entrance examination should turn from a focus on knowledge to a focus on innovative thinking ability.
