Students encouraged to embrace research
Print Edition
LOCAL high schools are actively encouraging students to take part in research programs because the education authorities will be incorporating it in their admissions criteria starting next year, said officials.
The education authorities have been encouraging local schools to organize research-based study, or investigative study, to cultivate students’ ability to solve problems independently and creatively through specific programs since 1998.
But the enthusiasm for research increased after Shanghai introduced a new college admission scheme in 2014, according to the Shanghai Education Commission.
Under the new rules, from 2017, Shanghai high school students applying at colleges will have to submit their unified college entrance exam and academic level test scores, as well as individual information on their personal attributes, including ethics, artistic literacy, creativity and practical abilities.
“It means every high school student should be involved in investigative study, rather than just a limited number of individuals,” said Jia Wei, deputy director of Shanghai Education Commission.
Schools have been asked to arrange at least two classes of research-based study a week and provide instructors for students doing research in academic areas that they are particularly interested in.
