: One of the reasonable reasons for the existence of "Three Good Students": Three Good Students can inspire advancement. Associate Professor Guo Zhanyu, director of the Psychology Department of the School of Educational Sciences of Shenyang Normal University, believes that the existence of the "Three Good Students" selection system is reasonable.
The selection of "Three Good Students" is to select outstanding students with comprehensive moral, intellectual, and physical development among students. The purpose is to encourage advancement, set an example among students, and drive other students to make progress together.
As far as the system itself is concerned, the "three good" evaluations are progressive.
However, there are shortcomings in the specific selection process of the school.
The most prominent issue is the evaluation criteria of "three good students". The "three good" include good body, good mind and good study. However, many schools simplify the "three good" into "one good" in operation, and academic performance replaces morality.
Quality and physical fitness have become the only evaluation criteria.
Director Guo believes that when selecting "Three Good Students", students' comprehensive qualities should be comprehensively assessed. Compared with academic performance, the selection criteria should focus more on students' moral qualities.
Reason two: The selection of three good students makes children progress. Xiao Tao, a fifth-year student at Shenyang No. 2 Economic School, is a beneficiary of the "three good students" system. He is very puzzled by the cancellation of the selection of three good students.
According to Xiaotao's mother, Xiaotao used to be a naughty child with strong hands-on skills, but he did not study seriously, and his grades in the class were only above average.
In the third grade, he was nominated as a candidate for "Three Good Students" because of his award-winning handiwork, but he lost the election due to poor grades.
At that time, the child was very depressed. After realizing that his poor grades were the reason for his failure, he studied hard. Now his grades have improved and he has been rated as a "Three Good Students" for two consecutive years.
One of the reasons why the selection is unfair: the incentive function has been lost. "The 'Three Good Students' selected by the school are actually only a few people every year. For them, winning the award is no longer a big deal, as it should be.
In the eyes of others, the selection of 'three good students' has nothing to do with them. In this way, the motivation and demonstration role of the selection of 'three good students' have lost its existence value." Principal Cheng of Beiling Street Primary School.
Said that their school no longer evaluates "Three Good Students" this year, but instead selects various model-leading titles.
As long as students have special talents, they can participate in the ten major campus star selections, which can stimulate students' ambition more than the simple "three good students" selection.
Reason No. 2: The selection is unfair. Ms. He’s son, who works in a media company, was in the third grade and was rated as a “three good student” four times in six semesters.
But she still believes that the current selection of "three good students" should be changed.
"The 'Three Good Students' selection itself is not wrong from the starting point, but in the specific operation process, because it involves various interests, especially when it is linked to further studies, the selection results no longer represent their advanced nature and are not standardized.
"Unfair and unfair phenomena are very common." She suggested that more individual quality assessments should be carried out, and the evaluation system should be more scientific and sound. At the same time, the practice of linking advanced assessment with further education should be abolished.
Reason No. 3: Selection discourages enthusiasm. When it comes to evaluating "Three Good Students", Ming Ming, who has just graduated from a primary school in Dadong District, is very helpless.
He said that every time when the three best students were evaluated, classmates would ask for his vote. Since he couldn't be elected anyway, he might as well give favors.
From the perspective of Ming Ming, who has poor academic performance, the evaluation of "three good students" has nothing to do with him. No matter how hard he works, he cannot be evaluated. As time goes by, he will no longer need to work hard.
He said that if the school held individual selections, he would definitely be named a sports star.
