Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Grades (marks) encourage students to learn.
Having a glimpse of the current situation in education around the globe, we may marvel at the large variety of examinations students must take each semester. Apparently, giving grades is considered the most common method to evaluate the performance of a student. The entire teaching system cannot do without it. In a sense, pursuing high grades is indeed an essential stimulus for students to concentrate on their textbooks. It is admitted that marks really encourage the students to learn, but their importance should not be exaggerated.
Evidently, the grading system urges students to study hard for the " Top One “, a sacred position in their eyes. No one wishes to fall behind. Thus, once a competition is started among the classmates, students ' efficiency might be promoted. Those who win will spare no effort to safeguard their superior results, whereas those who lose in the competition will work harder to get a better grade next time. It is due to such a mental state that students gain the initiative to learn. Researchers at China Academy of Social Sciences conducted a survey in 10 key high schools in Shanghai. They drafted a list of questions centering on motives to study hard at school and asked the students to fill out the questionnaire.2,000 students wrote out their answers, over half of which are desires to get high grades in the National College Entrance Examination.
Grades also help reveal a student's shortcoming in studies. Whenever a new round of assessments is done and the final grades are announced, students will have the opportunity to discover their weak points on some subjects. They may go all out to find the reasons for the loss of marks. After a brief review, it is natural for them to finally notice what has been neglected previously and obtain an objective attitude to their school performance. From then on, their attentions might be focused on those drawbacks indicated in the test. As a common notion suggests, learning from mistakes helps students to have a better tomorrow. If such a function works, progress can be made.
Nevertheless, " high grade, but low ability " has become an undesirable feature in some students. Meanwhile, lower grades might also lead to the complete loss of confidence in studies. As a result, schools ought to avoid these two extremes. The learning process is a comprehensive one that involves more than obtaining grades and passing examinations. For instance, starting a large variety of programs aimed at broadening the mind and cultivating interests, offering students to take part-time jobs to increase experience, organizing colorful activities, all these enjoyable opportunities to learn may encourage better academic performance and help them to be fully prepared for their future.
Consequently, as long as the grading system is managed appropriately at schools, students will always cherish the dream of gaining high marks and thus have the impetus to fight for it. Concerning all the details mentioned above, there is every reason to believe that grades contribute much to stimulating a student's passion for learning.
