Answer: In 2014, the State Council issued the "Implementation Opinions on Deepening the Reform of the Examination and Enrollment System" to make comprehensive arrangements for the reform of the examination and admissions system. In 2016, our province was listed by the country as the second batch of pilot provinces for the comprehensive reform of the college entrance examination. This is the country’s affirmation, trust and attention to Hainan’s education. In 2016 and 2018, the provincial government successively issued the "Implementation Plan for Deepening the Reform of the Examination and Enrollment System in Hainan Province" and the "Pilot Plan for Deepening the Comprehensive Reform of the Higher Education Examination and Enrollment in Hainan Province", which clarified the guiding ideology, goals and tasks of the pilot comprehensive reform of the college entrance examination in our province. and job requirements.

In order to implement the reform policies, under the guidance of the Ministry of Education, the Provincial Department of Education set up a special working group in accordance with the requirements of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government to conduct special research and carefully sort out the examination and enrollment in our province. System reform context, learn from the advanced reform experience of other provinces, extensively solicit opinions from candidates, parents, universities and middle schools, and scientifically plan and systematically design our province's implementation methods.

After legal review and evaluation and demonstration by relevant experts, it was approved by the Provincial College Admissions Committee and issued for implementation.

2. Question: What are the basis and principles for the development of the "Implementation Measures"?

Answer: During the development process, according to the "Implementation Opinions of the State Council on Deepening the Reform of the Examination and Enrollment System", "Hainan Province's Implementation Plan for Deepening the Reform of the Examination and Enrollment System" and "Hainan Province's Pilot Plan for Deepening the Comprehensive Reform of Examination and Enrollment in Colleges and Universities" 》 and the relevant regulations of the Ministry of Education, in accordance with the requirements of being conducive to quality education, conducive to scientific talent selection, and conducive to educational fairness, and adhering to the principles of smooth transition, scientific planning, systematic design, and orderly advancement to deepen the admissions examination and admission work of colleges and universities in our province. reform.

3. Question: What are the main changes in admission methods before and after the reform?

Answer: Starting from 2020, the enrollment methods of ordinary colleges and universities in our province mainly reflect changes in the following six aspects, including batch mergers and volunteer settings:

First, the admission basis is: change. The admission of ordinary colleges and universities in our province is based on the candidates' unified college entrance examination scores and academic level selective examination scores as the basic basis, with reference to the comprehensive quality evaluation of high schools, that is, "two basis and one reference" for merit-based admission.

Second, there are changes in the admission batch. The first is to merge undergraduate batches. Admissions to ordinary colleges and universities in our province are only divided into undergraduate batches and junior college batches. The undergraduate batches are divided into undergraduate advanced part and undergraduate general part. The second is to adjust the admission order of some batches. Undergraduate sports and local special programs will be adjusted to undergraduate early admission. That is: the undergraduate advanced part is divided into undergraduate advanced general categories, undergraduate arts and sports categories (enrollment is carried out at the same time as undergraduate advanced general categories), national special plans, local special plans, special types (including strong foundation plans, high-level sports teams, and high-level arts). Students will be admitted in the order of undergraduate general classes, undergraduate minority classes and preparatory classes.

Third, the volunteer settings have changed. The basic unit of the voluntary setting is the professional group of the school, that is, the "school major" approach is adopted. Colleges and universities prepare enrollment plans and set up professional groups of colleges and universities according to the requirements of professional subjects for admission, and admissions are made based on the professional groups of colleges and universities. Candidates must fill in the application form only if the subjects they choose meet the subject requirements of the professional group of the institution they plan to apply for. For professional groups of colleges and universities that do not have subject requirements, candidates have no restrictions on the subjects they can choose when applying.

Fourth, the number of volunteers has changed.

In order to best meet the needs of candidates' volunteer application and college selection, after the reform, there are 6 college professional group volunteers in each of the undergraduate advanced general category, undergraduate art category, undergraduate sports category, and national special plan. There are 3 university professional group volunteers for some art school examinations and local special projects, and 1 university professional group volunteer for special categories. The undergraduate general batch has 24 university professional group volunteers, ethnic minority classes and There are 6 college professional group volunteers for the preparatory class, 6 college professional group volunteers for the advanced vocational college, college art, and college sports, and 10 college professional group volunteers for the higher vocational college. The school's professional group has 6 professional volunteers and obedience adjustment volunteers.

Fifth, the underlining ratio has changed. On the premise that it can meet the needs of college admissions and talent selection, we adhere to the principle of maintaining the same admission rate for each batch as in previous years, and determine the minimum control score line for each batch of admissions. That is: the minimum control score line for undergraduate batch admission is the corresponding score of 115 candidates in the total number of undergraduate programs. For the junior college batch, applicants will apply first and then draw the line, and draw the line based on the scores of candidates corresponding to 100 of the total number of junior college plans in the enrolling institution. In principle, the minimum control scores for some special types of admissions are drawn based on the scores of the corresponding candidates in the total number of 25 candidates. The proportion of the minimum control score lines for art and sports is the same as before the reform, and the lines are still drawn according to the total number of 115 enrollment plans for art (sub-professional categories) and sports.

Sixth, the investment ratio has changed. Before the reform, the proportion of each batch of parallel voluntary submissions is in principle 105 of the planned number of college enrollments. After the reform, the proportion of each batch of parallel voluntary submissions will be based on the final planned number of college professional groups after the simulation. The 100 ratio is officially submitted, which can reduce the risk of candidates withdrawing.

3. Interpretation of Hainan Province’s Standard Score Conversion Method for General College Entrance Examination

1. Question: Please introduce the background and process of optimizing the standard score conversion method for the General College Entrance Examination in our province.

Answer: Since 1988, our province has been using standard scores to present college entrance examination results. Using standard scores to report college entrance examination results can refine grades, better distinguish candidates with different ability levels, and make selections fairer. Our province's admissions based on standard scores has always been widely recognized by society.

In the context of the comprehensive reform of the college entrance examination, in view of the new situation of candidates choosing different subjects, different groups, and different numbers of applicants, we invited a number of authoritative experts at home and abroad to form an expert team to fully demonstrate. Experts believe that Our province's new college entrance examination continues to use standard scores to report college entrance examination results, which is not only scientific and rational, but also in line with Hainan's reality. In order to adapt to the new situation emerging in the comprehensive reform of the college entrance examination and ensure that the conversion of standard scores is more scientific, reasonable, fair and just, on the premise of basically maintaining the original standard score conversion method, the standard score calculation method will be appropriately optimized and adjusted.

In the process of optimization and adjustment, the expert team used original data to conduct multiple rounds of simulation calculations, repeated consultations and demonstrations, and determined the content of optimization and adjustment. After extensive consultation with various city and county education administrative departments, teachers, students and Based on the opinions of parents, following the procedures of public participation, expert argumentation, risk assessment, legality review, and reporting to the Provincial College Admissions Committee for approval, the "Hainan Province General College Entrance Examination Standard Score Conversion Implementation Measures" was finally formed.

2. Question: What content has been optimized by the new standard point conversion method?

Answer: The new standard score conversion method mainly optimizes and adjusts two aspects:

First, it optimizes and adjusts the score conversion range of standard scores for each single subject. The score conversion interval of each single subject's standard score is optimized from the original ? to ?, and the score conversion interval of the comprehensive score's standard score remains unchanged [100, ?900].

The second is to optimize and adjust the calculation method of percentage level. Optimize and adjust the original standard percentile grade calculation method: "Calculate the percentage of people less than fraction Xi" to "Calculate the percentage of people less than or equal to fraction Xi".

3. Question: Why should the conversion interval of each single subject be optimized from the original [100,?900]?

Answer: The original college entrance examination in our province adopted the "Dawen" and "Dali" examination patterns. The number of candidates for liberal arts and science subjects was relatively stable, and there would not be too few students in any single subject.

The new college entrance examination adopts the "select 3 from 6" examination mode, and there may be too few students in a single subject. The score conversion interval of the standard score for each single subject is optimized to compress the score interval, effectively solving the phenomenon of sparse scores for subjects with a small number of candidates under the new college entrance examination selection model, while ensuring that candidates' single subject rankings remain unchanged. , making the contribution rate of each single subject score to the comprehensive score more scientific and reasonable.

4. Question: Why should the calculation method of percentile grade be revised?

Answer: The revised calculation method solves the problem of the maximum standard score not reaching the full mark when there are few candidates or there is a tie for the highest score. It ensures that no matter how many people take the examination for each subject, the maximum score for a single subject is The standard score with the highest score can reach the full score of 300 points, and the standard score with the highest comprehensive score can reach the full score of 900 points.
