Chapter 2178, the new scoring system

As soon as the scientific examination is over, it is time for the examiners to be busy.

The marking desk is here.

Because the number of people in this imperial examination has set a new record in history, more than 5 people have participated in this imperial examination, and in addition, new examination content has been added.

Therefore, the marking task this time is also very heavy.

After the application of Wang Shouren, the chief examiner, the emperor also specially arranged for all important ministers such as the cabinet elders of the court and the six ministers to participate in the examination.

On the one hand, it is to realize that the imperial court attaches great importance to this imperial examination. After all, this is the first imperial examination held in the Zhengde Dynasty, and of course it must be highly valued.

The second reason is that this time new examination content has been added, and the score system has also been introduced, so it is also necessary to set the rules and tone for the future imperial examinations.

Therefore, sending all the ministers of the DPRK and China to participate in the review is also to fully ensure the fairness and justice of the imperial examination.

"My lords!"

"This scientific examination adopts a score system, which is very different from the previous grading. We grade each test paper from 0 to 100. 100 is the highest score and 0 is the lowest. Minute."

"What kind of test paper is scored as 0, that is, the answer sheet of the test that is completely out of this scientific examination is scored as 0 points, and the test paper with 60 points is considered a passing test paper."

"Scores of 70 and 80 are relatively satisfactory test papers, and test papers with a score of 90 or more are excellent test papers, so when you score, you can score according to such a standard."

"Of course, everyone has their own standards. Each of our test papers needs to be graded by five examiners, and the average score is taken as the final score."

Wang Shouren looked at the court ministers present, and also explained the scoring situation this time in detail.

In the past when grading papers, if the examiner thinks it is okay, they will put a circle on it, and if they are not satisfied, they will put a cross on it. At least three examiners will judge the papers. If there are disputes and disagreements, the chief examiner will finally evaluate.

Every qualified examination paper can only be considered qualified after being reviewed by the chief examiner. If the chief examiner thinks that the writing is not good, then it is not good.

Therefore, the examiner has great power, and the examiner's personal preferences and political opinions have a great influence on the candidates.

But now it is changed. Five examiners will score and take the average score. The examiner does not decide the final score, which greatly reduces the influence of the examiner's personal factors on the score.

You must know that sometimes the same examination paper has huge differences in the eyes of different people. Some people like gorgeous and brilliant articles, while others like plain and simple articles. There will naturally be a huge difference in scoring.

If you are lucky and meet an examiner who likes your style, congratulations, your chances of high school will be greatly increased. If you are unlucky and meet someone who just doesn't like you, you will probably lose your name.

The advantage of introducing the score system is this. Five examiners score and take the average to calculate the final score, and the influence of the examiner's personal preferences is greatly reduced.

"Understood, prince!"

Everyone said in unison, and then began to mark the papers.

More than 5 test papers have to be evaluated in just a few days, and the statistical scores must be calculated at the same time, and finally the rankings are obtained. This is a very heavy workload.

Liu Jin picked up a test paper and browsed it very quickly.

"0 points!"

"It's just off the topic. The topic that Lao Wang gave this time is indeed a bit too biased."

Liu Jin unceremoniously hit 0 eggs on it. The imperial examination also has its own strict standards, and those who deviate from the topic will naturally get zero points. There is nothing to say about this.

"40 points, the question is correct, but the content of the writing is really a mess, I don't know what to say."

"30 points, nothing to say."

One test paper after another was flipped through Liu Jin's hands, and there were very few of them that were really well written.

"Well, this one is not bad, I can give it 75 points!"

Finally, Liu Jin also saw a good test paper, and directly gave a high score of 75 points.

Such a high score can be said that this answer sheet is definitely a very good answer sheet, of course it is not excellent.

Time was passing by slowly, and everyone was grading papers continuously. Liu Jin was a little tired, so he stopped for a while, and then walked around to see everyone's grading situation.

Because the scoring system was introduced for the first time, everyone was more cautious when grading.

This is different from the past. I used to think that I could make a circle, but now it is specific to how many points to give, and the points need to be carefully considered.

Even if you are satisfied with the test paper, you have to think about how many points you should give, whether you are very satisfied or generally satisfied. This requires careful consideration and consideration.

When scoring, everyone is more cautious. Even the relatively satisfactory test papers are generally in the 90s and [-]s. No one seems to have typed out the [-]-point test paper so far.

"It seems that the introduction of the point system is correct. Under the point system, the scoring is relatively more fair and equitable."

Liu Jin walked around and nodded slightly.

In the past, it was just circles and crosses. I don’t know how satisfied it is. It still has a great impact, especially for candidates in the middle part.

After reading the marking of the stereotyped essay, Liu Jin also came to the marking office of the new school next door.

The grading of subjects for the new learning exam is relatively simple.

Because all the questions have standard answers, you only need to grade the paper according to the answers. If you are right, you are right, and if you are wrong, you are wrong, so the marking is relatively simple and the speed is much faster.

Of course, those who participate in the examination of the new school are also some lower-level officials in the court. They don't need their high standards, they just need to score the examination papers according to the answers.

"How about it?"

"How's the new exam going?"

Liu Jin walked in with a smile on his face, and the others saluted after seeing it.

"Liu Gong, it's very unsatisfactory."

"Everyone's scores are very low, and only a few people's scores are okay."

"Obviously, everyone doesn't know much about the new knowledge."

"Yeah, yeah, most of the 100-point test papers are in the 60s and [-]s, and a very small number of people can reach the passing score of [-] or more."

"Currently, according to the statistics, the score is only more than 80 points at most."

"Our imperial examinations are originally one in a hundred. Only a very small number of people do well in the exam, and that's normal."

"Everyone, continue to read the papers, I will take a look."

Liu Jin said with a smile.

Then he picked up some test papers and read them carefully.

The questions given this time are not difficult, even very simple. Most of the content is the content of the questions in elementary and middle schools. As long as you have read the books and knowledge related to new learning, it should not be difficult to pass the exam. .

However, it is obvious that scholars in this period still have their own pride. They are unwilling to learn the content of new learning, thinking that new learning is heresy, miscellaneous learning and so on.

Few people are willing to read new learning books and learn some of the above knowledge, and many people are even extremely opposed to new learning.

Who would have thought that this time he would take the new school exam, and the result would be a mess.

"From now on, it's time to learn the new knowledge well."

"It is necessary to read the books of sages, but if you only read the Four Books and Five Classics, you will be beaten if you don't fall behind."

Liu Jin laughed.

Is Confucianism really useless?

Obviously not, Confucianism also has merits of Confucianism, but when Confucianism developed until the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it basically reached a dead end, lost its vitality, and began to seriously hinder and limit the progress and development of society.

One family dominates, restricts thinking, creativity and imagination, and keeps intellectuals confined to the few books thousands of years ago, researching and researching.

I don’t know how many various research books and auxiliary books have been produced in the past dynasties, but they are meaningless and have no effect on social progress.

This is the fundamental reason why the East gradually lagged behind the West in the Ming and Qing Dynasties!

I came here through time travel, naturally I want to change this point, I have to constantly promote the progress of science and technology and society, break the Confucian tradition of being the only one, and break the shackles that bind the mind. Only in this way can I continue to be strong.

Look at the current Europe. Compared with the Ming Dynasty, Europe at this time is not so good, but it is this kind of Europe, which has made rapid progress and developed rapidly in the next few hundred years of history, and finally established global hegemony and status. .

Are they improving fast?
No, it's not that they are making rapid progress, but that we are standing still and going downhill, so we have the history of suffering for the next century.

Even in the 21st century, we are still paying for our backwardness, and we are still suffering from discrimination and bullying.

But in fact, in the current Ming Empire, the Ming people simply look down on Europeans. In the eyes of the Ming people, Europeans are barbarians, synonymous with dirty, ignorant, slaves and many other things.

In the eyes of Daming people, except for the East, the whole world is a land of barbarians, uneducated barbarians. The people of Daming in this period are extremely proud and confident.

All of a sudden, Liu Jin thought of many, many things, and was filled with emotion in his heart.

In order to let the scholars of Ming Dynasty learn and learn the new knowledge and content, in order to broaden their horizons and enrich their knowledge, I also took great pains and worked hard for decades to incorporate the new learning content into the highest level of Ming Dynasty. Level of imperial examinations.

I believe that in the future, this new study will gradually be learned by more and more scholars, which will naturally change the views and understanding of the new study.
