Middle schools organize open-air exams for students. Is this a new type of exam?

The incident of a middle school in Jiangxi organizing students to take exams in the open air has become a hot topic. Each student has a desk and is separated from other students by a large distance. During the exam, there are many teachers who are constantly patrolling. Netizens think this exam method is very novel, but some netizens said that they used to take exams in this way when they were children, and there was a lot of discussion. It is said that the teacher of the school said that the open-air examination format has been practiced in this school for many years in China and is not a new examination format. Of course, the exam location will also be changed based on the weather conditions on the exam day. After all, if you are taking an exam in the open on a windy day, there is a high chance that the test paper will be blown into the sky by the strong wind.

In fact, this kind of open-air examination is really not a new form of examination. Many people born in the 1980s almost used this examination form in their middle school years, especially in rural middle schools, most of which adopted this form. This open-air examination format is very helpful in preventing students from cheating. After all, in the spacious playground, the distance between each student is not short. Even if there is no teacher patrolling the field, you can’t see it when you turn your head. The content of the test paper of the approaching classmates. Of course, it is also very convenient for teachers to patrol the field. Standing at a high point, they can have a panoramic view of students' examination dynamics. This examination method is most suitable for the grade-level unified examination. Students from several classes take the examination together. After all, the playground area is large enough. All students take the examination together. It is a test for students' test-taking psychology, and the examination results are relatively fair.

However, this form of examination has strict weather requirements. Windy, rainy and snowy weather is not suitable for open-air examinations. Therefore, open-air exams are usually held on sunny days. It is also a wonderful experience to think that students from all classes in a grade carry tables and chairs to the playground to take exams. Today's middle school students have almost never experienced this kind of examination. Now they are all tested in class, with teachers patrolling the area and cameras filming, so the possibility of cheating is really very small.
