【經濟日報專訊】國際預科文憑(IB、International Baccalaureate)上周五放榜,首年有學生應考的拔萃男書院,平均分達38分,高於全球平均29.83分;一人考得45分滿分,獲美國普林斯頓大學取錄,6成考獲入讀劍橋、牛津大學基本要求的38分或以上。

校方表示,IB課程重視學習動機,要求學生自律及妥善管理時間,坦言有成績優秀但學習性向不符的學生,會被拒諸門外。

全球IB考生今年平均分為29.83分,比去年低2.07分,僅約0.2%考生考獲45分滿分;33名男拔的首屆IB學生,平均考得38分,其中45分狀元沃澤鈞將赴美國普林斯頓大學攻讀經濟及金融,考獲44分的劉劻昀及何慶達,則分別於中文大學及香港大學攻讀醫科。

創意批判主動 取錄關鍵

9月上任男拔校長的現任副校長鄭基恩昨表示,對首屆IB學生成績感滿意,指學生的主動性及老師投入教學為培育狀元關鍵;他稱,25人的教學團隊中,一半為外籍教師,擴闊學生國際視野,亦有助學生考取好成績。

鄭基恩稱,不能比較本地新高中課程或IB課程,哪個對升學前景更有利,學生選課程應視乎其學習動機及升學意向,而校內老師會就學生的性格特質作建議;而學術成績並非校方取錄IB課程學生主要考慮,其主動性、創意及批判思考能力才是關鍵。

男拔經濟科教師兼訓導主任胡家麟解釋,學生學習動機非常重要,除了6科應考學科外,學生亦要兼顧課程鼓勵創意及社會服務的課外活動(CAS,即Creativity, Action, Service)部分,以及撰寫知識理論(TOK,即Theory Of Knowledge)論文,必須主動、自律及妥善管理時間。

他直言,有成績優秀學生報讀IB,但學習性向並不符合,都被校方拒諸門外。

棄填鴨教育 赴笈拓眼界

滿分狀元沃澤鈞稱,IB課程的老師會教導自己撰寫報考海外大學的個人簡歷,有助海外升學;考獲43分的羅元暉亦認為,本地教育制度較着重背誦,部分學生難在填鴨制度下覓得出路。

個性外向、喜愛參加課外活動的羅憶述,中一時老師曾根據本地課程教他以英文作文,必須背誦「小明要於某一處境下做某些事」,他質疑小明為何一定要這樣,其後他寫自己想寫的文章,終考不到好成績,一度被勸告放棄課外活動。

最後,他根據性向報讀IB課程,認為課程容許學生有個人觀點,亦能繼續參加不同課外活動。羅元暉如今獲倫敦大學學院法律系取錄,經深思熟慮後,他認為自己最想修讀的還是國際關係,現決定先休學一年,到歐洲各地考察政治體制,再報讀相關課程。
