It is well known that private elementary school in Shanghai enroll students through entrance interviews, and each private school can arrange its own interviews, the content of which is determined by the private school itself. The major well-known private elementary school entrance interview questions in previous years casually online search is a basket of those interview questions, although on the surface seems to be a variety of things, all-inclusive, but a hundred variations are not deviating from the same thing, summarized are basically around the child's eight ability to investigate, these abilities include: moral, physical fitness and coordination, attention and observation (memory), logical ability, language expression, Imagination (divergent thinking), hands-on ability, interpersonal and collaborative skills.
The next step is to take a look at what the hot private schools are doing to examine these abilities, so that parents can begin to teach and develop their children's various abilities.
Moral behavior
"Moral behavior" refers to the child's ideological character and behavioral norms, which is an area that is easy to overlook, and some private schools will examine the child's moral behavior. For example, there is a group game in the interview questions of Shifu Primary School 2015, which allows children to work together to complete a piece of work, and the interviewer will observe the child's behavior during the game to see if they are standardized, and whether or not they are friendly.
Good morals need to be cultivated from a young age, so parents need to teach by example and set a good example in their normal lives to improve the quality of their children's minds and regulate their behavior.
Physical fitness and coordination
The vast majority of schools examine children's physical fitness and coordination, basically allowing them to dance to music or videos, skip drills, jump rope, jumping jacks, and so on.
World Wide Elementary School's 2015 interviews had children dancing to music, doing radio gymnastics, and even mechanical dancing, which examined the child's physical fitness and coordination, so parents should pay attention to giving their children enough time to move.
Attention and observation (memory)
Memory partly depends on heredity, the other part is to rely on the attention and observation, only a high degree of concentration, observation of meticulous mastery of the tricks, will remember longer.
World Wide Elementary School 2015 interviews have a level of observation of different shapes, to say the difference, this requires the child to focus on observing the differences in shapes. In other schools, the interviewer will show the child something and then ask you to reproduce the image, etc., to check whether the child's observation is sharp and memory is accurate.
Parents can change the items in the house from time to time to see if the child can notice the difference, or you can prompt the child to find what's different in the house, and use such methods to exercise the child's powers of observation and memory.
Language skills
Language skills are the main way to improve our quality and develop our potential, and the ability to express ourselves is one of the most important factors for success in life. Teachers in some school interviews usually communicate with children by chatting with them and suggesting simple topics.
World Wide, Aiju, Yifu, Grand Garden and other elementary school 2015 interviews will have a self-introduction section, name, age, where your family lives, what your mom or dad does for a living, etc., or talk about a thing that makes you happy or sad, look at a picture and tell a story, etc.. Through the above ways to check whether the child's language expression is fluent and complete.
Parents can usually talk to their children at home, and before going to bed at night, tell them what they have played today, and if they are happy or unhappy, or have other ideas, they can say so. Parents can also talk about their own experiences today, and then let their children talk about them, and share them with each other.
Logical ability
About the logical ability to examine, the interview teacher will come up with questions like this, to identify different types of patterns (for example, five patterns, four of which are food, one of which is not), the children can be differentiated from the shape, but also can be divided into different categories of objects, the answer to diversified.
The Grand Garden 2015 interview asked children to use tangrams to put together pictures, such as a house, a flower, a small fish, an airplane, etc., and add a stroke on top of a circle, square, rectangle, or semi-circle, what pattern can it become?
In ordinary life, parents can play jigsaw puzzles with their children, parents can let their children ask more why, or also ask their children why, so that they can exercise their children's cause and effect relationship. Also you can let your child categorize their toys, clothes, food, furniture, etc. to exercise their logic skills.
Imagination (divergent thinking)
Imagination and divergent thinking are usually examined together, and the basic method of examining them is to look at pictures and tell a story. The child is given a few pictures, and then asked to pick out the pictures and sequence them to tell a complete story or stories. Some schools also give children blocks of different shapes and allow them to come up with several different ways of arranging them, which requires the child to think out of the box and give full play to his or her imagination.
Children's ideas are in fact the most bizarre, in ordinary life do not easily give the child's ideas to correct, to encourage the child's imagination and assumptions, so that they will be more bold in the sky.
Hands-on skills
The hands-on skills of children need to be put into action by combining what they have learned with their imagination, so many schools will also examine the hands-on skills of children.
The Shaw Primary School 2015 interview asked the child to make a Mother's Day card according to the teacher's requirements and to be able to articulate the steps of making the card, and then to develop his or her imagination and tell a story using the scenario created. This one requires the child to fully combine their knowledge, hands-on skills as well as imagination.
Parents can do more crafts and chores with their children at home, which is a good way to develop their hands-on skills.
Interpersonal and collaborative skills
Some schools will examine the child's interpersonal and collaborative skills, generally require several children to work together to complete a task, for example, Shaw Primary School 2015 interview interviews with the interviewer to divide several children together in a group activity to complete the work (bookmarks), in the process of production to observe the children's behavioral norms, social skills, The teacher also observed the children's behavior, social skills, and spirit of cooperation during the process of making the bookmark.
Parents usually let their children play with other children and set up a certain task for the children to complete in groups.
In fact, in the interview process, the parents' performance will also be one of the conditions of success, the interview teacher prefers to see a family of three to attend the interview, to maintain a good grooming make-up and harmonious relationship with the child's interview will be added to the points.
