释义

名词

新加坡中学的源流之一。也称“普通课程”、“普通班”。

DEFINITION

Noun

One of the secondary school courses in Singapore. Also known in Mandarin as “普通课程” or “普通班”.

由来

英语 “Normal course” 的意译。
1980年，新加坡政府在中小学全面执行了分流制度，中学课程分为快捷与普通源流。
普通课程另分为普通学术课程 (Normal [Academic] course) 和普通工艺课程 (Normal [Technical] course)。
修读普通课程的学生如果符合要求，可通过科目编班制 (Subject-Based Banding) 修读一些快捷课程的科目。
虽然普通学术课程在科目方面与快捷课程大致相同，但是在内容的广度和深度方面的要求较低。修读普通工艺课程的学生，科目则是以技术或实践为中心。
修读普通课程的中四学生都需要考新加坡剑桥普通教育证书 (初级水准) (Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education Examination [Normal Level]，简称“N水准”) 会考。N水准考试后，普通学术课程的学生有机会选择修读多一年，为新加坡剑桥普通教育证书 (普通水准) (Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education Examination [Ordinary Level]，简称“O水准”) 考试做准备。他们也可通过理工学院预科班报读理工学院，或到工艺教育学院继续学业。普通工艺课程的学生考了N水准考试后，可升读工艺教育学院的技术职业教育。

ETYMOLOGY

The Mandarin term “普通课程” is a paraphrase of the English term “Normal course”.
Since 1980, the Singapore Government has implemented streaming in primary and secondary schools. In secondary schools, students are streamed into Express and Normal courses.
The Normal course consists of the Normal (Academic) and Normal (Technical) courses.
Through Subject-Based Banding, students in the Normal course are allowed to take certain subjects from the Express course if they meet the subject requirements.
Students in the Normal (Academic) and Express courses take similar subjects, but the Normal course has lower requirements in terms of the breadth and depth of content. Students in the Normal (Technical) course focus on technical and hands-on learning.
Secondary Four students in the Normal course sit for the Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education Normal Level (GCEN-Level) examinations. Normal (Academic) students then have thechoice to continue one more year of study in preparation for the Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education Ordinary Level (GCE O-Level) examinations. They can also enrol in the Polytechnic Foundation Programme to apply to a polytechnic, or continue their studies at the Institute of Technical Education (ITE). After taking the N-Level examinations, Normal (Technical) students can enrol in technical vocational education at ITE.

例句
