There is still more than a month before the national examination and postgraduate examination in 2018. Many businesses have discovered new business opportunities, launched a paid "learning supervision" service, and immediately became popular on the Internet. The reporter of Beijing Youth Daily learned that the "learning supervision" products, that is, the buyers pay merchants ranging from 3 yuan to 25 yuan, ask the "supervisor" to supervise the buyers’ learning through WeChat or QQ, and if they fail to complete the day’s plan, they will be fined by the "supervisor".
In this regard, education experts remind candidates to treat "supervised learning" products rationally. "In short, it is a way to rely on external forces to urge candidates to study. As for the effect, it should be analyzed according to the situation of different candidates." It may be effective for those who have poor self-control and can be improved by external restraint, but it is a double waste of time and energy for those who can’t persist or still can’t restrain themselves with external supervision.
phenomenon
Online sales of "learning supervision" products from 3 yuan to 25 yuan for one day.
There is only one month left before the national civil service and postgraduate exams begin. In some post bars and forums for preparing for the exam, many people show anxiety before the exam, and many people take the opportunity to promote a new "sharp weapon" for preparing for the exam — — Learn to supervise products. The salesman said that after buying the product of "learning supervision", he got rid of many bad habits and his learning efficiency was greatly improved.
What is "learning supervision" (product)? The reporter of Beiqing Daily searched on Taobao and found that more than a dozen merchants were selling such products. Some merchants advertise that products can help buyers "get rid of the bad habit of slackness and procrastination, cultivate the spirit of self-discipline and prudence" and "cure procrastination and laziness". The reporter of Beiqing Daily noticed that the "learning supervision" product is neither a medicine nor a test secret. To be precise, it is a kind of "one-on-one manual service". After purchase, the seller manually reminds the buyer to study on time through WeChat and QQ, helping (the buyer) to make a study plan, regularly or randomly checking the completion progress of the plan, and "answering the confusion of candidates in the preparation process".
The reporter of Beiqing Daily noticed that such products are charged on a daily basis, ranging from 3 yuan to 25 yuan. At the same time, the merchants also launched products with different length of time, such as one week, half a month or one month. The highest price of products for one month is 600 yuan.

The "supervisor" said that he had no national examination experience.
The hot sale of "learning supervision" products has also attracted attention among the preparation groups. Whether it is effective or not has become the most controversial topic among candidates.
Liu Ting (pseudonym), who bought this product, told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that she was preparing for the national examination this year, and once bought a product of "supervised (tutoring) learning". "But I think they did it very amateur, and then they didn’t continue to buy it."
Liu Ting told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that, according to the guidance of the merchants, she paid 10 yuan first, and then asked her how to help her prepare for the national examination. After adding the "supervisor" WeChat, the "supervisor" asked her if she had taken the civil service exam, what part she had learned from the latest exam? Liu Ting told each other one by one. After that, the supervisor asked Liu Ting to make his own study plan and specify the study tasks to be completed every day. "She said that she would let me send the completed pictures to her on WeChat to confirm whether the task was completed or not, and she would have to make a punishment plan if it was not completed."
"But what I am most concerned about is the ‘ Can provide counseling ’ 。” Liu Ting said that she was disappointed by the result of asking the "supervisor". "She is not an on-the-job civil servant, nor a staff member of a training institution. She has never even taken the civil service exam herself, and she has no experience at all. It is impossible to tutor candidates."
The reporter of Beiqing Daily noticed that on the evaluation page of such "learning supervision" products, many buyers gave favorable comments, and some buyers said that "supervision is still effective". "I used to set an alarm clock to remind myself, but I was always unconscious. Now that someone is with me, I always feel that I can’t be sorry for others or the money I spent." However, some buyers, like Liu Ting, mentioned that when buying products, the sellers said that they could "help" them with their studies, but in fact, they just "reminded them when the time comes, and left the news behind" and questioned that the merchants’ praise was "brushed out".
seller
Failure to complete the plan will be fined.
Regarding the above questions raised by buyers, Beiqing Daily reporter asked several sellers. Some sellers bluntly said that they are "not civil servants, and they don’t have the experience of tutors to obtain civil servants", but they can urge buyers to learn by "increasing the frequency of supervision, such as contacting 10 times a day".
A merchant with a monthly sales volume of 75 told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that there were not many "learning supervision" products that they sold specifically for civil servants. "This is too professional." "The most products are the supervision products for postgraduate entrance examination, grading examination, IELTS test, and preparation for the final exam, as well as weight loss supervision, with the highest sales volume." According to the merchant, he is an ordinary office worker, and there are four or five other "supervisors" in the team, including office workers and students at school. "So there is relatively no pressure to tutor the final exams of primary and secondary school students."
The merchant told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that since selling the "learning supervision" products, he has met many strange buyers, and he will also put forward corresponding countermeasures. He further explained that some buyers said that they love to play mobile phones or games, and he would directly suggest that buyers change their mobile phones to "old man machines". "This way, they can’t brush WeChat, Weibo, watch dramas or play mobile games." Some buyers offered to write a letter of guarantee if they couldn’t finish the task, "If they can’t, let me send the letter of guarantee to their school in WeChat official account", and some buyers also offered to do squats, sit-ups and other punishment methods. However, the merchant bluntly said that he was most happy to receive a fine. "It was usually 5 yuan or 10 yuan for the first time, and then it doubled." "At most, customers fined 80 yuan."
When talking about the effect of products, merchants said that "many buyers have become serious through supervision" and only "a few people have no effect". However, the merchant told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that he usually serves more than 20 buyers alone. "Basically, a customer can only remind him several times a day." If the customer asks for reminders too often, he may not be able to do it well. In addition, the merchant also told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that if the product purchased by the buyer lasts for one week or more and feels that the effect is not good, it can communicate with the merchant to terminate the service at any time, "deduct the fee according to the number of days already used and return the remaining amount".

Candidates should treat "learning supervision" rationally
Chu Zhaohui, a researcher at the China Academy of Educational Sciences, told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that candidates preparing for the exam should keep a calm and rational attitude towards the phenomenon of "learning supervision" products selling well. Chu Zhaohui said: "The function of this service is to help you study regularly and control your time with the help of external forces when you can’t control it yourself." He believes that this can only play the role of reminding or mutual supervision of a certain group, and will not play a big role in the knowledge growth of candidates. "I hope candidates will not be confused by the propaganda that exaggerates the actual effect."
Researcher Chu Zhaohui analyzed whether "learning supervision" is applicable to all candidates, and it should be analyzed in detail. "Candidates should have a clear understanding of themselves: if a person has strong self-control, he does not need to use external forces at all; If a person can’t control himself and can grasp the time with the help of external forces occasionally, he can try this kind of paid service or seek the supervision of his partner; If a person’s self-control is too poor, even if he spends money and relies on external forces, he should not waste time and energy. "
In addition, for candidates who are preparing for the exam, researcher Chu Zhaohui reminded that to do anything, we must first make clear the goal; Secondly, we should make our own plans and arrange the schedule; Thirdly, we should learn to refuse some external "temptations", such as games and TV plays, and then get rid of some of our bad habits in stages. "For many people, this will solve the problem."
