成為DP學(xué)生的三個(gè)理由 Three reasons to consider becoming an IB DP student

At ISNS, students are afforded the opportunity to build their knowledge of the IB learner profile from an early age and develop the Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills they will need to be successful in both their academic and personal development.

在ISNS，學(xué)生從低年級起就開始建立他們對IB學(xué)習(xí)者培養(yǎng)目標(biāo)的概念，并發(fā)展他們在學(xué)業(yè)和個(gè)人發(fā)展方面取得成功所需的學(xué)習(xí)方法(ATL)技能。

The IB Diploma Programm (DP) is a rigorous, challenging, and balanced two-year university preparation programme for students aged 16 to 19. The IB supports its schools by providing outstanding research-based education, developing both disciplinary and interdisciplinary knowledge and understanding. Established in 1968, the Diploma Programme (DP) is the oldest of the IB programmes and therefore has numerous amounts of research to support why it is one of the best university preparatory curriculums in the world.

IB 文憑項(xiàng)目 (DP)面向16至19歲的學(xué)生，是一個(gè)嚴(yán)格的，具有挑戰(zhàn)性的，且全面綜合的兩年制大學(xué)預(yù)科課程。IB世界組織為其體系下的學(xué)校提供高水平的探究為基礎(chǔ)的教育課程，幫助學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)和深入理解各學(xué)科和跨學(xué)科的知識。文憑項(xiàng)目(DP)成立于1968年，是IB課程中最早的課程項(xiàng)目。大量的研究結(jié)果表明它是世界上最出色的大學(xué)預(yù)科課程之一。

With a strong emphasis on research to support the benefits of this programme, here are THREE REASONS WHY YOUR CHILD(REN) SHOULD CONSIDER JOINING THE IB DP.

文憑項(xiàng)目非常側(cè)重研究性學(xué)習(xí)，我們根據(jù)文憑項(xiàng)目這一特點(diǎn)帶來的益處和優(yōu)勢在此列出了您的孩子應(yīng)該考慮選擇IB DP的三個(gè)理由。

1. CHOICE: The IB DP offers a variety of courses that are catered to the interests of each student. This means that students will take ownership of their own learning. Starting in Grade 9 and 10, along with working side by side to our university counsellors, students narrow the focus of their studies. We encourage students to work backward, with their university and career goals in mind. ISNS also offers different streams besides the full DP, including IB DP course certificates and New Brunswick streams, for students that may want to focus more on extracurricular activities, such as art, sport, music, and technology.

選擇：IB DP提供種類繁多的課程，以滿足每個(gè)學(xué)生的興趣。這就意味著學(xué)生是學(xué)習(xí)的主導(dǎo)者。從9年級，10年級開始，在大學(xué)升學(xué)指導(dǎo)顧問的輔助下，學(xué)生將逐步細(xì)化，具像化所選課程。通常，我們建議學(xué)生根據(jù)計(jì)劃申請的大學(xué)和專業(yè)情況以及將來從事的職業(yè)倒推，以確定目前所選的課程。除全DP文憑這條路徑之外，對于想要專注于從事藝術(shù)，運(yùn)動(dòng)，音樂，科技等領(lǐng)域的學(xué)生，ISNS還提供了多種可供選擇的路徑。比如，IB DP 課程證書和加拿大新布倫威克省高中畢業(yè)文憑。

“A common thread that emerged from participant life stories was that the IB has the potential to powerfully shape the lives of students who participate in its programmes.”

“從課程學(xué)習(xí)者的人生經(jīng)歷中提煉出一個(gè)共同的特點(diǎn)，那就是IB通過其項(xiàng)目課程，有力地塑造了其學(xué)習(xí)者的生活。” (Wright, K. 2015)

2. INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION: The IB is recognized and valued by universities around the world. They understand the rigors of the programme and the lifelong skills that DP graduates develop. These qualities translate to DP graduates being more prepared for university studies than their counterparts. Not only do IB DP graduates get into universities more frequently, but more importantly, the students are more likely to graduate from university and pursue post-graduate studies.

國際認(rèn)可度：IB在全球范圍內(nèi)得到大學(xué)的認(rèn)可和關(guān)注。他們對該項(xiàng)目的嚴(yán)苛度和DP畢業(yè)生所具備的終身技能有著清晰的認(rèn)識。這些特質(zhì)使DP畢業(yè)生與其他競爭者相比，在面對大學(xué)課程挑戰(zhàn)時(shí)，具有更加明顯的優(yōu)勢。IB DP的畢業(yè)生不僅升學(xué)率更高，并且在大學(xué)畢業(yè)后繼續(xù)深造研究的可能性更高。

“DP graduates were significantly more likely to persist and to complete college than their non-DP counterparts. Qualitative data also indicated that DP graduates were better able to adjust to the rigors of university coursework; students specifically highlighted a number of skills gained through participation in the DP, including critical thinking, time management, and research skills”.

“DP學(xué)生明顯比其他非DP項(xiàng)目的學(xué)生更可能勝任并完成大學(xué)的學(xué)業(yè)。質(zhì)性研究的數(shù)據(jù)也同時(shí)表明了DP畢業(yè)生能夠在面對嚴(yán)格的大學(xué)課程時(shí)，更好地調(diào)整狀態(tài);學(xué)生特別強(qiáng)調(diào)了一系列在DP學(xué)習(xí)階段所培養(yǎng)的技能，包括批判性思考，時(shí)間管理和各種研究技能”(Conley, McGaughy, Davis-Molin, Farkas and Fukuda, 2014)。

3. TEACHING LIFELONG SKILLS: By studying in the IB, students develop core skills to lead balanced and successful lives. Across the research, DP students have been cited as demonstrating the following skills:

教授終身技能：通過IB課程的學(xué)習(xí)，學(xué)生得以培養(yǎng)核心技能，從而在生活中保持平衡，獲得成功。在研究性學(xué)習(xí)當(dāng)中，學(xué)生展現(xiàn)了以下技能：

an understanding of and appreciation for research

presentation and communication skills

report writing skills

international-mindedness and cultural understanding

time management skills and organizational skills

critical thinking, inquiry, and problem solving

strong language and writing skills

a sense of responsibility for the community because of CAS

對研究的理解

演講和溝通的技能

撰寫報(bào)告的技能

國際胸懷和對文化的理解

時(shí)間管理和組織能力

批判性思考，探究和解決問題的能力

較高的語言和寫作技能

通過參與CAS項(xiàng)目培養(yǎng)的社區(qū)責(zé)任感

“Compared to their non-IB peers, DP students generally perceived their classrooms as more rigorous, participated in more extra-curricular activities and had higher educational aspirations. Preliminary findings of DP alumni indicated that this group of students transitioned smoothly to college, had strong study skills and demonstrated self-efficacy and resilience.”

與非IB課程的同齡學(xué)習(xí)者相比，DP學(xué)生普遍認(rèn)為他們的課程更為嚴(yán)格，要參與更多額外的課程活動(dòng)并且有著較高的課程要求。關(guān)于已從DP項(xiàng)目畢業(yè)的學(xué)生的初步研究發(fā)現(xiàn)這些學(xué)生在從高中向大學(xué)生活學(xué)習(xí)的過渡更為順利，有著更強(qiáng)的學(xué)習(xí)能力，同時(shí)也展現(xiàn)出更高的自我效能和韌性。- (Aldana and Mayer 2017)
