He Xiaodong, a student at the w88 casino of international economics and w88, and a group of senior students who are about to leave w88 casino received a special report card. On this report card, there is his past48716_8744

As one of the first pilot universities in the country to release the “Second Classroom Transcript” of the Communist Youth League, the issuance of this special transcript is the result of the w88 casino20129801_9875
What kind of activities can help students develop
For a long time, Tao Haofei, secretary of the Youth League Committee of the w88 casino, faced a confusion: What kind of activities are really useful to students?
In his memory, there are many activities organized by students every year. In order to enrich students' college life, he once approved one after another with a stroke of a pen that he himself was not very satisfied with.
“What are the student evaluations? Do you really benefit from it? Does it meet their growth needs? "Faced with such a question, Tao Haofei has no answer. He doesn't even know how many student activities the w88 casino has held in one w88 casino year. "It's over after one activity. It doesn't seem to leave any traces."
Entertainment, fragmentation, and fast food, this is what Tao Haofei labeled his former student activities. College students who lack cognitive management of their own development are often prone to follow such entertainment activities. Tao Haofei thinks this is not a good thing.
He was once "difficult" about something.
That night, the w88 casino held two activities at the same time. One was a lecture by a famous academician on how to learn mathematics well, and the other was an entertainment event brought by a young star. What surprised him was that in the academician classroom, which could accommodate a thousand people, only two to three hundred students participated, but the event site involving young stars was full of people, and even the aisles were full of people.
Tao Haofei realized that this situation must change. "We cannot measure the success of an event solely by the number of participants. As a w88 casino, we hope that students can gain tangible benefits from every activity they participate in, so that students can truly be exercised and improved to the greatest extent in the activities."
In his view, when students’ interests are inconsistent with their own growth, the w88 casino youth league committee should play a balancing role. “We must pay attention to the guidance and education of students’ comprehensive quality development, cultivate and serve students in a planned way, rather than being led by students. The Youth League Committee must not only change the fragmented and random nature of student activities, but also establish a complete and systematic model of student activities so that our students can become better when they leave w88 casino in their senior year.
However, changing the tendency of student activities to be too entertainment-oriented is easy to say but not easy to do. How can the Communist Youth League of colleges and universities be effectively integrated into the talent training pattern of the w88 casino? How to make college group study activities better meet students' needs for growth and success?
This kind of thinking is the original intention of the Second Classroom report card system. "What kind of activities do students need? Which activities have high added value for their growth and development? We hope to have a visual and quantifiable result."
In fact, the exploration of the second classroom transcript was as early as2011The year has begun.
That year, the Youth League Committee of the w88 casino conducted a one-year survey. On campus93Students involved on working days8More than 10,000 people, total689carried out research on the activities, and then they also surveyed the country63Relevant work in 15833_15873| universities was investigated. After a year of research, the w88 casino’s Youth League Committee began to prepare for the establishment of a new Youth League activity system.

Students protested in the first year of implementation
At first, some students were resistant to such a system that had yet to see results.
“Our first class already has a lot of tasks, and the w88 casino’s second and third classes have added so many tasks and have to calculate credits. How can we have so much time and energy.” Some students complained.
Such a problem has long been thought of by Chen Ling, director of the Youth League Committee Office of the w88 casino. As the main participant and designer of the Second Classroom report card system, she has already "settled the accounts" for the students.
“Every time you listen to a lecture, you can get the corresponding category0.2Credit points. You can get credits of different values by participating in various competitions and volunteering.4Complete in year10Credit hours, on average, they don’t participate in many activities in one semester, and they don’t take up too much time. ”
After a period of time, when students gradually received some credits, they began to understand that the second classroom was not a "burden" for them, but a system design that could benefit them.
He Xiaodong has been aware of the w88 casino’s regulations regarding the “Second Classroom Report Card” since he first entered the w88 casino, but he admitted that he did not pay much attention to this guidance plan during his freshman year, and more often chose to participate in activities he liked based on his own interests and hobbies.
In his sophomore year, He Xiaodong checked the "Second Classroom Transcript" and found that his credits in some aspects were still blank, so he began to pay attention to the balance of participating in various types of activities.
“Once I listened to a lecture on the use of library databases. At first, it was just to make up for my credits in such activities. But after listening to the lecture, I discovered that the w88 casino library database has so many resources. Later, when using it, I felt that w88 casino The library's investment in this area is really amazing." He Xiaodong said, "Many students only started to pay attention to the library database when they were writing their thesis in their senior year, and they often didn't know how to use it proficiently. Listening to that lecture in the second semester of my sophomore year gave me a lot of help when I was writing my thesis."
Zheng Xiankai, a senior law w88 casino student, also said when talking about the "Second Classroom Transcript" that he did not realize the true significance of this platform during his freshman and sophomore years. He simply participated in it as a w88 casino task, and there were many classmates around him who had the same idea as him.
Later, he participated in more activities, especially some off-campus activities. After comparison, Zheng Xiankai not only felt the convenience of this platform, but also began to understand the purpose of the w88 casino. “This platform can very well connect individual students and organizations, and we can get a lot of useful information from it,” he said.
In addition to students’ “protests” and “sluggishness”, Tao Haofei and his colleagues also faced more difficulties in the process of implementing the “Second Classroom Report Card”.
The course selection system alone has troubled the w88 casino league committee, "How to select students, how to record them, and how do we know whether students come?"
In order to develop an adapted course selection system, Chen Ling has lost count of how many days and nights she spent in the conference room repeatedly communicating with technical staff about system requirements.
“It looks like a report card, but behind it is the coordination of relevant mechanisms and cooperation between multiple departments and other issues. How to select courses, score, and evaluate? It is necessary to establish a complete online platform.” Tao Haofei said, “We have few people and limited initial funds. In the beginning, there were quite a lot of difficulties.”
Launch personalized activities based on student needs
Today, the w88 casino has built a complete "Second Classroom Transcript" system. So far, the activity platform system has integrated and built ten platforms including ideological guidance, general education, international training, campus culture, community activities, practical education, academic research, volunteer service, employment and entrepreneurship, and elite growth. Each platform has a variety of different activities. Each activity has a corresponding credit value. Students can choose the activities they want to participate in at any time during the w88 casino year. Change the assessment of students' participation in the second and third classes from implicit consideration to explicit assessment, and set up a quantitative credit assessment system, consisting of compulsory courses8Credit points (campus activities, social practice, volunteer service) plus elective courses2The composition model of credits (academic research, student competition, and academic training), upgraded to a required course9Credit plus elective courses1The credit composition model adjusts participation in academic research activities to the credit assessment items of compulsory courses.
It is worth noting that the credits of the "Second Classroom Transcript" are not linked to on-campus incentive mechanisms such as postgraduate guarantees and scholarships. "We do not want to provide any utilitarian guidance. We hope to follow their interests and develop according to the needs that are beneficial to their growth and success." However, the transcript also stipulates a minimum guarantee system,4After one academic year, every student should take enough courses10credits, "If you don't complete enough, you will not graduate."
In the actual operation of the "Second Classroom Transcript", some issues are constantly being adjusted and improved.
For example, in the process of carrying out the "Second Classroom Report Card", some students have the need to learn a certain small skill. They are not members of a certain club, but are simply interested in a certain activity of the club and want to learn knowledge and skills in this area.
In response to such needs that are beneficial to students, the "Second Classroom" platform responded promptly, and the "Huixue Micro Classroom" came into being. "Encourage and support some students with relevant skills, organize and open corresponding courses, and carry out activities through such a peer education method. Both the course provider and the class can get corresponding credits, and the effect is very good." Chen Ling said.
"Second Classroom" not only does addition, but also sometimes subtraction. "We feel that some commercial activities are a waste of students' energy and have little significance for their growth, so we will cut them off without hesitation," Tao Haofei said.
Tao Haofei hopes that through such a system, student activities can be well regulated. For example, entertainment activities will be moderately reduced, and some vigorous activities with only a small number of people participating and most students as spectators will be reduced, and replaced with activities that can meet individual needs and allow more students to participate. “Theoretical biweekly meetings are a very popular event. There are not many people at each event. There are only ten or twenty people in the conference room to discuss current hot issues, but everyone has the opportunity to speak and share.”
Students can also experience the fun and rewards of participating.
"Compared with the scores on the report card, I feel that more gains are reflected in participating in activities." Zheng Xiankai said that the volunteer service platform has been of great help to his development. University4In the past year, he has participated in many volunteer service activities almost without interruption. He feels that as a volunteer, he has value to others. The happiness gained in the process of helping others cannot be replaced by points for him. Now he has decided to apply to join the "graduate student support teaching" team after graduation and go to the west for one year of training.
“The ideological guidance platform not only has traditional projects that are both “red and professional”, but also has projects specially designed for us90Post-designed youth forum courses... The student scientific research and social practice platform allowed me to discover more possibilities for majors outside the classroom. I won the first prize in the National College Student Mathematical Modeling Competition through a unique and creative plan. I also visited people in the field of fashion and lifestyle20Multiple start-ups...Using the professional knowledge I have learned to exert value in the fields of interest is the happiest thing for me..." Gong Yixiao, a senior student at the International Business w88 casino, said at the "Second Classroom Transcript" release ceremony.
In the process of running the "Second Classroom Report Card", not only the students but also the w88 casino league committee benefited.
"The Communist Youth League organization of our colleges and universities has become more scientific, standardized and precise, gradually transforming from the previous 'activity group' to a 'functional group'. Our second classroom activities are carried out in an orderly manner. The all-round transformation of the Communist Youth League work by network new media technology has made students' work more precise. The participation of students in each activity and the evaluation feedback after the activity are clear at a glance." Tao Haofei said. This change allows them to better understand the needs of students and better understand their characteristics.
“We will know the needs of students through big data analysis. For example, we know that boys prefer academic activities, girls like literary activities, and students majoring in finance or w88 prefer academic lectures.” Chen Ling said that with such data analysis, the w88 casino youth league committee can be more targeted and carry out activities more targeted.
“One aspect of deepening the reform of the Communist Youth League in colleges and universities is service+Leadership, simple service can only make students love it temporarily, but cannot remember it forever, and we hope that through this form, the group study activities can benefit students in the long run. "Tao Haofei said.(China Youth Daily·China Youth Online reporter Chen Fengli, intern Du Yimeng)
