w88 casino News Network (Correspondent Shen Dandan)In order to further implement the spirit of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and combine with w88 casino’s strategic needs to improve the quality of talent training, the Ideological and Political Education and Research Department has closely focused on the “talent training” center and continuously promoted practical teaching reform.

The "Ma Yuan" practical teaching course combines special research and free-selected topic research. A research team is formed by students from different majors. They conduct a three-week short-term research and experience simulation design, literature analysis, practical research, analysis and writing reports, classroom debate competitions, instructor comments and interactions, etc. In the process of practical investigation, the instructor assumes the responsibilities of guidance, supervision and checking through in-class and out-of-class tutoring, necessary support for investigation, and later evaluation. Students become the main body of practical teaching based on their interest in topic selection, common team goals, and new challenges they constantly encounter in practice. In this process, students' logical thinking ability, active learning ability, and practical ability are effectively tested and cultivated. Through practical research, students can not only theoretically transform the abstract ideas in their minds into practical guiding principles and logical methods, but also learn basic social research and analysis and judgment methods. It can also hone students' teamwork skills, stimulate students to fully use all kinds of knowledge they have mastered, and achieve the combination of theory and practice, the dual training of thinking and judgment ability and practical ability, and the dual improvement of responsibility and ability.

Teachers guide students

The "Ma Yuan" practical class has cultivated many college students' summer social practice projects and "Challenge Cup" projects, which are called "the most useful practice among all practices" by classmates. Teachers from the Ideological and Political Department have been serving as project instructors for student teams for many years. in2012-2013In the "Ma Yuan" practical research in the first semester of the academic year, the simulated poverty alleviation fund project was used as the topic, and poor counties in western China were selected as the carrier for project establishment analysis. Among them, the student team guided by Teacher Leping took six impoverished counties in the Dingxi region of Gansu Province as the research object. Huang Yujia and other students conducted research on the relationship between the historical and cultural traditions of Min County and the livelihood crafts of left-behind women to find ways to get rid of poverty and become rich with the "Handmade Benefit ProjectTao Embroidery Elements" project title, using simulation funds as starting funds, established basic methods of literature survey analysis and field investigation, based on a comprehensive understanding of the local historical reality, using philosophical principles as a large logical framework, compatible with the knowledge of applied disciplines such as economics and accounting, and formulated an implementation plan that is in line with local characteristics, creative, and highly operable. This project won first place in the class competition display and even passedHarvard College Association for U.S.-China RelationsHAUSCRProject selection, working with student teams from Fudan University, Nanjing University, etc.Co-invited to participate in the second "China-US Tomorrow Action Plan and Social Enterprise Summit--Harvard Action for Tomorrow Venture, this is the first w88 casino student team to participate in the Harvard competition. Instructor Le Ping developed a phased training plan for the team to fully prepare for going to Harvard at the end of March.

The design purpose of the practical teaching of the "Ma Yuan" class is to, on the one hand, make students pay attention to the current situation of Chinese society and cultivate the thinking ability and social responsibility of contemporary college students; on the other hand, it tests the ability of student teams to establish projects, analyze, investigate and present, so as to cultivate students' ability to solve specific problems, transform the basic principles of Marxism into concrete practice, and comprehensively apply the knowledge they have learned. Instructors are guides rather than leaders. Students are not passive but proactive in learning and practicing. Teacher-student interaction promotes, mobilizes and exerts students' enthusiasm, encourages students to learn independently and explore independently. The student team has taken a good step towards Harvard. With the joint efforts of teachers and students across the w88 casino, the reform of practical teaching of ideological and political courses will develop in a better direction.
