Adhere to scientific development, clarify the positioning of talent training, and fully implement undergraduate elite talent training
——President Shi Jianjun’s speech at the first symposium on undergraduate education and teaching
Today is the first lecture of a new round of discussion on education and teaching ideas in w88 casino. First of all, I would like to thank all the leaders of the colleges present, the leaders of the colleges in charge of teaching, representatives of department directors, teacher representatives, student representatives, representatives of various functional departments, and representatives of teaching and assistant departments for participating in the w88 casino’s special seminar on the positioning and specifications of talent training. Deepening the reform of education and teaching is a systematic project to cultivate high-quality talents, a potential variable for the scientific development of the w88 casino, and an important measure for the interaction between the w88 casino and its students, the interaction between teachers and students, the unification of thinking, the determination to reform, and the bold innovation. To clarify the positioning and specifications of w88 casino's talent training requires us to think, re-analyze, and re-plan based on the development situation of social economy and higher education, the vigorous revolution of new science and technology, and the scientific development and high-quality talent cultivation of w88 casino. It is of great significance to launch a new round of discussion on education and teaching ideas. The w88 casino, each teaching unit and relevant departments must deepen the discussion on education and teaching ideas according to the w88 casino's arrangements for discussion on education and teaching ideas, introduce results, and comprehensively improve the w88 casino running level and undergraduate teaching quality of w88 casino.
1. Carrying out ideological discussions on education and teaching and deepening the reform of education and teaching are the objective requirements of the development of the times, the reform of universities and the scientific development of w88 casino
First, in the stage of mass education, talent cultivation in research and teaching universities must be clearly aimed at cultivating elite talents.
In the past ten years, the scale of higher education has undergone major changes, and currently college students2400Ten thousand, the gross enrollment rate exceeds23%, theoretically higher education has entered the stage of mass education. The types of colleges and universities in the mass education stage are gradually divided into three levels, namely elite research education, popular general education and vocational skills education focusing on hands-on practice. The basic characteristics of elite education include: good student quality, low student-teacher ratio, superior educational conditions, scientific teaching methods, and the talents produced are future leaders. Based on the actual situation of w88 casino, we have reason to believe that the talents we train are elite talents. Our excellent student sources and student quality determine that we must implement elite education. Our training methods and goals are sufficient to prove that w88 casino is a boutique university with refined and modern management. Therefore, we must unswervingly position ourselves in cultivating elite talents, adhere to elite education, and cultivate high-quality, innovative, and international future leading talents.
Second, the development and competition of higher education have shifted from scale expansion to quality competition.
In the past ten years, higher education has followed the path of expansion, with the fastest growth in number, and the number of students on campus has increased from1999year100010,000 expanded to2009year2400More than 10,000, new campuses and super large universities are constantly emerging, and the average size of universities exceeds1Ten thousand people, the scale of universities is getting bigger and bigger, but the peak of the enrollment-age population in our country has passed, the turning point of enrollment scale has appeared, and the expansion stage of scale has come to an end. Facing the end of expansion, in the next stage, the pressure of competition among colleges and universities is increasing. Competition in quantity will inevitably transform into competition in the quality of education in colleges and universities. It should be said that now is the critical period for Chinese colleges and universities to begin the transformation of quality. In addition to domestic quality competition, we also face international competition. A considerable number of high w88 casino students go directly from high w88 casino to study abroad. This year, the number of students studying abroad reached 1,000, according to government statistics.18Ten thousand people, the actual scale is more than that. The development situation of higher education requires us to raise our awareness, correctly grasp the development pattern of higher education, clarify w88 casino's talent training positioning and talent training specifications, deepen teaching reform, and comprehensively improve the quality of education and teaching.
Third, the development of higher education is undergoing a profound transformation from imitation education to independent innovation education.
Our country’s development strategy is changing from a learning and catching-up strategy to an independent innovation strategy. The country's competition in the high-tech field is ultimately a competition for high-end talents. The national strategy of independent innovation objectively requires universities to provide a large number of innovative talents to society and enterprises. At present, on the one hand, there are a large number of college students waiting for employment, and on the other hand, the society urgently needs high-quality talents, which is a serious shortage, which puts forward higher requirements for w88 casino in talent training. The strength of students' innovation ability is related to social development and national prosperity, as well as to the survival and development of a university. Carrying out innovative education, deepening teaching reform, and cultivating students' innovative abilities are the historical missions given to w88 casino by the times.
Fourth, the internationalization of higher education has shifted from partial and shallow internationalization to comprehensive and deep internationalization.
In the past thirty years, the waves of economic globalization and regional economic integration have surged, and the internationalization of higher education has also undergone comprehensive and profound changes. How to move from partial and shallow internationalization to comprehensive and deep internationalization is an important proposition that universities must think about. Some universities in China have adopted the banner of "internationalization", and w88 casino even begins with the word "foreign". The characteristics of international education have always been highly recognized by the academic community. At present, in terms of student composition, international students with academic qualifications account for the total number of students in w88 casino17%around, there are currently international students in China2800 People, among whom are those with academic qualifications1800Yu people, students from developed countries such as Europe and the United States account for the total number of international students in China30% or more. In terms of international training of teachers, the w88 casino obtains teachers with overseas academic background through study abroad, further training, work, etc.300Remainder, accounting for the total number of teachers40%Above. How to make full use of w88 casino resources and rationally allocate them, establish and improve our international w88 casino support system, adhere to a more open w88 casino philosophy, and follow the path of "local internationalization" talent training is our new task.
Fifth, science and technology are developing with each passing day, and the intersection and integration of disciplines are constantly strengthening.
The development of science and technology in today's society is accelerating. Against this background, intersection and integration between disciplines have emerged, and the trend is becoming increasingly obvious. Guided by information technology, the dissemination and integration of high technology has led to the construction of new science and technology, and a large number of emerging disciplines have emerged. However, our ideas and concepts cannot keep up with the development of the times, and we are not sensitive enough to new technologies and new subjects. In this regard, we must pay attention to the derivation of interdisciplinary subjects, find growth points for subject development on the basis of existing subjects, and find new breakthroughs in subject construction through discussions of educational and teaching ideas.
Sixth, the development of modern information technology provides conditions for schools to deepen the reform of teaching methods and teaching models.
The rapid development of modern educational technology, especially the Internet and library information technology, has provided us with convenient conditions to promote the reform of education and teaching. The educational assistance conditions of w88 casino are constantly improving, and the w88 casino running conditions are constantly optimized. How to infiltrate modern educational technology into our various teaching practices to promote the reform of teaching models, reform the "full class" teaching method, and transform students' "learning knowledge" into "using knowledge" in the form of classroom teaching organization. Provide students with the ability to ask and analyze problems, give play to the leading role of teachers and the main role of students, integrate modern technology into teaching methods and teaching content, and carry out a new round of teaching reform. It is a long-term task for teachers to deepen teaching reform.
2. The goal of undergraduate talent training of the w88 casino: high-quality, innovative, and international future leading talents
Combining the development laws of higher education and the reality of w88 casino, we must unswervingly adhere to the concept of elite education and cultivate high-quality, innovative, and international future leading talents.
High quality means having broad basic knowledge, professional quality, generalization ability, and control ability. In particular, one must have high moral character, learn how to be a good person, and be a good person with a grateful heart. The famous educator Tao Xingzhi’s famous saying, “Thousands of teachings, teach people to seek truth; thousands of studies, and they learn to be real people” emphasizes the importance of “being a human being” for high-quality talents. Therefore, we must educate people in all aspects, educate people through management, educate people through services, and educate people through the environment.
Innovation means having strong creativity and divergent thinking ability. The talents we train must have strong problem-solving abilities, creative talents, and the ability to integrate and solve practical problems.
Internationalization is the characteristic of w88 casino and our specialty. We must unswervingly promote and strengthen the internationalization characteristics. To reflect our characteristics of cultivating comprehensive financial and economic foreign language talents, it cannot be "0.5+0.5”, but "1+1", we must break the old cycle, condense knowledge and direction, embody it into the new core of talent training, and allow students to receive good professional training in the professional direction. Internationalization is our goal. We have done a good job in studying abroad, and international students account for17%, more than 100 returnee teachers40%, in terms of quantity, it fully meets international standards, but in terms of quality, it is necessary to strengthen the cultivation of students' international competitiveness, so that students can truly communicate across cultures and show strong core competitiveness in competing with international talents on the same stage. At the same time, we must note that foreign languages are only means and tools, and we must have generous professional knowledge.
Future leading talents are the future leaders in all walks of life.
To this end, we must understand unity in three aspects: first, imparting knowledge is the foundation; second, enhancing capabilities is the key; third, strengthening experience is the foundation of one's life, especially in the management discipline. This requires treating the three means of achieving the above understanding, classroom teaching, extracurricular scientific and technological activities (academic, technical and artistic) and social practice, with equal importance. In class, there are norms and standards, and outside of class, there is personalized and tutoring learning. Personalized guidance must be provided to students. It is necessary to organically combine in-class and extra-curricular activities, and provide extra-curricular guidance within the classroom.
3. To deepen the teaching reform, we must achieve breakthroughs in teaching ideas, teaching concepts, educational means, teaching methods and teaching conditions
To deepen the reform of education and teaching, we must carry out all-round teaching reform from the aspects of teaching ideas, teaching concepts, educational means, teaching methods and teaching conditions.
First, reform of teaching ideas.
First, we must follow the goal of educating talents and cultivate students' all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical and aesthetics, especially aesthetic education. We must adhere to a comprehensive and complete idea of talent education and educate people with morality; second, we must strengthen general education and broaden the subject foundation,The knowledge structure of talents should be structured by using credits, and the teaching content and methods should be updated. The basic idea is to have a generous foundation, including basic knowledge of natural science, sociology, aesthetic knowledge, etc. This is an education system;College leaders are responsible for the subject or professional knowledge structure, and teachers are responsible for the teaching content of the courses; The third is to strengthen the main courses,Condensing subject direction, strengthening theoretical foundation, and enhancing capabilities; The fourth is to highlight the cultivation of abilities and improve the quality of innovation, by transforming some courses and truly using heuristic teaching; the fifth is to implement personalized cultivation and strengthen experiments and social practice links.
Second, reform of teaching concepts.
Emphasizes the interaction between teachers and students, focuses on cultivating students' self-learning ability, and advocates lifelong learning and personalized learning. Regarding the relationship between teaching and learning, someone once compared the relationship between teachers and students to that of "actor" and "audience". Teaching is two skins that cannot stick together. It is painful and there is no interaction. No matter how well the actor performs, there is no applause. We must adjust this relationship. Students are "actors" and teachers are "directors." To change the thinking and change the traditional teaching methods in the past, it is necessary to enhance the interactive links of teaching, constantly use questions to allow students to discuss, speak, and think, so that students can learn with various questions and learn to ask questions. It is also necessary to let students learn to learn, cultivate lifelong learning abilities, and benefit from them throughout their lives. Teachers can experience the joy of teaching and the joy of teaching through interaction, effectively organize teaching by using flexible teaching methods, meet the requirements of thinking training, and embody research-oriented teaching. A good teacher should know how well a student is learning without taking a test. In addition, we must comprehensively improve teaching standards through classified guidance, screening and elimination, focus on the two ends and lead the middle, provide personalized guidance, cultivate top talents through honorary bachelor's degree programs, cultivate applied talents through general education, and constantly improve our talent training system.
Third, innovation in educational methods.
Innovating teaching methods is an important guarantee for improving teaching efficiency and enhancing teaching effects. We must use books and the Internet as carriers to broaden our educational methods andUsing the book network as a carrier, rethink educational technology, enrich teaching methods, and organize teaching well. Now there is a saying:First-rate teachers teach ideas, second-rate teachers rely on itPPT, a third-rate teacher reads the textbook. The key to reform is to provide ideas, not just knowledge.Libraries and network centers should be close to teaching, teachers and students, and the teaching support department should provide an intellectual resource library to serve teaching. w88 casino's network is very advanced. While enhancing network technology services, we must build a case library and apply more rapidly developing modern technologies to the teaching process.
Fourth, innovation in teaching methods.
The reform of teaching methods requires in-depth thinking and the cultivation of students' inspiring and research-based learning abilities. Teachers should be research-oriented teaching-oriented, explore new teaching methods, and implement simulation teaching, case teaching, etc. In terms of case teaching, establish a case library and conduct a large number of case teachings. At the same time, the cases should be shared, turning the wisdom of one person into the wisdom of everyone, and turning the wisdom of high-level teachers into the wisdom of ordinary teachers, so as to achieveA synthesis of theory, practice, and experience, but refusing to repeat.
Fifth, teaching conditions should be improved.
Student cultivation is the key task of the w88 casino, and undergraduate teaching is even more top priority. At present, teaching investment is insufficient. We must further increase teaching investment, improve undergraduate teaching conditions, and improve students’ experimental conditions.Expand student activity venues, club activity venues, and build independent offices for professors,Establish a research and development teaching case group, so that teachers can use the office instead of their own homes as the main position for teaching and scientific research.
四、Put forward discussion requirements for each teaching unit and relevant functional departments
First, we must attach great importance to the discussion of educational and teaching ideas. This discussion on teaching ideas cannot be regarded as a general discussion. Each college must organize discussions at the college and department levels, mobilize at all levels, come up with ideas, come up with ideas, brainstorm, and achieve teacher-student interaction, upper-lower interaction, primary-auxiliary interaction, and jointly promote education and teaching reform.
Second, the w88 casino must treat teaching and scientific research equally. In future professional title evaluations and awards, teaching achievement awards and scientific research awards should be equally rewarded and treated equally. We cannot emphasize scientific research and neglect teaching. This is an important reason why teaching cannot improve. We must grasp it with both hands, be hard-working, and have a correct orientation in teaching and scientific research.
Third, we need to increase investment in teaching at multiple levels. We should take teaching as the baton, focus on undergraduate teaching as the center and focus, increase investment in teaching at multiple levels, spend small amounts of money to do big things, and achieve scientific investment.
Fourth, we must firmly grasp the main line of “teaching quality engineering”. Teaching itself is quality engineering. How to determine product specifications and quality standards and inspect quality engineering requires us to think deeply. It is necessary to reduce "defective products" as much as possible, and personalized education must be in place. Punishment is an art, and attention must be paid to methods. The college must do a good job in supervision and quality control in all aspects of the work, including daily classroom teaching, quizzes, test paper quality, excellence rate, etc., and must be controlled during the teaching process. At the same time, deans and department heads should know the teaching situation of teachers and make more scientific evaluations based on student evaluations.
Fifth, it is necessary to strengthen the guarantee of undergraduate teaching conditions by the teaching assistant department and the logistics department. The Department of Academic Affairs, Library, Network Center, Logistics Office and other departments must work together to provide logistical support.
Finally, I hope that through extensive and in-depth discussions on education and teaching ideas, the w88 casino's teaching units and relevant functional departments will come up with ideas, discuss ideas, and find ways to combine the actual situation of w88 casino, and turn the discussion results into operable plans and practical teaching actions, further promote the revolutionary changes in our undergraduate education and teaching, accelerate the development of the w88 casino, promote the leap-forward development of the w88 casino's teaching and research, comprehensively improve the quality of w88 casino's talent training, discipline construction, and scientific research levels, and truly build w88 casino into a high-level university.
