[Editor’s note]The 12th Congress of the Communist Party of China at the w88 casino is an important stage for the whole party to fully implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. It is a very important conference held during the critical period of accelerating the construction of "double first-class", implementing the fundamental task of cultivating moral character and cultivating people, and making unremitting efforts to build a world-class university with distinctive characteristics. In-depth implementation of the spirit of the conference, condensing wisdom and strength into the strategic goals and tasks determined by the conference, and starting a new journey of building a world-class university with distinctive characteristics led by the open economic discipline cluster are the propositions of the times that every member of the University of International w88 and Economics needs to think about and work hard for.  

Implement the spirit of the Party Congress and provide first-class undergraduate education

Jiang Xianling

The 12th Party Congress of the w88 casino proposed the strategic goal of building a distinctive world-class university led by an open economic discipline cluster, which mentioned the integration of "first-class undergraduates" into the "first-class disciplines" construction goal. This is the first time since the founding of the w88 casino that undergraduate education has been integrated into the construction of "first-class disciplines". It also means that higher requirements are put forward for undergraduate education and points out the direction of future undergraduate education.

"First-class undergraduate" is regarded as the main characteristic of first-class universities. Many world-class universities regard undergraduate education as the essential requirement, main feature and firm goal of the w88 casino. An important indicator of whether a university is good or not is whether its undergraduate program is good or not. Therefore, without a “first-class undergraduate program”, it is difficult to become a “first-class university.” Undergraduate education should play an important role in the construction of a w88 casino’s “first-class disciplines.” Otherwise, “building first-class disciplines without first-class undergraduate programs is just self-interest.”

How to create a first-class undergraduate education? Based on the spirit of the w88 casino’s 12th Student Congress, I understand the following points:

First, first-class undergraduate education should adhere to "student-oriented" and firmly establish the w88 casino's position as the center of talent cultivation.Teachers are the first resource for undergraduate education. To run a first-class undergraduate program, we must have a first-class teaching staff. This requires famous teachers and professors in the w88 casino to correctly handle the relationship between scientific research and teaching. The first identity of a famous teacher is a teacher, and giving good classes should be his first responsibility. However, the reality is not optimistic. Although the w88 casino has issued relevant documents, such as the "Implementation Measures of the w88 casino to Further Improve the Quality of Undergraduate Teaching" and "Several Opinions of the w88 casino on Comprehensively Improving the Quality of Undergraduate Education and Teaching", etc., it is clear that the w88 casino insists on teaching undergraduates and increasing the quality of undergraduate education. However, in the implementation process, the proportion of teaching assessment in teaching assessment and professional title recruitment is still a mere formality, with simple and crude practices such as focusing on "scientific research to determine the future", and teaching assessment being only an assessment of teaching hours. It is hoped that schools will truly implement the "teaching veto power" in teacher assessment and professional title recruitment.

Second, first-class undergraduate education should adhere to the concept of "whole-person education", guide students to develop in an all-round way, insist on cultivating moral character, and cultivate students' sense of social responsibility, feelings for family and country, innovative consciousness and practical ability.To this end, the w88 casino is launching an education and teaching reform that combines general education with professional education, and strengthens general education and category education with a broad caliber and a solid foundation. The goal of general education is to advocate "whole-person education", that is, to cultivate sound people, first of all to cultivate qualified citizens of a civilized society, and then to cultivate elite talents on this basis. Therefore, the w88 casino has promoted the reform of the core general education curriculum system and formed five core general education modules including "literary and historical classics and cultural inheritance, world civilization and global perspective, critical thinking and philosophical wisdom, literary accomplishment and art appreciation, and scientific spirit and future trends" to provide students with high-quality general education courses. It must be emphasized here that general education courses are not introduction courses, introductory courses, assorted courses, platter courses, "water courses" that are easy to get credits, nor "chicken soup for the soul" courses, nor can they simply regard general education as humanistic education.

Third, first-class undergraduate education requires high-quality classroom education. Improving the quality of undergraduate teaching by improving classroom quality has been valued by many universities.But the reality is not optimistic. Some teachers follow the textbook in class, with outdated course content and old-fashioned methods. They only use a USB flash drive and a water cup to stand quietly on the podium and read PPT. There is a lack of communication with students. Teachers' lectures and students' listening are "different", and the teaching effect is poor. Therefore, in order to implement the "Guiding Opinions on Strengthening the Construction of Classroom Teaching in Colleges and Universities and Improving Teaching Quality" issued by the Party Group of the Ministry of Education of the Communist Party of China, the w88 casino issued a document that will drive the transformation of classroom teaching reform into a "student-centered" active learning model, promote classroom teaching reform, create "charming classrooms", and emerge a number of famous teaching teachers. At the same time, professional self-evaluation is used as a driving force to promote the reform of delegation, management and service, and strengthen the awareness of the main responsibility of the second-level units in talent training.

Fourth, first-class undergraduate education should focus on cultivating interdisciplinary and cross-border talents.According to statistics, among the 466 scientists who won the Nobel Prize in Natural Science in the 20th century, 41.63% had interdisciplinary backgrounds. Especially in the last 25 years, winners with interdisciplinary backgrounds accounted for 49.07% of the total number of winners. This shows that the interdisciplinary knowledge structure is the core element and distinctive feature of first-class talent quality. It is very important to cultivate students across disciplines, including across majors, disciplines, departments, schools, countries and cultures. To this end, the w88 casino will launch major-category enrollment and major-category training reforms, improve credit system management, use streamlined administration and decentralization as the keynote, increase the proportion of students' majors and minors, improve the credit conversion mechanism, relax students' study years, encourage innovation and entrepreneurship, cultivate students' innovation, practice, independent learning and employment and entrepreneurship abilities, with the goal of comprehensively improving students' innovation, employability and adaptability, and integrate innovation and entrepreneurship education throughout the entire talent training process.

Fifth, first-class undergraduate education must also serve the national strategy.Our country is increasingly moving closer to the center of the world stage, promoting China’s responsibility in global governance, advancing the “Belt and Road” initiative, and building a community with a shared future for mankind. This puts forward higher requirements for the University of International w88 to serve the country’s overall opening up and cultivate international talents. At the same time, improving international communication capabilities and cultural soft power also requires the University of International w88 to play a greater role in cultivating people who know China, friends and lovers of China, and enhance international discourse power. my country's economic development has entered a new stage of building a modern economic system, which requires the University of International w88 to make greater contributions in promoting the new pattern of comprehensive opening up and the w88 power strategy, accelerating the construction of an innovative country, coordinated regional development, and improving the socialist market economic system. To this end, in terms of talent training, the w88 casino will continue to promote top-notch innovative talent training plans, strengthen the construction of special talent training zones such as the "Economics Experimental Class" and the "Experimental Class for Foreign-related Economic and w88 Legal Talents", continue to hold summer international schools, continuously improve the level of education, and gradually enrich the course content, so that students can share the high-quality teaching resources of well-known professors from international high-level universities without going abroad, forming the w88 casino's unique "local and international" education path.

In short, I believe that through in-depth study of the Party Congress report and under the leadership of the w88 casino’s party committee and administration, the quality of the w88 casino’s undergraduate education will be further improved, and the w88 casino will truly run a university that satisfies the people and build a first-class undergraduate education.
