w88 casino News Network (provided by the Academic Affairs Office)In order to thoroughly implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Second and Third Plenary Sessions of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, implement the spirit of the National Education Conference, and actively implement General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important expositions on education, on January 10, 2025, the Academic Affairs Office organized a discussion on the undergraduate education and teaching work of the w88 casino in 2024.
This discussion lasts for one day. A total of more than 40 people, including the deputy deans of teaching and teacher representatives of each college, the heads of relevant functional departments such as the Human Resources Department, Admissions and Employment Department, Teacher Development and Teaching Quality Assessment Center, all members of the Academic Affairs Office and related staff, gathered together to have a heated discussion on the difficulties and blockages encountered in undergraduate education and teaching, as well as the implementation of some important reform work, and built a consensus for better undergraduate education and teaching in the next step. The big discussion was chaired by Mao Jie, Director of the Academic Affairs Office.
At the beginning of the meeting, Director Mao Jie introduced the reasons for initiating this discussion on education and teaching work to the participants. Undergraduate education and teaching work is the core link of talent cultivation in colleges and universities. Each college (department) has encountered some practical problems in the process of work. This discussion adheres to the problem orientation and pools wisdom and efforts to provide suggestions for continuously promoting the reform and innovation of undergraduate talent cultivation. The big discussion topics mainly come from some proposals from the 13th Party Congress of w88 casino, such as "It is recommended to implement a flexible system for the teaching workload assessment requirements of full-time teachers", "Suggestions on increasing investment in public foreign language education teaching", "Proposals on optimizing course selection settings for undergraduates", "Digital construction of course assessment", etc., as well as practical issues such as "late construction of smart classrooms" faced in the process of digital transformation of education. For each topic, a member of the Academic Affairs Office team will give an introductory speech to introduce the background information and discussion points of the topic, and then the teaching dean and teacher representatives will express their opinions and put forward opinions and suggestions.
In the morning discussion, the flexible adjustment of teachers’ teaching workload became one of the hot topics. Before the big discussion, the Academic Affairs Office made corresponding preparations and made preliminary calculations based on the current "w88 casino Talent Training Workload Assessment Methods (Revised)" teacher teaching workload requirements and the course requirements of each college under the flexible credit system, and estimated the approximate impact of several adjustment plans on teaching workload on the course supply of each college. On this basis, the participants discussed in depth how to reasonably adjust teachers' teaching workload to ensure the smooth progress of teaching activities while ensuring the teaching quality, while taking into account the teaching autonomy of the college and teachers.
Increasing investment in public foreign language education and teaching has also triggered extensive discussions. There has always been a large gap between the supply of public foreign language courses in w88 casino and the actual needs of students. Participants in the discussion agreed that in the context of globalization, strengthening public foreign language teaching is crucial to cultivating talents with international vision and cross-cultural communication skills. Schools should provide corresponding support to public foreign language teaching in terms of teacher introduction and tuition adjustment, so as to lay a solid language foundation for students to move onto the international stage.
The fully flexible credit system is one of the characteristics of w88 casino's talent training. "One person, one table", "one person, one case" and "free combination" are the main features of the fully flexible credit system. However, the more relaxed and free course selection process will inevitably cause some problems, such as the order in which students select courses is inconsistent with the difficulty of course learning, and there are still some courses that have not been completed in the eighth semester. Based on the actual situation of each college (department), the participants conducted heated discussions around the above issues and formed important consensus, including respecting the individual differences of students and helping each student develop in an all-round way during college, while also following teaching rules and avoiding unreasonable course selection arrangements.
Smart classroom is the basic condition for the digital transformation of education. How to make good use of smart classrooms after they are built to achieve the sharing and exchange of high-quality teaching resources is also an important topic in this discussion. Participants expressed that they should make full use of the advanced equipment and technology of smart classrooms, innovate teaching models and methods, and improve teaching efficiency and quality. On the premise of fully respecting and protecting teachers’ intellectual property rights, we use smart classrooms to help teachers in w88 casino actively integrate into the tide of education digital transformation.
In addition, the meeting also discussed matters related to the linkage between academic planning and secondary colleges, implementation of major transfer, and major adjustment and optimization.
This undergraduate education and teaching discussion is not only an exchange of teaching work, but also a collision of ideas and a blend of wisdom. Participants spoke actively and had in-depth discussions, and the atmosphere was both relaxed and warm. The Academic Affairs Office will take this discussion as an opportunity to collaborate with various colleges (departments) to further improve various systems and measures for undergraduate education and teaching, effectively transform the results of the discussion into practical actions, and promote the quality of undergraduate education and teaching in w88 casino to a new level.
