Undergraduate Talents Cultivation
Talent cultivation is the fundamental task of colleges and universities, and the foundation of their establishment and development.Xi Jinping stressed at a national ideological and political conference that only universities that train first-class talents can become world-class universities.Facing the historical orientation of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, how to reconstruct the undergraduate talent training system according to the new requirements of the new era.
As a local comprehensive university, Yangzhou University has set the overall goal of "building a first-class, internationally-known and distinctive high-level research university" in 2016.
Build a system around the theme of Lide Shue people
To build a first-class undergraduate talent training system, we must first carry out and implement the basic task of Lide Shou people deeply.The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward: "We should carry out the Party's educational policy, implement the fundamental task of building people's virtue, developing quality education, promoting educational fairness."This strategic arrangement not only points out the direction for the development of higher education in China, but also provides basic guidance for the training of talents in colleges and universities.In the process of building world-class universities and first-class disciplines in our country, it is a fundamental question that universities should always answer well.In order to answer this question well, we must firmly establish and deeply implement the basic task of Lide Shouren, and carry Lide Shouren through the whole process of talent training.
For a long time, Yangzhou University unswervingly adheres to and strengthens the Party's leadership in all aspects of the school's work, implements the basic task of Li De Shou people.We will continue to deepen the reform of ideological and political theory, constantly improve the "two departments and one center" system of ideological and political work, and strive to change from "ideological and political curriculum" to "curriculum and politics".
Adhering to the "student-centered" educational philosophy to lead the system
The thought of "student-centered" education is the concrete practice of implementing the thought of "people-centered" development of the 19th CPC National Congress.Students are the core indicators to test the level of running a university, and the key fulcrum to improve its ability to educate people.Therefore, to build a first-class undergraduate talent training system, we should always adhere to the "student-oriented" as the central point, adhere to the "quality as the fundamental" as the landing point.
In recent years, Yangzhou University has firmly established the concept of student-based education, adhered to the standards of sustainable development, all-round development and personality development.In 2017, Yangzhou University won nine higher education achievements awards in Jiangsu Province, two of which won the first and second prize, respectively, which is another latest step in the continuous deepening of the educational reform.
In the new era, universities should seize the opportunity, never forget the initial intention of educating people, firmly grasp the core point of improving the quality of talents training.
First, more emphasis should be placed on innovation-Through deepening the reform of research teaching, promoting the integration of science and education, strengthening the innovation consciousness, innovation spirit and innovation ability of students.
Second, more emphasis should be placed on practical orientation.For some applied disciplines and majors, students' practical ability and social adaptability will be strengthened by further deepening the cooperative training of schools and enterprises.
Third, it is more outstanding and excellence.We are committed to developing innovative and entrepreneurial talents with broad knowledge, broad skills and generous qualities, and strive for a new breakthrough in the development of excellent legal and medical talents.
Fourthly, students should be more self-directed.Through the reform of major transfer out of the threshold, general core and elective courses, school hours and so on, increase students' right to study.
Unveiling the School's Characteristic Construction System
Constructing the first-class undergraduate talent training system should always adhere to and show the school running characteristics.According to the China Higher Education Quality Report published by the Ministry of Education in 2016, China will enter the phase of higher education popularization in 2019.When a country's higher education develops to an advanced stage, it must be diversified higher education of "flowering flowers" rather than a single "isomorphic" higher education.In particular, different types of schools can become "national teams" and become benchmark universities of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.
Undergraduate education is the most important foundation of cultivating first-class talents and reflects the school's tradition and characteristics.Through many years of exploration and practice, Yangzhou University based on local comprehensive universities, inherit and carry forward fine traditions, fully highlight the characteristics of running schools.
In the new era, the school will deepen the comprehensive reform, stand in the training of first-class undergraduate talents, comprehensively review and plan the undergraduate teaching work, improve the top-level design.
Adhering to the education law guarantee system
For colleges and universities, the ultimate goal of constructing talent training system is to further improve talent training ability and cultivate high-quality first-class undergraduate talents.Therefore, we must follow the general principles of higher education, pay more attention to the direction of innovation, practice and quality; from the perspective of methodology, we must not only grasp the direction, but also find the point of entry.
For Yangzhou University, in the construction of "high-level research-oriented university", training first-class undergraduate talents has been the main goal, to improve the ability of talent training as the core mission.We strive to build a first-class talent training system with flexible mechanisms, focus on individuality, diversity of choices and characteristics from eight dimensions: advanced school philosophy, adaptability to social needs, achievement of training goals, support of conditions, quality assurance.
Yangzhou University will continue to write a "pencil of progress" for undergraduate talents training in local universities, and strive to create first-class talents with great virtue, great wisdom, atmosphere and bright brand.
