"Ten-oriented" Talent Training Concept
Education reform, ideas first. On the basis of preliminary exploration and practice, we summarize the talent training concept of the college as "ten changes", namely: (1) questioning academic spirit (questioning knowledge, questioning science, questioning teachers and questioning predecessors); (2) The academic atmosphere is relaxed (peace and equality, pluralistic thinking, freedom of interest and personality cultivation); (3) Internationalization of academic environment (academic atmosphere, original textbooks, bilingual teaching, international exchange); (4) High-end teachers (famous teachers, professors, scholars and outstanding people); (5) Miniaturization of semester classes (small-term system, small-class teaching, group counseling, quizzes and multiple lectures); (6) Interactive teaching forms (teacher-student interaction, teaching-research interaction, discussion and learning, debate and seeking truth); (7) Diversification of learning experience (across laboratories, disciplines, schools and cultures); (8) practical ability training (tutor guidance, scientific research training, field practice, social practice); (9) Popularization of quality education (traditional inheritance, national folklore, ecological life, love of family and patriotism); (10) dynamic student management (selecting the best among the best, rolling diversion, evaluation and early warning, tracking management).
Training mode with "one system, three modernizations" as the core
College enrollment and selection pay more attention to ambition, interest and ability, and the training process pays more attention to general education and internationalization, so as to lay a solid foundation for the long-term development of students' scientific research. The college implements the tutorial system, and students enter the tutorial team immediately after entering school to participate in scientific research practice, and can apply for the "British Innovation Fund" to carry out scientific research and exploration; The college takes small class teaching as the main teaching method, encourages students to ask questions and emphasizes the interaction between teachers and students; The college respects students' personality development, and strives to expand the space for students' independent choice in curriculum setting to accommodate students' diverse interests; The college attaches great importance to international exchanges and has a "British Overseas Exchange Scholarship" to fund students to exchange and study in world-class universities or scientific research institutions. According to the requirements of tutorial system, small class, individualization and international training (that is, "one system and three systems"), the training scheme is designed and the teaching is arranged according to the internationally accepted three-semester system.
The college attaches great importance to students' values education. By strengthening practical teaching, students are educated to love their home, love their country, be dedicated and contribute, so that they can have both an international vision and local feelings. With positive thinking, strict moral self-discipline, healthy life interest and sunny and harmonious behavior, students are encouraged to give full play to their specialties, show their individuality, innovate and serve the society, and cultivate their humanistic feelings of caring about human destiny and social development.
