Recently, various forums have been publishing articles to spread the news released by this national standard, but the national standard has actually been delayed repeatedly. There are many considerations behind it, such as whether it is necessary, what is its significance and influence, what is its positive role, what is its negative role, how we should implement it, and how to maintain our own characteristics in the implementation. These are all things that we must think about when implementing. It should also be one of the original intentions of the producers.
The National Standard for the Teaching Quality of Undergraduate Specialty in Colleges and Universities is the first national standard for the teaching quality of higher education issued nationwide and globally.
Undergraduate education is the foundation of higher education, and specialty is the basic unit and platform for talent training. At the press conference held on the 30th, Yanwu, director of the Department of Higher Education of the Ministry of Education, introduced that to improve the talent cultivation ability of colleges and universities, it is necessary to establish national standards for undergraduate teaching quality, realize the government's management by standards, colleges and universities' running by standards, the society's supervision by standards, and strengthen guidance, construction and supervision by standards.
What are the characteristics of the formulation of national standards?
The national standard promulgated for the first time has three characteristics:
First, there are both "rules" and "space".
Can be summarized as prescribed actions and optional actions. The so-called "prescribed action" is to put forward unified requirements for various professional categories and ensure basic quality. The so-called "optional action" is to set aside enough space according to the training characteristics of various professionals, so that the image is "guaranteed."
Second, there are both "bottom lines" and "goals".
It not only puts forward the basic teaching requirements for all majors, that is, "grasping the bottom line and ensuring qualification", but also puts forward the forward-looking requirements for improving quality, that is, "pursuing Excellence";
Third, there are both "qualitative" and "quantitative".
It not only puts forward qualitative requirements for various professional standards, but also pays attention to quantitative indicators to make them comparable and verifiable.
Socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era. Higher education in China is also in the process of changing from learning from others to innovation. In this process, the introduction of this standard will certainly promote the improvement of the overall level of higher education in China, and it is also contributing to the China standard and making China sound to the whole world.
"Quality is king, standard is the first". The key to the connotative development of higher education is to firmly grasp the "program" of improving quality. The construction of educational standards is the basic project to improve the quality of education.
