First, the types of education are different.
Ordinary undergraduate and applied undergraduate are two types of undergraduate education, and their relationship should be developed in parallel. Compared with ordinary undergraduate courses, application-oriented undergraduate courses have distinct technical application characteristics.
Second, the educational standards are different.
Ordinary undergraduate courses train subject-oriented, academic and research-oriented talents, while applied undergraduate courses train high-tech applied talents to meet the front-line needs of production, construction, management and service.
Third, the education mode is different.
Ordinary undergraduates train specialized talents in theoretical fields, while application-oriented undergraduates aim at meeting social needs, design students' knowledge, ability, quality structure and training scheme with the main line of cultivating technology application ability, build a curriculum and teaching content system with "application" as the theme and characteristics, and attach importance to the cultivation of students' technology application ability.
Generally speaking, applied undergraduate education is a higher level of technical education and an important part of higher vocational education in China. It is relative to ordinary undergraduate and higher vocational education. It is different from ordinary four-year undergraduate and higher vocational colleges.
The reason and nature of establishing application-oriented undergraduate course;
First, set the reason.
In order to meet the needs of society, college graduates must continue their studies, while the proportion of 65,438+05% undergraduates who are selected for general education is far from the realistic requirements. Strict policy requirements make it impossible for more than 85% college students to continue their studies in accordance with general education. In order to meet the needs of students, the national education administrative department has specially set up an applied independent undergraduate course to provide learning opportunities for college students.
Second, nature.
Application-oriented undergraduate course belongs to the category of national unified examination enrollment, which occupies the enrollment quota of national general college entrance examination (pay attention to the difference between independent undergraduate course and China in self-study examination). Application-oriented undergraduate education belongs to a higher level of technical education and is an important part of higher vocational education in China.
The graduation certificate of applied undergraduate course is equal to that of ordinary undergraduate course, which means that the gold content of applied undergraduate course and ordinary undergraduate course is equal, and it is also suitable for postgraduate entrance examination, civil service examination, going abroad and other opportunities.
