Generally speaking, Korean universities have the following characteristics:
A complete analysis of the overall characteristics of Korean universities —— What is the distribution pattern of Korean universities? Private universities are the mainstay, supplemented by public universities? And get together? Capital circle?
Among Korean 177 universities, there are only 26 public universities, and the rest are private. What is this for our country? Born under the red flag, grew up under the red flag? China people are hard to understand. Public universities refer to universities invested by governments at all levels. According to different levels of government, public universities can be divided into national universities and Daoli University (Note: What is the basic unit of provincial administrative divisions in Korea? Tao? ) or city university, etc. National universities such as Seoul National University, Jeonbuk National University, Gunsan National University and so on. According to the classification of Chinese universities, what should these national universities be called? Key universities directly under the Ministry of Education? It fits perfectly. There are many junior colleges in Daoshi University. At the undergraduate level, Dao/City University includes Seoul City University and Incheon University (Note: Since September 2009, this university has been upgraded to a national university. ), including Incheon Specialized University, Gangwon University, Jeongnam Provincial University, Gyeongbuk Provincial University, Chungbuk Provincial University, Qingyang University, Gyeongnam Provincial Nanhai University, and Gyeongnam Provincial Juchang University. According to China's name, what should these Taoist/municipal universities be called? Provincial universities? Yes, Korean public universities not only lead the development direction of higher education, but also undertake the responsibility of fair and reasonable development of higher education. Tuition in Korean public universities is very low. Its tuition is 40%~50% of that of private universities. This can effectively ensure that children from low-income families receive higher education.
What if Korean public universities are? Have a financial meal? Yes, so what are the private universities in Korea? Self-financing? Yes In our country, eat financial meals? Some universities are easy to handle, but private universities are difficult, but this is not the case in South Korea. Most private universities in Korea have a strong consortium background. Some consortia are? Money to go to the country? For example, Samsung Group, Caoxi Zongfo Consortium and Yuanfo Consortium. These private universities supported by powerful consortia include Sungkyunkwan University, dongguk university University and Yuanguang University. These universities? Not bad money? . The annual budget of Yuanguang University, where I graduated, is about 400 billion won (about 2 billion RMB). Those private universities that are unknown, live on tuition fees and have no strong consortium background have a hard time. Coupled with the shortage of students in recent years, these institutions have difficulties in running schools and even closed down.
Are there any other interesting Korean universities? Get together? Phenomenon. Quite a few universities in Korea? Get together? In the metropolitan area. The capital circle here refers to Seoul and its satellite city. In Korea, university construction? Get together? At the same time, students are at school? Get together? . It seems that everything is fine in the capital, and the opportunities in the capital are infinite. In this regard, the author understands, but does not agree.
An analysis of the overall characteristics of Korean universities-running schools with characteristics
In our country, people seem to have an idea? What's the major of Tsinghua Peking University? . People blindly pursue these famous schools. Our country is also aimed at our national conditions? A copy? 、? Two copies? And then what? Three books? Individual enrollment construction. This objectively makes the distribution of higher education resources seriously uneven, further aggravating the three? Ben. The gap between them. The university construction in Korea is not like this. South Korea's Ministry of Education only controls the human rights and financial rights of state universities and does not interfere with the management of private universities. The Korean Ministry of Education only manages private universities in terms of policies, laws and regulations and business. As a result, Korean universities are almost in the same fair and just competitive environment.
Almost every university in Korea has its own major and fist major. National Seoul National University is famous for its law major. Most of the judges and prosecutors of the Supreme Court and the Procuratorate of South Korea have graduated here. Dongguk university's police major, Yonsei University's western medicine major, Kyung Hee University and Yuanguang University's Chinese medicine (note: Koreans call it Korean medicine. ) major, etc. Are the top majors in this field in Korea. In terms of university education and research in beauty, Gwangju Women's University has a unique and complete university education system from undergraduate to doctoral in the world. In Taekwondo, Yosemite University is a start-up institution of global Taekwondo undergraduate education, and so on. After years of fierce competition, South Korea has eliminated many universities without school-running characteristics and core advantages. Here it is. Survival of the fittest? Once again, the law is verified. This is a good inspiration for the construction of colleges and universities in China.
Next, I will briefly explain the undergraduate teaching and management in Korea.
First, the semester setting
The new school year of all formal education schools in Korea starts in spring, and so do universities. The start date of the new university academic year is fixed between March 2 and March 5 every year. Korean universities have two formal semesters a year, each semester 16 weeks. In addition, they have two special semesters, winter and summer, which are called? Seasonal semester? . Every one? Seasonal semester? The period is 1 month. Not in our country? Seasonal semester? System. It may be hard for people to understand. ? Seasonal semester? That is, universities use a short time of 1 month to give concentrated lectures to students for a certain course or several courses. It is a semester (three and a half months) course. It should have three classes a week, compressed into a month's course, and have 10 classes a week. ? Seasonal semester? Our tuition is not included in the ordinary tuition. Its tuition is calculated according to elective subjects. In this respect, the charging standards of different schools are also different. Hanyang University charges 6.5438+10,000 yuan/subject, Yuanguang University charges 80,000 yuan/subject, Gwangju Women's University charges 6.5438+6,000 yuan/subject, and so on. This will effectively ensure the implementation of flexible academic system in universities. At the same time, it also makes full use of the university facilities during the holidays and avoids the idle waste of university resources. This is worth learning and learning from in our university.
Second, the university curriculum.
Since 1997, Korean universities have fully implemented the credit bank system, which is the credit system. Different majors require different credits. The undergraduate major in humanities and social sciences is generally 144 credits, that is, 18 credits per semester on average. As for university courses, South Korea, like China, is divided into compulsory courses and elective courses, public courses and professional courses. South Korea calls the open class "* *"? Parenting subjects? , called a professional course? Specializing in subjects? .
The course selection of Korean universities is conducted online. The course selection time of each school is slightly different, but the same thing is that they are all completed before the start of the new semester. Students have great autonomy in choosing courses. They can choose related subjects and teachers independently according to the school's teaching plan and curriculum. In the first week after school starts, the students have an audition. If you are not satisfied with the audition, you can change related courses or teachers. This is often cruel to those teachers who don't give good lectures. Sometimes, will it really appear? Teacher, no students? Situation. When the number of students taking this course is small enough, the course will be closed.
The main job of a university is teaching. Since the reform and opening up, China's colleges and universities have been committed to curriculum reform. In these respects, Korea is far ahead of us. In China, bilingual teaching? It is still an exploratory work and a new thing. But it didn't happen in Korea? Bilingual teaching? Actually, it's an a? Something new? . This is reflected in two aspects, on the one hand, teaching materials, on the other hand, teachers. In terms of teaching materials, almost all of them are bilingual, namely Korean and English. At the same time, its teaching materials should refer to the teaching materials and subject development of foreign advanced countries and be updated in time every year. As far as teachers are concerned, most Korean university teachers have the experience and background of studying abroad or teaching or researching overseas. Their overall foreign language level is quite high. This ensures that. Bilingual teaching? Implement it in the classroom. Besides, because Korea is? Chinese character circle? In China, many university teachers have a strong knowledge of Chinese characters or Chinese. In fact, many university teachers in Korea are giving lectures, aren't they? Bilingual teaching? Instead of using Korean, English and Chinese characters? Trilingual teaching? . In the process of teaching, multimedia teaching began to be popularized more than ten years ago. It is absolutely rare to teach without multimedia.
In class, teachers try to give full play to students' subjective initiative and let them participate in the process of teaching and learning. Take the business administration major of Yuanguang University that I am familiar with as an example. In addition to general lectures, teachers are always divided into several groups according to chapters or topics at the beginning of each semester, and each group is responsible for explaining chapters or topics to other students. The students got a good exercise in the process of preparing lessons and teaching. Chinese majors in Chang 'an University rehearse China's plays every semester. Everyone will play a role in the relevant play. After a semester of reciting lines and rehearsing, all the students can perform a play well. At this time, their Chinese level has also been greatly improved.
Third, change majors, transfer schools and drop out of school
Many people don't adapt to their major. What should I do if I want to change majors? In Korea, it is not difficult to change majors. There are two ways to change majors, one is to re-enter after dropping out of school, and the other is to change majors directly. The latter is called. Translation? . In this regard, the regulations of each school are slightly different. Yuanguang University, right? Translation? The rule of changing majors is that only those who have completed more than 36 credits and scored an average of B(80 points) in all subjects are eligible to take the exam? Translation? . ? Translation? The credits obtained by personnel should be recognized and transferred. Transfer is also called? Translation? . This is just between schools? Translation? That's all. Transfer is not very complicated. However, most schools have to conduct selection examinations for transfer students. This will give students who failed in the college entrance examination another chance to choose again.
It is quite common to drop out of school in Korea. Most Korean men have dropped out of school to join the army during their college years. Korean men are required to perform military service. They do their duty to defend the country, so universities naturally have the obligation to keep their student status for them. In this equal world, since men can drop out of school at will, women should naturally be treated equally. In Korea, dropping out of school is the basic right of all college students. Korea is a high-income country. Most families have the financial level for their children to study abroad. Many Korean college students spend six months to one year in school to study in other countries and learn foreign languages. In China, there are tens of thousands of such Korean students every year.
Fourth, graduation.
South Korea is a country with better flexible academic system. Those college students who have completed their credits, graduation thesis or graduation design in advance can graduate in advance. Otherwise it will be postponed. Do they call it a state where you only need to finish your graduation thesis or graduation project in the last semester after completing all the credits? Before graduation? . Students take it? Pre-graduation certificate and report card, you can find a job. The employment offices or employment support centers of universities try their best to help students find jobs. To this end, universities provide students with various employment training. For example, writing skills of written test, interview, cover letter and self-introduction book, and workplace etiquette. At the same time, they provide students with all kinds of employment information as much as possible, and even build a job-seeking platform for graduates by preparing for job fairs.
