The goal of high school study is to be admitted to college. Therefore, high school education is exam-oriented education, and the main educational methods are cramming education, book-walking and topic-sea-style. The educational goal of universities is to cultivate high-quality professionals, and the educational methods are mainly to cultivate students' sense of social responsibility, practical ability, practical ability and innovative ability. Therefore, university education is the education of inheriting and innovating knowledge.

After freshmen enter school, on the one hand, they expect to relax themselves after the highly nervous college entrance examination; On the other hand, they can't adapt to the new learning pressure, which leads to weariness of learning and loss of learning goals. Therefore, it is particularly important to establish new learning goals as soon as possible in college life. The goal is to stimulate people's enthusiasm and generate motivation for conscious behavior. Once a person has no goal in life, he will be depressed and confused. Gorky said: "The higher a person pursues, the faster his talents will develop and the more beneficial it will be to society."

(B) different learning content

The learning content in middle school is fine and there are few courses. Generally, there are only about ten courses in middle school, mainly teaching general basic knowledge. However, in university, it is very difficult to study with a wide range of contents and many courses. The courses offered by universities are divided into four levels: public courses, basic courses, professional basic courses and professional courses, and each level is composed of many compulsory courses and elective courses. Compulsory courses refer to the courses that students must study in order to complete their professional learning tasks and obtain professional degree certificates and graduation certificates. Compulsory courses include public courses, such as college English, mathematics, ideological and moral cultivation and legal basis. Students of any major must study; Compulsory courses also include professional basic courses and professional courses, which are determined according to the talent training plans of different majors. Elective courses include professional elective courses and public elective courses. The former is aimed at students of this major, while the latter is aimed at students of the whole school.

Generally speaking, there are more than 40 compulsory courses and about 60 elective courses that need to be studied in a university for five years. The courses studied in each semester are different and the content is large, and the learning task is much heavier than that in a middle school. Freshmen and sophomores mainly study public courses and basic courses, juniors mainly study professional basic courses and some professional courses, and seniors mainly study professional courses, carry out graduation design and write graduation thesis. In order to improve the quality of students in an all-round way, the school has also set up humanities elective courses, and students can only graduate after taking humanities courses according to regulations and obtaining corresponding credits.

Different learning styles

In terms of learning methods, the main way of middle school learning is classroom teaching. Every day and every class in the teaching process, teachers frequently assign very specific homework and classroom questions, and a large number of compact classroom teaching constantly strengthen the learning content that needs to be mastered. In universities, classroom teaching is relatively reduced and self-study time is greatly increased. The university also provides students with a good environment for autonomous learning, with a rich library, advanced laboratories and colorful extracurricular scientific research activities. The university's teaching plan also arranges a large number of teaching experiments, internships, social surveys, graduation projects and other teaching links.

(D) Different learning methods

In terms of learning methods, during the middle school period, teachers led students hand in hand, and teachers made meticulous and thoughtful arrangements. Many students have developed the habit of relying on teachers and only reciting. Teachers overemphasize teaching, attach importance to imparting theoretical knowledge to students, despise students' subjective initiative, and ignore or even ignore the cultivation of students' practical application ability. University teachers, on the other hand, are "guided" teaching, advocating students to learn independently and arrange their extracurricular time independently, and gradually changing from "asking me to learn" to "I want to learn", instead of adopting the tactics of asking questions and learning by rote, advocating lively learning and diligent thinking. Therefore, university education emphasizes students' autonomous learning, encourages students to discuss and study in groups, gives full play to students' potential, enhances students' sense of cooperation and cultivates students' independent thinking ability.
