In the classroom
Learn China's culture, philosophy and art.
"The purpose of education is not to cultivate a working machine, but to enrich one's essence and improve one's quality of life." Hua Jie, director of chongqing technology and business university Student Affairs Office, will soon become the first dean of General Studies College. He talked about the original intention and preliminary pilot scheme of the general education college. "The existing high school education is prematurely divided into arts and sciences, and the students trained are lacking in knowledge."
In many years of teaching practice, Hua Jie found that many liberal arts students don't know much about the basic knowledge of science and engineering, while science students know little about humanities, especially literature, history, philosophy and art.
"China's higher education has entered the stage of popular education from elite education. To cultivate high-quality talents, we need to get through all aspects of knowledge. " In the training plan of general education college, the school plans to let the freshmen of Lanhuahu campus receive general education in the first year. "It is necessary to give consideration to literature, science and engineering, philosophy, history, art and other disciplines, and require students to choose enough courses and calculate credits according to the requirements of the credit system."
General education courses not only have interdisciplinary knowledge, but also include Chinese studies and fine arts.
Outside the classroom.
Experience farm work as a shareholder
"General education also includes the contents of the second class." Among the extracurricular contents formulated by the school, we will make full use of the barren hills and wasteland in the school to set up a student forest in chongqing technology and business university, which can not only plant trees, but also plant flowers and crops for college students to practice in their spare time.
General education will also be combined with chongqing technology and business university's distinctive financial characteristics. "We will invest a lot of money and energy to set up chongqing technology and business university Student Internship Management Company, make full use of students' abilities of self-management, self-innovation and self-entrepreneurship, and set up several branches in the head office. "For example, Hua Jie said that trading companies, logistics companies, advertising companies and garden companies all implement joint-stock systems, and all students in the school can raise funds to become shareholders. Shareholders are separated from management, a board of supervisors is set up, a shareholders' meeting is held, and students with family difficulties or genuine entrepreneurial will are hired to manage the operation.
"The company should manage and operate with reference to the operation mode of joint stock limited companies in society." As for the profit earned, part of it will be the labor income of managers, the first part and the second part will be the dividends of shareholders, and part of it will be set up through the shareholders' meeting for work-study programs and off-campus public welfare donations.
"The richer the menu we give our classmates, the greater the pressure on our education and teaching." Hua Jie believes that time is pressing at present, and coordination is being carried out in terms of teachers, education and teaching resources.
First of all, we will provide some public elective courses for freshmen in general education colleges. "In the future, we will gradually increase the course content and introduce excellent teachers to meet the general education needs of all students."
