Original title: Ministry of education issues a document to eliminate the undergraduate water course professors who have not taught the undergraduate transfer out teachers for three years

4hw.org and the implementation opinions of the Ministry of education on the construction of first-class undergraduate courses published on October 31 stipulate that in the future, colleges and universities should carry out the construction of first-class undergraduate courses in an all-round way, break the one side of thousands of courses, put an end to the setting of compulsory courses according to people, and eliminate the "water course"; strictly implement the teaching system of professors for undergraduates, and transfer out the professors and associate professors who do not undertake undergraduate courses for three consecutive years Series: to improve the depth of university course learning, strictly control the examination and graduation exit, and resolutely cancel the "clear examination".

In this opinion, eight construction contents are put forward, including two or twelve reform measures centering on concept change, curriculum goal orientation, improvement of teachers' ability, reform of teaching methods, scientific evaluation of students' learning, strict system management, strengthening of incentive mechanism, and implementation of "double 10000 plan" for first-class undergraduate courses.

The opinion emphasizes that we should firmly establish the concept of "three disqualifications" and set up the "high voltage line", that is, the colleges and universities that do not pay attention to undergraduate education are not qualified colleges and universities, the secretaries and presidents that do not pay attention to undergraduate education are not qualified secretaries and presidents, and the professors that do not participate in undergraduate teaching are not qualified professors.

Excellent courses:

According to the opinion, colleges and universities should base on the needs of economic and social development and the goal of talent cultivation, optimize and reconstruct the teaching content and curriculum system, break the one side of thousands of courses, put an end to the establishment of compulsory courses for people, eliminate the "water course", and set up a new benchmark for curriculum construction. The construction of "double first-class" universities and colleges jointly established by the Ministry and the province shall clearly require academicians of the two academies, experts of the "ten thousand talents plan" of the national "thousand talents plan", winners of the "Yangtze River scholars award plan" and winners of the National Science Foundation for distinguished young scholars to build famous courses, teach basic courses and professional basic courses, and build a batch of first-class undergraduate courses with Chinese characteristics and world level.

Teachers become stronger:

In order to realize the full coverage of the basic level teaching organization, teachers should be included in the basic level teaching organization, teaching research should be strengthened, class preparation and course design should be carried out collectively on a regular basis. New teachers must go through the links of helping class, trial lecture and assessment, and obtain the certificate issued by the school training department such as the teacher teaching development center before they can lecture on the course.

Live in class:

Colleges and universities should strengthen the classroom design, solve the problem of how to speak a good lesson, put an end to the phenomenon of simple knowledge transfer and neglect of ability and quality cultivation, put an end to the simplification and formalization of the application of information technology; strengthen the interaction between teachers and students, students and students, and put an end to the phenomenon of teachers filling the classroom and students listening passively.

Students are busy:

Colleges and universities should establish a process evaluation system focusing on stimulating learning motivation and professional interest, strengthen the evaluation of students' learning in and out of the classroom, online and offline, strengthen the examination of reading quantity and reading ability, and improve the breadth of course learning; strengthen research-based and project-based learning, enrich the evaluation methods of inquiry, paper, report and reply, and improve the depth of course learning It is necessary to strengthen the non-standard and comprehensive evaluation to improve the challenge of curriculum learning; it is necessary to increase the input of college students in learning, increase the scientific burden, and let students experience the learning challenge of "one jump". The construction of "double first-class" colleges and universities, which are jointly constructed by the Ministry and the province, should expand the students' choice of courses, and strengthen the difficulty and challenge of courses.

Strict system:

Colleges and universities should strictly implement the teaching system of professors for undergraduates. Professors and associate professors who do not undertake undergraduate courses for three consecutive years should transfer out of the teacher series; strictly implement the course access system, give full play to the role of the school's Teaching Steering Committee in course control, and refuse the "water course" to enter the classroom. Strict examination discipline, strict examination and graduation export, resolutely cancel the "clear examination"; strict course quality evaluation, increase the weight of course evaluation in professional certification and teaching evaluation.

Teaching is hot:

Colleges and universities should make incentive policies with teaching contribution as the core content, increase the support of curriculum construction, increase the reward of excellent courses and teachers, increase the weight of teaching performance in professional and technical post evaluation and employment, and create a good atmosphere of paying attention to the reform and construction of undergraduate courses.

The opinions clearly put forward that, after three years or so, about ten thousand national and ten thousand provincial first-class undergraduate courses should be completed. At the same time, the opinions issued the "double ten thousand plan" national first-class undergraduate course recommendation and recognition method, which proposed to complete about 4000 online first-class courses (National top-quality online open courses), about 4000 national offline first-class courses, about 6000 National online offline mixed first-class courses, and about 1500 national virtual courses from 2019 to 2021 on the basis of university cultivation and construction The first-class courses of simulation experiment teaching and about 1000 national social practice courses are identified.

Comments:

Some netizens said that 'we agree to eliminate water courses, but actually water supply is not in people's mind'

Some netizens talked about their lessons. Some were busy and some took water lessons

Extended reading:

Wu Yan, director of the Department of higher education of the Ministry of education, said: 'we need to have first-class majors, because it is the basic unit of talent training; we need to build first-class courses, because it is the core element of talent training; we need to build a first-class team of teachers, without first-class teachers, how can we have top-notch students?'

He also "shouted" to make those low-quality majors in the school unsustainable, to lay off those low-quality, non attentive and non content classes, and to let those teachers who do not devote themselves to teaching and only care about their own growth leave the post of teachers. In a word, there is no place for 'water school, water class and water teacher' to settle down in school.

Wu Yan also revealed that in recent years, the Ministry of education should focus on the theme of higher education is to make the management of the University strict, and the education and teaching is no longer a loose state. Then a very important policy will be put forward. The professors and associate professors who do not teach undergraduate students for three consecutive years will be cleared out of the teacher series. "We want to make it difficult for the students to graduate and the courses in the school. If we can't enter the school as soon as we enter the safety box, we will graduate smoothly and profitably. If we don't study hard, we can't graduate. '
