2024-01-15
The cultivation work of the first batch of 30 pilot universities under the "National Excellent Plan" has fully launched the "Double First Class" construction. How to cultivate primary and secondary school teachers in universities (deep focus)? When I was young, I planted the seeds of teaching in my heart under the influence of my family. During the university stage, obtaining a teaching qualification certificate in addition to professional studies provides a clearer career plan. Now, Wang Yu, a master's student from the School of Agriculture and Biology at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, has been selected as one of the first batch of "National Excellent Program" and systematic learning teacher education courses. He is one step closer to his ideal of becoming a high school teacher. For college students who aspire to teach, the "National Excellent Program" brings more choices. In 2023, the Ministry of Education issued the "Opinions on Implementing the National Excellent Primary and Secondary School Teacher Training Plan" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions"), aiming to promote high-level universities to cultivate high-quality graduate level teachers for primary and secondary schools. The first batch of pilot programs will be undertaken by 30 "Double First Class" universities, including Peking University and Tsinghua University, with a focus on cultivating science course teachers in primary and secondary schools. At present, the first batch of student selection has been completed, and the training work in various schools is fully underway. What are the highlights of the National Excellent Plan? How to carry out teacher education in "Double First Class" construction universities? Why did the first batch of pilot programs focus on cultivating science teachers in primary and secondary schools? Why launch the "National Excellent Plan" to improve the education system for teachers with Chinese characteristics and strengthen the independent cultivation of top-notch innovative talents? Relevant officials and experts from the Ministry of Education told reporters that the "National Excellent Plan" is a positive exploration of improving the education system for teachers with Chinese characteristics. In January 2018, the Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Comprehensively Deepening the Reform of Teacher Team Construction in the New Era proposed to "establish a Chinese characteristic teacher education system with teacher training institutions as the main body and high-level non teacher training institutions participating" and "support high-level comprehensive universities in carrying out teacher education". "Normal universities and other high-level universities are important components of China's characteristic teacher education system." Wang Jiayi, a member of the Party Group, Deputy Minister, and Governor General of the Ministry of Education, pointed out that there are over 700 universities in China that offer teacher training programs, but high-level universities lack participation. The implementation of the "National Excellent Plan" aims to fully leverage the advantages of the new national system, allowing high-level universities represented by "Double First Class" construction universities to participate in teacher education in batches, and opening up new avenues for cultivating high-quality primary and secondary school teachers. The first batch of pilot universities under the "National Excellent Program" includes comprehensive universities, science and engineering universities, as well as six normal universities directly under the Ministry of Education. According to the Opinion, two training methods will be adopted: independent training by universities or joint training with normal universities. Li Yanling, Deputy Director of the Training Department of the Academic Affairs Department of Beijing Normal University, believes that involving more high-level schools in teacher education can not only leverage the disciplinary and resource advantages of each school, but also promote innovation in the teacher education system. At the same time, the "National Excellent Plan" is of great significance in consolidating the foundation of independent cultivation of top-notch innovative talents. Science education in primary and secondary schools shoulders the important mission of cultivating young people's interest in science and establishing scientific aspirations. At the end of 2021, a survey conducted by the Ministry of Education showed that over 70% of primary school science teachers have non science and engineering backgrounds, and their professional teaching and practical abilities urgently need to be improved.
