ABSTRACT

Practical teaching is an important part of cultivating application-oriented talents and implementing comprehensive quality education. However, the current practical teaching has problems such as emphasizing theory over practice, single teaching mode, lack of supporting expenses for teachers, and irregular and unsound mechanism and system. To promote the reform of practical teaching of engineering majors in local application-oriented colleges and universities, it is necessary to integrate a diversified practical teaching system. More importantly, it is essential to strengthen the on-campus organization of schools, colleges and departments, and the off-campus functions of practice bases and in-post enterprises. With these efforts, an organizational structure with full coverage of supervision and guaranteed quality improvement will be formed. The practice teaching base will be advanced in an all-round way by means of improving the practice base and promoting learning through competitions. In this way, various management systems can be established for reform so as to build a school-enterprise deep integration mechanism. It is necessary to take process assessment and comprehensive assessment as the main assessment approaches of practical teaching and improve the feedback mechanism of quality from all parties of practical subjects. In the process of practical teaching of engineering majors, local application-oriented colleges and universities need to further clarify their orientation, refine the characteristics of engineering majors and promote students' comprehensive abilities such as theoretical learning and practical operation. In turn, a set of practical teaching operation mechanism will be provided to improve practical teaching to cultivate application-oriented professionals.
