It is a private university with the largest number of students, the largest scale and the strongest comprehensive strength in Jiangxi Province. (1) Guided by the transformation of educational ideas and concepts, the purpose of running a college is clear. The distinctive college adheres to the tenet of "rejuvenating the country through science and education, running schools and rejuvenating the country" and takes the establishment of non-profit and public welfare private universities as its development direction. In the practice of running a school, we have fully implemented the Party's educational policy, adhered to employment-oriented, social demand-oriented, aimed at cultivating compound talents, took the quality of education and teaching as the lifeline, firmly established the central position of employment rate in the work of the college, attached importance to connotation development, realized a virtuous circle of scale benefit and quality benefit, accumulated rich experience in running a school, and won a good social reputation. Adhering to the leadership of the Party, the College took the lead in setting up party committees, youth league committees, trade unions and teachers' congresses among private colleges and universities in the province, and achieved a sound organizational structure of the party group and achieved remarkable results. In 2003, the Party Committee of the College was awarded "Advanced Party Organization in Private Colleges" by the Party Committee of Social Affairs Department of the Provincial Education Department. In terms of personnel training, the college pays attention to the target orientation of applied talents and adjusts its majors according to the needs of economic and social development. The employment rate of graduates is high, and the one-time employment rate of graduates recruited for five consecutive years exceeds 97%. In 2003-2004, Jiangxi Province was rated as an advanced unit in employment work in the national employment evaluation of college graduates. The college has made a feasible development plan: based in Jiangxi, facing the whole country, serving regional economic construction and social development; Give priority to undergraduate education, supplemented by specialist education, give priority to engineering, and coordinate the development of multiple disciplines; Cultivate high-quality, innovative and entrepreneurial applied senior professionals. After about 10 years' efforts, a private university with distinctive school-running characteristics, high education quality, standardized management and remarkable benefits has been built, ranking first in the province and first in the country. (2) Taking the construction of teaching practice base as the center, improve the conditions and facilities for running schools. In order to meet the needs of the accelerated development of higher education, the college has greatly improved the conditions for running schools. The campus infrastructure of Yaohu New Campus has a high starting point and a high level, covering an area of 1.843 mu. There are teaching buildings, experimental training buildings, student apartment buildings, restaurants, student activity centers, libraries, gymnasiums, academic lecture halls, theaters, office buildings and so on. There are three standard track and field venues (one of which is a national first-class training base), including basketball, volleyball, tennis and other venues. The building area of the library is 34,000 square meters. Modern manufacturing technology center is listed as the national numerical control demonstration center, and the facilities of automobile experimental training center are in a leading position among undergraduate colleges in the province. The College has cooperated with more than 50 enterprises inside and outside the province 150 to establish an internship base for talent transportation and school-enterprise cooperation. Implement the "double certificate" system for academic certificates and vocational qualification certificates. With the approval of Jiangxi Provincial Department of Labor and Social Security, the College has established "blue sky university National Vocational Skills Appraisal Institute" and "Jiangxi Vocational Training Comprehensive Base", with 27 vocational post skills training qualifications and 29 vocational post skills appraisal qualifications; At the same time, there are also national CET-4 and CET-6 test sites, practical English test sites in colleges and universities (Grade A and B) and national computer grade test sites, which create conditions for students to obtain corresponding qualification certificates. (3) Focus on cultivating "double-qualified" teachers and strengthen the construction of teaching staff. Universities with strong teachers attach great importance to the construction of teaching staff and management team, and take all possible measures to attract high-level talents to form a full-time teaching staff with reasonable age and professional structure and high professional quality. At the same time, the college widely attracts top talents from universities across the country as department heads and academic leaders. Most of the members of the leading bodies at the college and department levels come from colleges and universities in the province, with the title of deputy high school or above and rich management experience in colleges and universities. The teaching management of the college is strictly standardized, and the "124" teaching quality management engineering guarantee system has been implemented for a long time (that is, focusing on improving the teaching quality, implementing the two-level responsibility system of department heads and class teachers, and grasping the four links of teacher appointment, classroom teaching, social practice and examination assessment). Through the implementation of "three highs and one low" (that is, the attendance rate of students, self-study rate and examination pass rate are high, and the accident rate of management departments is high). In order to promote the implementation of the strategy of strengthening the school with talents and ensure the quality of education and teaching, students have launched four major talent projects: young teachers' master's degree project, young and middle-aged academic backbone training project, high-level top-notch talent introduction project and "double-qualified" teacher training project. The master's degree program for young teachers aims to improve the degree level of young teachers in the college as a whole. When recruiting new teachers in the future, we will mainly recruit people with master's degree or above. The training project of young and middle-aged academic backbone aims to improve the overall quality of teachers by training outstanding young and middle-aged backbone teachers. The introduction and training project of high-level top-notch talents aims to train academic leaders of key disciplines, and through their drive and support, key disciplines will reach the advanced level in the province and even in China. "Double-qualified" teacher training project aims to meet the requirements of training applied talents and strengthen the practical guidance ability of college teachers. (D) Guided by the employment needs of students, actively promote teaching construction and reform, and achieved remarkable results. In order to make the talent training mode of the college truly reflect the requirements of employment-oriented and cultivating technical application ability, the teaching construction and reform of the college will take specialty construction as the leading factor, promote curriculum reform and teaching methods and means reform, strengthen the cultivation of professional ability and comprehensively promote quality education. Strengthen specialty construction from three aspects: (1) Pay attention to specialty setting. Guided by the social demand, on the basis of the existing school-running ability, the college adjusts its specialty settings in time so that it can always adapt to the social demand dynamically. When developing a new major, we should first investigate the social needs, put forward a demonstration report, and then formally implement it after being examined and approved by the college and reported to the Provincial Department of Education. (2) Pay attention to updating the teaching plan and make it meet the market demand through the dynamic management of the teaching plan. From 1999 to 2004, the college has been updating the teaching plan: from the three-stage teaching plan for disciplines to the compressed biscuit teaching plan for quasi-disciplines, and then to the modular teaching plan for cultivating applied talents. At present, the structure of college teaching plan consists of four basic modules and several sub-modules. (3) Do a good job in the pilot work of professional teaching reform in a planned and step-by-step manner. At present, there are 1 college demonstration major (numerical control technology) and 8 college-level teaching reform pilot majors (e-commerce, computerized accounting, computer art design, business English, electronic information engineering technology, computer multimedia and network technology, automotive electronics technology, mold design and manufacturing), and all the teaching reform pilot majors have achieved initial results. The college attaches importance to curriculum construction from four aspects: (1) Optimizing the curriculum system. Taking the cultivation of technical application ability and professional ability as the main line, three major curriculum systems, namely, theoretical teaching, practical teaching and quality education, are established, and the curriculum setting realizes credit system management. (2) Reform the course content. Based on the principle of taking application as the theme, constructing the course content according to the characteristics, reflecting the current advanced level of social technology and the qualification requirements of professional posts, and based on the reality of higher vocational colleges, the course content reform is carried out on the principle of not seeking perfection, depth, truth and usefulness. In the course content reform and course system reform, we should reorganize the course structure, optimize the teaching content and strengthen the comprehensive construction of the course according to the knowledge structure and ability elements of each major. (3) Do a good job in textbook construction. According to the "Measures for the Management of Teaching Materials in Colleges and Universities", the teaching materials of higher vocational colleges that have won provincial and ministerial awards and those published in recent three years are given priority; At the same time, the college also attaches importance to the construction of its own teaching materials. (4) Pay attention to the reform of teaching methods and means. The college breaks the traditional old "cramming" and "centralized" teaching methods, realizes the diversification and humanization of teaching methods, boldly tries out case teaching method, knowledge contest teaching method, debate teaching method, situational teaching method and goal motivation teaching method, and promotes 3S teaching mode; At the same time, multimedia technology is introduced into teaching, most full-time teachers are equipped with laptops, and the combination of traditional and modern education methods enriches classroom teaching methods. The college pays close attention to the cultivation of professional ability from two aspects: (1) pays close attention to the construction of practical teaching system. In the teaching plan, the college has defined the overall goal of vocational ability training and the goals that should be achieved in various practical training. The implementation of the training objectives requires comprehensive integration with the national vocational skill appraisal, ensuring that teachers, equipment and funds are in place, time is implemented, and organization is implemented. The opening rate of school training courses is 1.000%. Strengthen the monitoring of teaching quality and strive to improve the teaching quality. (2) Pay special attention to the assessment of professional ability. The college implements the "double certificate system" (computer grade certificate, English grade certificate, vocational qualification certificate, automobile driver's license, graduation certificate), and students of all majors are required to take the social vocational qualification examination. (V) The School of Management aims at achieving expert management team, lean management team and continuous improvement of teaching management. Over the years, it has been committed to building a group of educational management experts with rich experience in teaching management of higher education and advanced educational concepts, and building a strong management team. The college has a board of directors and a party Committee, which implements the dean responsibility system under the leadership of the board of directors. Chairman Guo Yu, aged 44, graduated from China Academy of Social Sciences with a master's degree in business economics. He was a deputy to the 9th and 10th National People's Congress, an executive member of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, a member of the Standing Committee of the All-China Youth Federation, a vice chairman of Jiangxi Federation of Industry and Commerce, and a president of Jiangxi Private Education Association. Won the titles of national model worker, top ten outstanding young people in China, outstanding builders in Socialism with Chinese characteristics, outstanding educators and top ten outstanding people in private education, with new school-running ideas, strong school-running ability and democratic style. The leading group of the college understands education, can manage, unite and cooperate, and has pioneering spirit. This is a United and pragmatic leadership group that combines the old, the middle-aged and the young. Members of the team include: Chairman, Dean, Party Secretary, Vice Presidents Wang Maoxiang, Mao, Mao, Lin, Jiao Kouyun, and assistants Hu De 'an Chuanzhen, Zhou Wanhua and Hu Jianfeng. In June 2004, 5438+065438+ 10, the college successfully passed the evaluation of talent training in higher vocational colleges organized by Jiangxi Provincial Department of Education. The expert group's evaluation of the college is: ten years of self-confidence, achieving a historic leap, building a brand and characteristics, and winning wide recognition from the society. This university was rated as excellent. (6) Taking vocational quality education as the core and comprehensively promoting quality education. The college campus is rich in cultural life, with vocational quality education as the core and promoting quality education in an all-round way. The measures are effective and the results are obvious. The college attaches great importance to the construction of "two courses", and the ideological education courses are constantly on the line; Formulating and issuing opinions on strengthening the construction of "two courses", offering "two courses" in strict accordance with the provisions of the Ministry of Education, and comprehensively carrying out the construction and teaching reform of "two courses" in the teaching and research room of "two courses" have great efforts and good results; The college attaches great importance to professional ethics education and the cultivation of humanistic quality. Combined with the training objectives of various majors, a number of elective courses for cultural quality education have been set up and included in the teaching plan for teaching and examination. The college also actively held lectures on quality education in humanities, social sciences and natural sciences, striving to improve students' quality and achieving remarkable results. The college attaches great importance to mental health education, establishes a leading group and a mental health education center, actively carries out students' psychological counseling activities, investigates students' mental health status, and establishes students' psychological files, which has achieved remarkable results. The college attaches importance to science and technology, culture, sports and social practice activities, and the student associations are well organized; The college organizes students to participate in military training and youth volunteer activities every year, and encourages students to actively participate in various scientific, technological, cultural and sports activities.
