Abstract:It is imperative to improve the teaching competence of teachers in colleges and universities, but there are still many problems for front-line teachers in different stages and states. From the perspective of the front-line teachers in colleges and universities, the concept of "teaching competence of college teachers" is defined according to the boundary definition method, that is, the competence of the front-line teachers in colleges and universities to complete the teaching design, teaching implementation and evaluation of teaching, and their own teaching expertise, including knowledge, skills and attitudes. This competence has a multi-level upgrade space from novice level to advanced beginner level, competent level, proficient level and expert level, which includes both gradient and mutation. Based on the task characteristics and personal characteristics, we construct the multi-level goal of improving the teaching competence of college teachers, that is, to improve the teaching design, implementation and evaluation ability, as well as to strengthen the knowledge base, develop multi-skills and establish a professional attitude. Combining relevant policies, theories and the author’s practice, the paper points out the influences of the multiple paths on improving teaching competence, and analyzes the applicability of teaching competence improving paths to teachers at different levels.

Abstract:Private education is an integral part of the socialist education cause. Teachers born in the 1980s and 1990s are the mainstay of the teaching team. They have strong scientific and innovative literacy and ability, and are the "new generation" group in the teaching team. In the development process of private universities, due to factors such as instability and low level of social security, there is a high turnover rate of teachers, as well as an unstable and insufficient teaching staff. Helping private universities improve the stability of their teaching staff and organizational identity has become an urgent problem that private universities need to solve. Based on self-consistency theory and social identity theory, this study constructs a dual path hypothesis model for the impact of work values on job performance. In the survey of teachers from three representative private colleges in Yunnan, to avoid homologous variance, two surveys are conducted at two time points, 253 valid samples of new generation teachers are successfully matched, and confirmatory factor analysis and hypothesis testing are conducted using statistical software such as Amos and SPSS. The results show that work values have a significant positive impact on job performance, professional identity, and organizational identification. Professional identity and organizational identification play a dual mediating role between work values and job performance. From the management level, it is proposed that private colleges and universities should respect the work values of the new generation teachers, select teachers with positive work values, create a good organizational environment, and improve the teacher incentive mechanism, to enhance the professional identity and organizational identification of the new generation teachers, thereby improving the job performance of the new generation teachers, and stabilizing the teacher team.

Abstract:Under the guidance of the national "double carbon" strategy and high-quality development goals, the coordinated development of intelligent construction and new building industrialization has become an inevitable choice for the transformation and upgrading of China’s construction industry. The corresponding demand for intelligent construction talents is urgent. It has become an important task and challenge for relevant colleges and universities to cultivate innovative intelligent construction talents to adapt to the future development needs of the construction industry and meet the needs of industrial transformation and upgrading. Local colleges and universities are important forces to cultivate intelligent construction talents. However, in the process of intelligent construction talent training, local colleges and universities generally have difficulties such as the lack of engineering practice experience in the teaching staff, the difficulty of setting up a multi-disciplinary interdisciplinary curriculum system, the difficulty of multi-professional organization and coordination, and the difficulty of talent introduction and training. It is urgent for local colleges and universities to solve the problem of how to base on their own school running characteristics, make full use of superior resources to overcome the above difficulties, take students as the center, reasonably position talent training objectives, refine distinctive school running characteristics, and establish a high-quality talent training system. Focusing on improving students’ comprehensive ability and professional competence, the "one center, three synergies" talent training system for intelligent construction professionals, which is driven by "Modern Industry College", "Virtual Teaching and Research Office" and "Engineering Research Center", is an effective exploration of the pain points of intelligent construction talent training in local colleges and universities. Taking the specific practice of the "one center, three synergies" intelligent construction professional training system of Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology as an example, this paper expounds the connotation, characteristics and specific implementation path of the system, with a view to providing referential experience for the construction of intelligent construction specialty, the upgrading and transformation of civil engineering specialty, talent training and the collaborative education of schools and enterprises in other local universities.

Abstract:The engineering learning mode is a structured learning activity created for learning communities to provide meaningful learning experiences and to cultivate engineering and technology innovation and entrepreneurship talents for the intelligent information era. The knowledge production mode and learning science theory of universities jointly constitute the theoretical basis of the engineering learning mode. Therefore, based on the perspective of the learning ecosystem, a systematic study of the engineering learning mode was conducted, taking Olin College of Engineering and Robotics Union Academy Guangdong-Hong Kong as the objects of study. By comparing the similarities and differences between the engineering education modes in China and the United States, it was found that the logical starting points of the engineering learning mode lies in interdisciplinary integration, industry-university-research integration, and the unification of knowledge and practice. Drawing on the engineering education mode of Olin College, new strategies were proposed to promote the sustainable development of the new engineering learning mode in China to provide theoretical guidance and practical reference for the construction of new engineering disciplines.

For positive response to the national major development strategy, following the industry development trend, Tianjin university is seizing the opportunity to offer the intelligent building major on its advantage in disciplines of building environment and energy application engineering, electrical automation, etc. By building a teaching mode of mutual penetration and cross integration among disciplines, the aim is to cultivate talents that meet the needs of national development strategy. Since the intelligent building major of Tianjin University is still in its infancy and has not been widely recognized by students of other majors, it is of great significance to open a public elective course that can provide course selection for students of multiple colleges. In intelligent building course construction, the modular curriculum system is taken to design the focus of different teaching stage and intensive content. Combined with innovative teaching materials, theory teaching of technology application prospect and regression technical principle of practice teaching, supplemented with joint teaching by teachers with different research direction and professional background, the multidisciplinary integration curriculum features is interpreted, and the industry development and practical key points are paid attention to in the process of teaching. Through the analysis of curriculum organization mode, teaching arrangement and curriculum evaluation, the hybrid teaching mode for the intelligent building innovative course is put forward, the modular multi-dimensional cross course system and multi-disciplinary integration education platform are constructed, and the innovative talent training mode of mixed teaching is established.

Abstract:To improve the ability of personnel training is an important content of new engineering construction, and engineering construction field needs more engineering personnel engaged in project decision-making and whole-process cost management. The development trend of cost informatization and big data sharing, as well as new technologies and new methods in the field of engineering cost make the training of engineering cost professionals face huge challenges. The knowledge structure and ability standard of traditional engineering cost professionals can not make dynamic adjustment in time according to the market demand. Therefore, constructing the ability standard of engineering cost professionals is an important guarantee to improve the training quality of engineering cost professionals and meet the needs of industry development. Engineering cost major in Tianjin University of Technology is actively responding to the requirements of the new engineering education reform, and giving full play to the bridge rule of domestic cost association between university and industry market, according to domestic cost engineer practice range and the required professional skills, to establish an escalating ability structure about "ability of measurement and valuation–ability of bidding and contract management–capability on project feasibility study and investment". Learning from the outcomes-based education, the concept of "output oriented", "student centered" and "continuous improvement" runs through the whole process of talent training, guided by the industry market demand and students’ future job competency expectations. Reconstructing the relationship between "school-society, professional-industry, teacher-student" to promote the transformation of new engineering construction from theory to practice. In terms of teaching, it implements the principle of "indomitable", that is, the combination of curriculum theory teaching and workshop practice teaching to form a new teaching model that deeply integrates knowledge structure and ability training, so as to ensure the systematization and coherence of talent training. Finally, Assessment of professional competence is set to comprehensively evaluate students’ professional ability.

Abstract:Architecture in mining universities faces with many problems such as the vague positioning of existing major, the aging curriculum system, the single talent cultivation mode, the lack of foreign cooperation and exchange, and the lack of innovative courses, teaching material resources, teaching and research teams, innovation platform construction, and capital investment with mining characteristics, so the cultivation paths of interdisciplinary talents are carried out in architecture of mining universities. Combining with the characteristics and advantageous disciplines of China University of Mining and Technology (Beijing), with the goal of combining general education with specialized education and distinctive mining characteristics, a trinity training framework is established that combines theoretical teaching, practical teaching, and independent research and learning. Based on the main line of compound, innovative, comprehensive, professional, and practical talent cultivation, the cultivation paths of comprehensive talents with a broad foundation of general education and solid practical operation ability with mining characteristics are explored in six aspects, such as the construction of a one axis and two wings curriculum system with mining characteristics, the construction of a comprehensive teaching and research team, the construction of a multi-channel collaborative education platform, the development of intelligent cloud teaching resources and the implementation of multi-level security measures, aiming to provide new ideas for the development of architecture in mining universities.

Abstract:The reform of entrepreneurship and innovation talent training mode is the realistic demand of the implementation of national talent strategy. However, there are still many difficulties in the practice of talent training, such as the separation of training courses from the professional curriculum system, the unicity of the subjects of education, insufficient practical resources, and the lack of integration between in-class and out-of-class teaching. Taking the undergraduate education of architecture as a case, we integrate the engineering education concept of conceive–design–implement–operate (CDIO) into the teaching practice and explore the cultivation path of entrepreneurship and innovation talents. On the basis of clarifying the goals and vision of talent cultivation, we propose a modular curriculum system of "professional design + entrepreneurship and innovation training + discipline competition + social practice" which closely combines the design of the curriculum with the actual project of teachers, to realize the improvement of "thinking and consciousness cultivation + market cognition + professional skills + comprehensive quality" of the students. In the organization of the teaching process, we propose a learning task system of "innovative thinking and consciousness training–market and event cognition–field research–team counseling", an experiential teaching context combining interactive virtual simulation and real project experience, and a competition-oriented teaching methods to achieve the innovation of teaching methods and teaching ideas. Finally, we conclude that a multi-collaboration support system should be built to ensure the sustainability of the training mode, such as building a collaboration base with local government and enterprises to provide students with an operable project platform and a positive innovation environment, introducing enterprise mentors and industry pioneers into the system to build a comprehensive joint teaching team, and establishing cross-disciplinary project groups to incubate high-level projects.

Abstract:The construction of interdisciplinary professional curriculum is the key to cultivating innovative talents, and it is also the key and difficulty of China’s current professional education reform. Based on the current general understanding of the construction of the new engineering curriculum system, this paper, through in-depth analysis of the characteristics of knowledge transmission and the composition of professional knowledge system under the background of contemporary information technology, proposes that in the face of the trend of professional knowledge transforming from tree structure to network structure, a cross-disciplinary professional curriculum system should be built based on problem orientation, so as to truly realize the student-centered and innovation-oriented teaching objectives. Taking the curriculum reform of architecture as an example, this paper proposes a concept of constructing a "networked structure" professional curriculum system with innovation ability as the core from the aspects of building a general education curriculum system for senior students, planning cutting-edge topics, and research-oriented professional courses based on teacher-student cooperation. In order to cope with the profound changes in future professional education, it is necessary to set up specialized training directions based on the characteristics of subject research and the research and practical expertise of teachers, and construct corresponding research-oriented curriculum systems that integrate undergraduate and master’s degrees. Through the construction of a multi-disciplinary and composite "dual teacher" teaching team for the architecture profession, we will introduce high-level enterprise teachers to fundamentally solve the problem of the disconnect between architecture education and industry development needs, to ensure the effective response of the architecture education system to future knowledge updates and rapid industry development and changes.

Abstract:History of Chinese landscape architecture, as the core course of landscape architecture major (LA), has the important value of exploring ceaseless history to inspire the future. However, the teaching system needs to be optimized under the background that the connotation and extension of LA are constantly expanding. Through investigation and analysis, the current teaching of this course has some practical problems, such as the outline framework of "strain at a gnat and swallow a camel", case analysis of "emotion to reason split", and teaching method of "heavy emphasis on teaching and light practice". Based on the perspective of synergy theory, this paper proposes to optimize the teaching system by means of optimizing the knowledge structure of the three departments, deepening the cognitive mode through the integration of emotion and reason, and forming historical thinking through related practice. Through the feedback of teaching practice results, it is believed that the students can break through the traditional perspective to pay attention to the overall environment, the passive and receptive learning mode is fundamentally changed, and the construction and implementation of the progressive practice system promotes the formation of their historical thinking of landscape architecture.

Abstract:Critical thinking ability is an important part of the training program of new engineering talents. Traditional teaching mode of the course of composite structures focuses on knowledge transfer and this mode limits students to passive learning—"blind acceptance and imitation" and "cramming". This is contrary to the educational ideology of civil engineering education certification at undergraduate level. Based on the teaching content of composite structures, this paper conducts an action research on the mechanism of improving the critical thinking ability of undergraduate students majoring in civil engineering from the aspects of teaching design, teaching method and learning performance evaluation. The teaching contents are selected from the practical problems encountered in the course of composite structures. We analyze, evaluate and reflect upon the teaching and learning process in the form of learning community. From the perspective of simulating practical engineering application, to analyze learning performance evaluation, comparative teaching method is used in classroom teaching to guide and train students to identify, analyze, evaluate and predict engineering problems holistically, which is an effective way to improve the comprehensive quality of undergraduate students in civil engineering.
