The School of Teacher Education convened a promotional meeting on October 20th at the Sanjiang Building to discuss the undergraduate education and the coming audit evaluation. The meeting was attended by the prominent group of the school and the Dean of the department, under the chairmanship of Guangqing Bu, the party secretary.
During the meeting, Secretary Guangqing Bu underscored the significance of audit-based evaluation work from a holistic perspective encompassing the entire school and departments. It was emphasized that all faculty and staff members should comprehensively understand this importance. Furthermore, faculties were urged to collaborate, prioritize implementation, identify disparities in benchmarking, make progress, engage in mutual learning, and effectively execute, refine, and enhance the evaluation and construction efforts of audit and evaluation.
Dean of the School of Teacher Education, Prof. Jiajia Wang, analyzed the audit and evaluation of undergraduate education and teaching, focusing on its conceptual framework and specific content. The Dean emphasized the importance of meticulous organization of materials by all departments and the need for coordinated efforts in conducting comprehensive audits and self-examinations. Furthermore, integrating evaluation and construction activities into daily operations was emphasized, recognizing that evaluation provides a valuable opportunity to identify shortcomings and enhance the quality of personnel training. A specific list of self-examination questions of identified issues will be developed as part of this process. To enhance the efficacy of the assessment activities, it is imperative to prioritize the resolution and implementation of the issues identified during the initial self-evaluation phase while also embracing the concept of closed-loop management.
Vice Dean Hui Cao proposed measures to ensure the precision and standardization of materials used in the assessment process. These measures include a sequence of activities: "teacher self-examination, cross-checking within the department, spot-checking by the college assessment work group, and teacher re-checking.” Simultaneously, each department has heightened its endeavors to disseminate pertinent papers and policies about undergraduate education, teaching audits, and evaluation to instructors to facilitate a robust implementation of evaluation and construction processes.
