The winning course Political Economics is a compulsory course for undergraduate students majoring in economics. Since the course is highly focused on economic theory and is abstract in nature, Wang Ying and her team restructured the course content, developed learning resources, built a good learning environment and have promoted evaluation in teaching using a smart learning platform. These innovative modifications address the challenges encountered during real-world teaching.
The other first prize winner, Zhang Lin and her team, promote aesthetic education with the course Guqin Culture, which is an optional course of general education open to undergraduate students of all majors. As the first professional to introduce Guqin culture as a course of general education in domestic universities, Zhang Lin says the course is learner-centred. She hopes to help students learn more about Chinese traditional music.
The contestants have made full preparation by constant observation and continuous evaluation of each lecture, in order to improve the practice of their teaching. They adopted the appropriate approach and teaching methods, chose proper materials and used new technologies in teaching, which aligns with SCNU’s intention of improving teaching and school development in competitions.
