"I seem to suddenly remember something..."

After writing the eight books of Reform 3.0, Chen Hao suddenly remembered something and was stunned for a moment.

The content seems to be related to what Professor Huang Hong said this morning.

"What's going on?" Chen Hao, who didn't think about it for a moment, frowned, stood up and paced back and forth in the office.

Let me think about what happened around me the past few days, and I seem to have some clues.

"...I seem to have an impression."

Chen Hao slapped his head and remembered yesterday's chat with Zhao Donglai from the First Affiliated Hospital.

The conversation from that day comes to mind.

The person we were discussing was a doctoral student named Liu Yue. Her trial lectures were pretty good, but her scientific research results were somewhat mediocre.

Nowadays, colleges and universities prefer to recruit teaching and research-oriented teachers who can not only conduct scientific research but also teach.

Even worse, they are scientific research teachers. They can only produce results and write papers. As for whether they can teach... the leaders don't care. It has nothing to do with them anyway.

As for pure teaching teachers...then you have to look at metaphysics.

"Teaching talents?" Chen Hao put his hand on his chin, thinking about this question.

Dean Zhao Donglai mentioned something before, and his answer at that time was to treat him as a candidate. If there is no better candidate, he will be approved.

But now, he has changed his mind.

"It's true that you can't be too biased towards scientific research teachers, and pure teaching teachers are not impossible." At this moment, Chen Hao made up his mind.

Liu Yue from Peking University School of Medicine is going to be admitted to Guanghua University!

Not only that, in the future, anyone who comes across a good trial lecture during the interview will be hired!

Many scientific research-oriented teachers are good at scientific research if you ask them to do so, but if you ask them to go to class, some will only read from the text. Isn't it misleading to let them come to class? !

The scientific research type should concentrate on scientific research, and the teaching type should concentrate on classes. As for the teaching and scientific research type, you can do both.

After making up his mind, Chen Hao made a call directly to the Human Resources Office.

Pengcheng, the headquarters of Heytea Company.

USA:

1. In classic liberal arts colleges in the United States, all core courses are designed into three major systems including humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. Students in the lower grades can choose freely among these courses, while senior students can major in one of them. Professional courses. Since the number of students and teachers is close, most of the courses are small class discussions. Teachers and students can even design their own courses and credits.

2. American university courses can be divided into three categories:

Major requirement

Elective courses()

General Education Courses ()

General education courses came into being. For example, if you choose an engineering major, you are also required to study literature, English, social sciences and other subjects. This type of course selection method is usually presented in the form of core courses (corecurriculum) in American universities - in addition to completing the credits of this major, you must also complete courses in other professional fields through electives.

What courses are offered in the general education system?

Different schools have different classifications, but the general education system of American universities can basically be divided into 9 categories:

1. Writing: Mainly teaches the basic outline of academic writing, including how to establish arguments, introduce arguments, find evidence, and draw conclusions, etc.

2. Professional writing: Teach more advanced writing skills, often combined with professional courses, to improve students' reading and analysis abilities in professional fields, fundamentally avoiding having a full stomach of knowledge without the ability to integrate and analyze writing.

3. Western cultural studies: It involves European and American culture and history. For Americans and international students, no matter what industry they are engaged in, they must know the origin of the land under their feet.

4. Minority cultures: refers to the study of non-Western cultures, including Asia, Africa, Oceania, etc.

5. Humanities and Art: This type of course is usually closer to art and covers a wide range of topics, such as music history, work appreciation, literary work research, etc.

6. Language: Most schools offer courses in various languages. Common ones include French, German, Spanish, Japanese, etc.

7. Mathematical logic: It is more science-oriented and involves professional knowledge in mathematics, physics, programming, statistics, etc.

8. Social and behavioral sciences: including psychology, human studies, economics, sociology and other disciplines.

9. Natural science and technology: Content involving physics, chemistry, life sciences, astronomy and geography, etc.

It can be seen that some subjects are interdisciplinary and overlap with the knowledge of other professional courses.

Columbia University

Columbia University's practice from 1917 to 1919 is recognized as the starting point of modern university general education in the United States. Since then, many prestigious schools have begun to imitate it, and it has even become a well-known education system in the United States and even the world.

However, the curriculum of general education is still academically challenging as it covers the basic knowledge and academic areas necessary for all undergraduate students. However, this kind of "packaged learning" can cultivate students' creativity and critical thinking, increase their understanding of society, and have lifelong benefits for them.

Columbia University has nine core courses. The school requires every undergraduate to complete this series of courses in their freshman and sophomore years and obtain corresponding credits.

Foreign language: 4 semesters, you can pass the corresponding test.

Physical Education: 4 credits, swimming test scores or "University Health Form" must also be submitted.

Science: Take three electives, at least 9 credits.

Art: An introduction to the history of Western art.

Literature: Read contemporary literature.

Music: Appreciating the History of Western Music.

History: An introduction to Western historical issues.

Culture: An introduction to non-Western cultures.

Logic and Rhetoric: Develop critical thinking and clear oral and written presentation.

These nine core courses may seem to involve different aspects, but they are actually interconnected. For example, Columbia stipulates that before taking the course "Rhetoric and Logic", you must first take the two courses "Introduction to Logic and Rhetoric" or "Critical Writing". This kind of first-follow-up course arrangement is more conducive to students' absorption. Course content.

Secondly, Columbia's core courses are not disconnected from traditional courses. Students not only have a broad space for course selection, but also can connect general courses with their own professional fields. It is a process of checking for gaps and filling them. The process of pursuing higher standards.

University of Chicago

If Columbia University is a pioneer in general education, then the University of Chicago expanded the two-year system to a four-year system, allowing the core courses to take initial shape, which also laid the foundation for this model with American characteristics.

Today, the University of Chicago has divided its core courses into three major categories as admissions competition becomes increasingly fierce:

1.Humanities, civilization, art

2.Natural science, physics, mathematics

3.Social Sciences
