SCBC Aiming at Training its Young and Middle-aged Faculty by Providing Home and Overseas Visiting – Scholar Programs
The Faculty Development Center at SCBC invited on the afternoon of March 9th 29 home-and-overseas visiting scholars to Room 309 at the Administrative Building, where a talk was held on what the visitors had learned and experienced. Present at the meeting were executive Vice President Lai Zhili and Vice President Xiong Kuanghan who made their speeches at the meeting, which was chaired by Director Yang Lin of the HR Division.
SCBC has over the years been implementing the strategy of internationalizing education and “the Program to Support Young and Middle-aged Faculty”. Top young teachers are selected and sent each and every year to colleges and universities in China and overseas, where they study as visiting scholars/visitors. The meeting was addressed one after another by five reps of faculty, who, after sharing what they had experienced and learned as visitors, elaborated on aspects such as classroom instruction, CAI (Computer-Aided-Instruction), assessment of students’ work, personnel training, science research, assessment of faculty performance, ethics of faculty members, and home-and-overseas intercollegiate co-operation and exchange.
After relating what they had experienced as visitors, they were very appreciative of the opportunities SCBC had offered them to study at home and abroad as visitors. It is generally agreed that one will be able to greatly improve his abilities in teaching and science research and to broaden his vision by actively getting involved in classroom teaching and co-operative research and by signing up for programs either as a student, an instructor or a research assistant in the school one visits. Some visitors stated that the visitor program not only offsets the venue through which the world gets to know SCBC better but also facilitates intercollegiate co-ops between SCBC and other colleges and universities at home and abroad in teaching and research through contacts with their fellow teachers and researchers and by carrying on with what extends beyond the deadline when they return.
Vice President Lai Zhili, positive about the great efforts the teachers had made during their visit, was thankful to them for applying what they had learned to teaching and research at SCBC. Each and every college and university, according to him, is faced with challenges brought by the reform in the educational system and it is both a challenge and a trend for colleges and universities to have top-rate disciplines with international accreditation. And, a school’s future is totally dependent on its running quality disciplines against such a background. However, in order to achieve this goal of running quality disciplines, it is absolutely necessary that a contingent of young and middle-aged faculty (should) remain the mainstay in addition to academic leaders and subject managers. Hence, he encouraged all participants of the meeting to contribute to SCBC’s successful completion of various targets rolled out in “ the 13th 5-Year Development Plan” by constantly improving themselves in teaching and research, playing a key role in their respective majors and actively leading more and more young teachers down a speed-track of growth.
Vice President Xiong Kuanghan encouraged each and every attendee to help the school scale new heights in its endeavor to build quality disciplines by setting up new goals for himself in teaching and research and by making great efforts to bring about even greater self-improvement.
SCBC is said to further strengthen its training of young and middle-aged faculty by rolling out new mechanism and expanding its platform in the principles of “Training Faculty on and off Campus; Integrating Career with Major; and Initiating Visitor Programs in China and Overseas.”
