Documents Detailing the Relations with Wider Academic Community
The documents take Outline of the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for Economic and Social Development of the People’s Republic of China and National Standards for Teaching Quality of Undergraduate Majors in General Colleges and Universities as benchmarks.
Jiangxi University of Technology generally follows two guiding principles when formulating policies. 1. At the macro level, the University should follow Outline of the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for Economic and Social Development of the People’s Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as 14th Five-Year Plan). According to the guidelines for education sector in 14th Five-Year Plan, the University formulates the “14th Five-Year” Development Plan of Jiangxi University of Technology that is in line with the actual situation of the University. In the University’s 14th Five-Year Plan, the achievements made during 13th Five-Year Plan period were explained as a whole, and existing problems and future development directions were found. The University has clarified the development ideas for the next five years in combination with “guidance ideology, basic principles, university positioning, and main goals”, and proposed the main tasks concerning “student education, team building, discipline construction, scientific research, social services, international exchanges, foreign cooperation, cultural construction, campus construction, and political construction, etc.”, clarifying the guarantees for “politics, organization, system, and funding”. 2. At the micro level, the University should follow National Standards for Teaching Quality of Undergraduate Majors in General Colleges and Universities (hereinafter referred to as “National Standards”). This standard is researched and formulated by the Teaching Steering Committee of Colleges and Universities organized by the Higher Education Department of the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China, which is applicable to all undergraduate majors in colleges and universities across the country, clarifying the applicable majors, education objectives, education specifications, curriculum system, teaching staff, teaching conditions, and quality assurance, etc., and being the quality standards that each major should meet, and the basic basis for the University to set up undergraduate majors, guide major construction, and evaluate professional teaching quality. In accordance with the “National Standards”, the University formulates professional education standards, revises student education schemes, and promotes high-quality and diversified student education.
Up to now, Jiangxi University of Technology has no courses and degrees recognized by external agencies or associations. All standards are set in accordance with the “National Standards”.
Reports from External Agencies
Jiangxi University of Technology, as a full-time private general undergraduate institution*, needs to be validated and reviewed by the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China. (*Chinese degree awarding is classified into undergraduate [Bachelor], postgraduate [Master] and Doctor. JXUT only has the power to award Bachelor degree so it’s called undergraduate institution.)
In 2015, the University went through the Higher Education Validation of Undergraduate Institutions conducted by Ministry of Education. This process is the first higher education assessment process conducted by Ministry of Education on newly built undergraduate institutions, aiming to assess the higher education of newly-built (general) undergraduate institutions that haven’t been reviewed and validated before, including private general undergraduate institutions officially approved by the state. The Ministry of Education coordinates the Validation, formulates the overall scheme and plan, and establishes the Higher Education Validation of Undergraduate Institution Committee (hereinafter referred to as Higher Education Assessment Committee). The Higher Education Assessment Committee is mainly responsible for guiding and supervising the Validation, reviewing the reports submitted by Higher Education Assessment Panel*, making Validation conclusions, accepting and dealing with disputes, arbitration and other matters. The Higher Education Assessment Center of Ministry of Education specifically organizes and implements the validation, including the organization of Validation officer training, the formation of Higher Education Assessment Panel, the collection and analysis of basic teaching status data, and the organization of Higher Education Assessment Panel’s visits to institutions, etc., and submits relevant materials to Higher Education Assessment Committee on the on-campus inspection of the Panel. The main procedures of the Validation include: self-evaluation by the institution, on-campus inspection by Higher Education Assessment Panel, review and release of the conclusion, etc. In the end, the University passed the Higher Education Validation of Undergraduate Institutions conducted by Ministry of Education. (*The members of Higher Education Assessment Panel will be selected by Higher Education Assessment Center of Ministry of Education from the reserve of professionals appointed by Department of Higher Education of Ministry of Education. To be appointed as member of the reserve of professionals, one should be an active staff engaged in education and teaching management or local education administration, and should be under the age of 65. Generally, there will be 5-7 members in a Higher Education Assessment Panel, with 1 chairman and 1 secretary.)
In 2018, the University went through the Higher Education Review of Undergraduate Institutions conducted by Ministry of Education. The main purpose of the Review is to assess the realization of the University’s education goals and outcomes. The Review focuses on the matching performance between the positioning and education goals of the University and the needs of national and regional economic and social development, the assurance of teachers and teaching resources, the effectiveness of the operation of teaching and quality assurance systems, and the satisfaction of students and social employers. The main procedures of the Review include: self-evaluation by the institution, on-campus inspection by the Panel, review and release of the conclusion, etc. In the end, the University passed the Higher Education Review of Undergraduate Institutions conducted by Ministry of Education.

Chen Xiao: Dear leaders, good morning! Feedback Meeting of Re-assessment, Rectification and On-campus Inspection of the Undergraduate Education of Jiangxi University of Technology will begin now. First of all, on behalf of the Panel, I would like to inform about the work carried out by the Panel during the on-campus inspection of Jiangxi University of Technology. The Panel re-assessed the undergraduate education of Jiangxi University of Technology, carried out the on-campus inspection, reviewed a large number of original materials on the spot, checked the University’s overall conditions, campus environment, and living facilities such as student dormitories, canteens and related sports venues, listened to 10 lessons randomly involving nine majors, reviewed 650 test papers involving 10 courses and 160 graduation theses, with 6 majors involved randomly, interviewed more than 20 people deeply, visited more than 32 departments and units involving the University leaders, members of Board of Directors, functional departments and heads of secondary colleges and teaching units and teachers, etc., held 2 symposiums, and visited an off-campus practice base. With such activities during daytime for 2 days, the Panel convened a meeting in the evening, conducted information exchange and extensive discussions, and formed an overall impression of Jiangxi University of Technology on this basis.
1. The work is emphasized, the measures are effective, and the re-assessment and rectification have achieved remarkable results. The University leaders attached great importance to the feedback from the Panel in 2010, organized several special meetings on assessment and rectification, studied hard, discussed repeatedly, and responded to the opinions and suggestions of the Panel. The University team has unified thinking, raised awareness, and achieved the goal of facing problems squarely, identifying gaps, making careful arrangements, implementing it in stages, strengthening leadership, and striving for results. It is particularly worth mentioning that the University’s rectification work has received the attention and support of Government of Jiangxi Province, Education Working Committee of Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee, and Jiangxi Provincial Department of Education. Leaders of Office of the Education Supervision Committee of the State Council, Department of Higher Education of Ministry of Education, Higher Education Assessment Center of Ministry of Education and other departments listened to the report on the assessment and construction of the University, and put forward constructive guidance and suggestions on the assessment and construction of the University. Zhu Hong, the vice governor of Jiangxi Province, personally instructed Jiangxi Provincial Department of Education to attach great importance to the assessment of Jiangxi University of Technology. Yu Guoqing, former secretary of Education Working Committee of Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee, former director of Provincial Education Department, Cheng Xiangguo, deputy director, and other leaders, have visited the University many times to guide the assessment and construction work. We are pleased to see that with the support and help of leaders at all levels and the joint efforts of the faculty and staff of the University, through four years of rectification, great changes have taken place in the University’s outlook, and the rectification has achieved remarkable results.
2. The thoughts are unified with consensus, and major adjustments are made to the orientation of running a University. The University held a number of special working meetings and conducted a series of seminars on how to properly run applied undergraduate education. After repeated certifications, it made major adjustments to the University positioning proposed in 2010. The orientation of striving to build the application-oriented undergraduate university which is the leading in the province and the first-class domestically is adjusted to build the University into a distinctive application-oriented local private undergraduate university serving the local economic and social development, meet the needs of industry enterprises, focusing on applied disciplines, with multi-disciplinary coordinated development. It also puts forward the concept of running a University based in Jiangxi and serving the locality, organically integrates the construction of disciplines and economic and industrial institutions, and finds breakthrough points, focusing on cultivating five major professional clusters that are consistent with the development direction of Jiangxi’s strategic emerging industries and modern service industries, closely following the key points, hot spots and difficulties of local economic and social development, and enhancing the relevance, coordination and service of regional economic and social development. The orientation of the University is closer to reality and more grounded.
3. Actively explore, persist in innovation, and improve the corporate governance structure. The University actively explores the establishment of a modern university system, innovates the internal management system, explores a university-running mechanism that strengthens the leadership of the party committee, and makes scientific decisions by the board of directors, with the principal governing the University in accordance with the law, the professor concentrating on his studies, and the faculty and staff participating extensively in a university-running mechanism, establishing a diversified fund-raising system, sound financial management, and a fund operating system mechanism that strengthened the ability to resist risks. The University strictly implements the national enrollment policy, strengthens its self-discipline mechanism, and formulates and implements sustainable University management measures. In particular, Mr. Yu Guo, the chairman of the board of directors, has been dedicated to teaching for life for 21 years since running the University. He devoted all his energy and effort to the construction and development of Jiangxi University of Technology, and made important contributions to the healthy development of private higher education in Jiangxi Province.
4. Face the region, adjust the organization and accelerate the pace of transformation and development. In the past four years of rectification, the University has made great efforts to adjust the structure of the regional economy in order to improve its ability to serve local economic and social development. The undergraduate majors have increased from 22 in 2010 to 35, and the number of subject categories involved has increased from 4 to 7; In terms of the composition of students, the proportion of undergraduates has been increased year by year, from 6,563 in 2010 to 20,444 in 2014; the proportion of undergraduates in the number of students has increased from 24.4% in 2010 to 56.9% now. The pace of transformation and development significantly speed up.
5. Raise funds and increase investment significantly, improving the conditions for running Universities. In the four years of rectification and reform, the University has invested 443.256 million yuan in the basic construction of teaching to ensure that the conditions for running undergraduate universities meet the standards. The total value of the University’s teaching and research equipment increased from 124.105 million yuan in 2010 to 202.434 million yuan in 2014, and the per student value of teaching and research equipment increased from 4614.9 yuan in 2010 to 5634.7 yuan in 2014. The University also invested 177.845 million yuan for the daily operating expenses of teaching, 14.233 million yuan for book purchases, 12.847 million yuan for campus information construction, 60 million yuan for building new dance buildings, civil engineering buildings and nursing buildings, 24 million yuan for building a young teacher’s apartment, and 36 million yuan for building a new student dormitory building. The University’s average annual teaching and daily operating expenses increased from 1084.2 yuan in 2010 to 1514.5 yuan in 2014. It is particularly commendable that the Jiangxi Provincial Government set up a special fund for the development of private education, invested 16.62 million yuan in the University, and the special fund was used for the construction of University laboratories. The above-mentioned funding has brought the University’s running conditions up to standard and has reached a new level.
6. Formulate policies, establish institutions, and implement the strategy of strengthening the University with talents. During the rectification period, the University took the construction of the teaching staff as the key task of the University, carefully deployed and implemented it with all efforts. The University established a leading group for the construction of a teaching staff and a special organization for the teacher development center, researching and implementing a series of policies and measures for the strategy of strengthening the University with talents, and paying close attention to implementation. In the four years of rectification, the University has invested 38.745 million yuan in special funds for the construction of the talent team. On the basis of implementing the five social insurances and one fund for teachers, the occupational annuity and serious illness medical insurance have been added, the salary increase mechanism and various welfare systems for teachers have been continuously improved, an incentive and distribution system closely linked to job responsibilities, work performance and actual contributions has been established, and the salary adjustment policy has been tilted to front-line teacher positions. The total number of full-time teachers in the University increased from 1,306 in 2010 to 1988 in 2014, and the student-teacher ratio decreased from 20.6:1 to 17.5:1. The number of teachers with associate professor and above increased from 156 to 687, and the proportion accounting for the total number of full-time teachers increased from 19.6% in 2010 to 34.6%. The number of teachers with master’s degree and above increased from 378 in 2010 to 1,203, and the proportion accounting for the total number of full-time teachers increased from 47.6% to 60.5%. The proportion of young teachers under the age of 35 in the total number of teachers decreased from 70.4% in 2010 to 47.2% in 2014, and the proportion of qualified teachers in various undergraduate majors increased from 91.7% in 2010 to 96.3%. The number of dual-qualified teachers with experimental background and professional qualifications increased from 112 in 2010 to 962 in 2014, and the proportion of the total number of full-time teachers increased from 14.1% to 48.4%. The number of teachers is relatively sufficient, and the structure is gradually improving. The University also pays special attention to teacher ethics education and strives to build the spiritual home of Jiangxi University of Technology. The teachers are dedicated and love their jobs, having a strong sense of professional belonging.
7. Research deeply, revise the plan, and improve the student education model. On the basis of in-depth research, the University organizes student education certification meetings involving industry, enterprise and other university experts, perfects the two-platform +N module student education model, adjusts the ratio of theoretical courses and practical courses, increases the proportion of practical teaching, and the University practice teaching hours generally increased compared with the hours before the rectification. Although the practical teaching credits of humanities and social sciences are not less than 25% of the total credits, and the practical teaching credits of science and engineering and art majors are not less than 30% of the total credits, the proportion of practical teaching credits for each major has generally increased by 5-10% compared with that before the rectification. In the intensive practice teaching link, science and engineering majors exceed 30 weeks, and humanities and social sciences majors are no less than 20 weeks, which is generally an increase of 3-5 weeks compared with that before the rectification.
8. Deepen reforms, coordinate innovation, and vigorously promote the integration of production and education.
The University established an office for industry-university-research cooperation, increased funding for industry-university-research cooperation, and focused on building four major cooperation platforms: university-enterprise, university administration, university association, and university-university cooperation, and established an interactive and win-win student education partnership. Relying on the construction of a unique high-level private university in the Jiangxi Province Teaching System Reform Project in 2011, the University aims to cultivate the application-oriented talents urgently needed by the society, and is oriented to serve the needs of local economic and social development, with mutual benefit and win-win as the driving force, with the integration of production and education as the core, focusing on developing students’ comprehensive abilities, professional abilities, innovation and entrepreneurship abilities, with project development as the carrier. Four mechanisms have been created for platform practicing, scientific and technological competition, patent-oriented, and entrepreneurial incubation, and three-stage and three-open application-oriented talents, and an open and collaborative University-enterprise cooperation education model were constructed and realized, and a dual faculty team and so on was established. This teaching reform won the first prize of Jiangxi Province Teaching Achievement in 2014. In the past four years, the University has signed cooperation agreements with a large number of enterprises and institutions such as ZTE Group, Foxconn Technology Group, and Huawei Technology Co., Ltd. to jointly build a practice base. At the end of 2014, the number of off-campus practicing bases increased from 49 in 2010 to 242 in 2014. The University science and technology park has become an important platform for the integration of production and education. There are currently 55 companies located in the park. Among them, 22 are self-employed by teachers and students, 17 are enterprises founded by alumni, and 16 are social enterprises. The University science and technology park has introduced a registered capital of more than 50 million RMB, and the University’s provincial and municipal science and technology platform has also increased from a blank before the rectification to the current one provincial science and technology research center, one municipal engineering technology research center and three municipal science and technology research centers, focusing on promoting industry-university-research cooperation. The University closely cooperates with market demand through three collaborative education methods: adaptive education, employer-partnership education, and project-oriented education, and solves the problem of the disconnection between student education and the market. The University has joined 242 companies to participate in the student practice training process, which has increased by nearly four times compared with that before the rectification. In 2014, the number of employer-partnership programmes reached 26, and the total number of the students enrolled in employer-partnership programmes was 853.
9. Formulate standards, strengthen monitoring, and build a quality assurance system. The University has established a teaching supervision and assessment office. Equipped with dedicated quality control personnel, the teaching unit has improved the second-level teaching supervision team, and strengthened the regular inspection and special inspection of the quality of undergraduate teaching. A second-level college educational affairs office was established to strengthen teaching monitoring and independent management, clarify the three-level monitoring responsibilities of the University, college, and teaching and research section, and fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the University. The University has formulated and improved a series of teaching quality standards such as the comprehensive index system for undergraduate majors, and rules and regulations such as teaching operation and teaching quality management, and established a three-dimensional monitoring system with full participation, all-round and full-process. The entire system takes the quality standards of student education as the core, information collection and feedback as the driving force, and the continuous improvement of teaching and the continuous improvement of teaching quality as the highest goal and ultimate goal, realizing a full range of process management and monitoring from the formulation of professional education programs, the arrangement of teaching plans and teaching tasks, the management of teaching operations, examinations and results, etc. The University focuses on strengthening the style of study and adopts a series of measures such as putting mobile phones into pockets in the classroom to strengthen classroom teaching management. The University strictly grasps the examination style and discipline, regulates the graduation thesis and graduation design writing of undergraduate graduates, carefully reviews the qualifications of instructors, clarifies the duties of instructors, and incorporates the detection of plagiarism and fraud in student thesis into the instructor assessment indicators and the handling methods for student violations. For off-campus practical teaching, the University requires six implementations including plan implementation, outline implementation, guidance teacher implementation, funding implementation, site implementation, and assessment implementation, and earnestly do a good job of preparing for practical teaching, arranging implementation links, process supervision links and results Assessment and summary link. The University conducts regular teaching work meetings, feedback from student information officers, early mid-term teaching inspections, student assessments, graduate questionnaires, graduate quality follow-up surveys, and various special inspections, extensively collecting teaching information, and timely feedback and rectification, to initially form a self-regulating and self-improving teaching quality monitoring mechanism. The Teaching Supervision and Assessment Office establishes a basic status database by analyzing the status of the University’s teaching quality and forming an annual quality analysis report.
10. Prioritize moral education, lead the theme, and construct the characteristic moral education system. The University takes students as the main body, with moral education and habit training as the main content, and established the college students’ ideological and political education and management committee. Each semester determines an education theme, forming a four-year, eight-theme Jiangxi University of Technology characteristic moral education mode of “love, law, integrity, responsibility, self-reliance, innovation, entrepreneurship, and dedication” for undergraduates. Students love the University and are diligent, presenting a good mental outlook. During the 7th National Forum on Moral Education in Private Colleges and Universities, leaders and representatives from the Department of Ideological and Political Affairs of the Ministry of Education and the National Institute of Colleges and Universities etc. visited the exhibition of the educational achievements of students’ moral cultivation and gave full affirmation and encouragement. The University has been rated as an advanced university for ideological and political education in Jiangxi Province for many years.
11. Guide the project, drive innovation, and carry out innovation education actively. The University strives to create "three cradles": a cradle for training engineers, a cradle for educating small and micro business owners, and a cradle for producing intellectual property rights. The University has established a provincial university science and technology park. Up to now, 55 companies have settled in the park. In addition, the Innovation and Entrepreneurship College and the second-level college have established 23 innovation classes and a number of innovation groups, using the University’s provincial and municipal science and technology platform, high-level talents and experimental equipment to achieve training in the park, practice in the park, and integration in the park. The University has increased its investment and actively carried out innovation education through project guidance, patent orientation, and entrepreneurial incubation to develop students’ innovative ability. At the end of 2014, the total number of nationally authorized patents of the University has jumped from the 12th in the province’s universities to the 3rd. In 2014 alone, 839 patent applications were filed by the University and 590 were authorized. The number of patent applications and authorizations both leapt to the top of the universities in Jiangxi Province, accounting for 27.4% of the total number of patent applications and 39.5% of the total number of authorized universities in the province that year. In 2014, the whole University applied for 46 patents and 28 were approved. The State Intellectual Property Administration sent people to the University to investigate and summarize experience. The University has successively cooperated with Nanchang City Entrepreneurship Guidance Center, Nanchang High-tech Zone Labor Employment Service Center and Nanchang University Student Entrepreneurship and Employment Guidance Station to hold 18 entrepreneurship education courses. Focusing on career planning, employment and entrepreneurship, and other topics to share and discuss with university students, and regularly hold alumni forum activities in Jiangxi University of Technology, university students are enthusiastic about entrepreneurship, and dozens of students have registered companies in the industrial and commercial sector.
Liu Lin: Professor Chen Xiao, the Chairman of the Panel, has profoundly and incisively summarized the major achievements made by Jiangxi University of Technology in the past four years. I think this represents the common opinion of the Panel, and I very much agree. I will make a supplementary speech on the basis of Professor Chen’s speech. Through two days of inspection and some prior research and reading materials, I feel that Jiangxi University of Technology is transforming and developing in the process of rectification and reform. The rectification and reform have achieved tangible results, the transformation has achieved results, and the development has achieved performance. The University’s university-running strength and university-running level, especially in the three basic aspects of undergraduate teaching assessment, have made considerable progress and progress. Just as the team leader evaluated just now, the basic requirements have been met. At a time when the national privately-run colleges and universities are in a period of wandering development, it is really not easy for our Jiangxi University of Technology to make such a big progress, and it is indeed not simple, which is impressive. Of course, while I am delighted to see your achievements, I have also seen that Jiangxi University of Technology has room for improvement in the construction of the teaching team, the construction of the style of study, the construction of applied characteristics, and the guidance of graduate employment essays, the classroom teaching links and the quality control links. We very much agree with Professor Chen Xiao’s judgment on the University just now. Based on this, I want to make six suggestions for the future development of Jiangxi University of Technology: my six suggestions are centered on a central word, which is characteristics. Because I personally think that after this re-assessment, it should be said that Jiangxi University of Technology has entered an important turning point. Being listed as one of the two comprehensive reform colleges in the province is another important development opportunity for our Jiangxi University of Technology. Especially under the background that the State Council has just accelerated the construction of a modern vocational education system last year to comprehensively promote the transformation of local undergraduate colleges, it is about to introduce several important measures to encourage the development of social forces to run the University, integrating internal and external factors and forms. I think that Jiangxi University of Technology has ushered in an important time node in the history and course of development, and an important period of opportunity. If you seize this opportunity, it is very possible to achieve a new leapfrog development. The basis of leapfrog development lies in characteristics, and the goal of leapfrog development also points to characteristics. The starting point of development is the characteristics, and the focus is also on the characteristics. Therefore, I suggest that Jiangxi University of Technology strengthen the construction of characteristics in the following six aspects in response to existing problems.
1. Deposit advantages and create positioning features. Jiangxi University of Technology has determined to be established as a private undergraduate college with distinctive characteristics, focusing on engineering, and multi-disciplinary coordinated development of applied, teaching, and local undergraduate colleges. However, if analyzed in detail, the applied type itself is a large type. Under the applied type, at least it can be divided into theoretical application type and technology application type. Under the technology application type, there are multiple modes and forms. As far as a university is concerned, you are not necessarily a model or a method, especially for private colleges and universities with autonomy in running universities. This time, in the documents to be adopted by the State Council, it is clearly stated that private colleges and universities can choose the path of running universities if they have the conditions. But what we want to say is that our Jiangxi University of Technology should refine our own positioning type. What form do we take? From the perspective of the current transformation of colleges and universities across the country, there are at least three ways. There are universities such as Jiangxi University of Technology that have been transformed from higher vocational universities to undergraduate universities. There are not a few such universities, but when everyone mentions the transformation, they have all moved towards or rushed towards the University of Applied Sciences, which is the dominant one. So, in fact, let’s look back what happened in Germany. What we are doing now is imitating others, but Germany itself has both the FH university of applied sciences and the DH dual system university. From a global perspective, this kind of undergraduate level applied education also has an exam background. My suggestion is that Jiangxi University of Technology must deposit its own basic advantages during its transformation, especially in its cultural positioning. If it is building a modern vocational education system, under this new perspective, re-examine the application of higher vocational education colleges and undergraduate levels. In terms of vocational education, I think that undergraduates, including professional education, have the same laws. Some factors can be deposited, and some advantages can continue to develop. I also see the advantages of Jiangxi University of Technology in this respect. I think it should not be denied, any advantage should not be given up, but should be inherited, and continue to be used, refined and improved. I think Jiangxi University of Technology can embark on a path of transformation that is different from other universities in the province. The establishment of a unique application undergraduate model of Jiangxi University of Technology must have a strategic significance for the layout of the entire Jiangxi colleges and universities.
2. Highlight technology and condense professional characteristics. Before I came, I did some homework and sorted out the professional situation of 95 colleges and universities in Jiangxi Province. In order to support the education and teaching of nearly 40,000 undergraduates and junior college students in Jiangxi University of Technology, most majors are the same as other colleges and universities. It is taking the road of a comprehensive college, especially the new strategic industry in Jiangxi Province. The number of students enrolled in automotive engineering majors is declining, and some majors have actually ceased. Therefore, the characteristics of science and technology need to be strengthened. Then of course, this is the result of the selective tendency of current students to emphasize literature and light industry. What kind of result is this? I suggest that since the Jiangxi University of Technology has established this science and technology, and the word science and technology has just been established, it should strengthen its foundation and consolidate its foundation. It should buck the trend and strengthen its confidence. I propose two specific suggestions. The first is that in traditional engineering majors, we should increase the intensity of industry-university integration, and establish a close marriage relationship with the leading strategic emerging industry groups in Jiangxi Province. As far as engineering education is well run, I think this is a successful experience. That is, we want to integrate internal and external, production and education, to make this profession bigger and stronger. Second, we must fully understand the development trend of Internet+, especially Internet+ traditional industries, as well as the development trend of this emerging industry, the new demand for talents in new business formats, and the need for our existing liberal arts. Is it possible to consider the Internet + traditional majors for finance and economics majors to transform our traditional majors and improve their technological content? This is the second suggestion.
3. Optimize the structure and consolidate the development of the main body. The main body of our Jiangxi University of Technology is undergraduate, but now there has been a reversal in enrollment. There were more college students and fewer undergraduates last year. I come from a private college, so I deeply understand that. Here I want to represent the Panel, the individual, or our private education. I hope that the provincial government will provide support, especially in the enrollment plan, to make the University be able to major in undergraduates. Giving a tilt to Jiangxi University of Technology can consolidate its main characteristics and optimize the overall structure of the student source structure.
4. Stimulate stamina and strengthen team building. The outstanding feature of our Jiangxi University of Technology team is that young teachers are the main body, especially teachers with academic backgrounds from Jiangxi University of Technology account for a considerable proportion. By definition, it is also a shortcoming and weakness in our faculty. Maybe the stamina is not enough, but I also think we should fully see the advantages of this team. Especially since the two days of interviews, I have been particularly impressed by this advantage. There are two major advantages at least. The first one is the spiritual strength of loyal care to our Jiangxi University of Technology, love and dedication to work, which is great for private universities. This is extremely valuable to the University’s campus culture and spiritual outlook. We don’t have the establishments of public universities. The advantages of professional identity protection and wage protection are the advantages of being able to gather this force. I think it is not easy and should be maintained. Second, teachers have a strong desire for knowledge and the potential to accept new ideas and new things. I suggest that universities should not change a group of people when going up one level like some universities do, but on the next level, the University not only has educated a group of students, but also a group of teachers, to allow teachers, especially young teachers to develop with the University. It is recommended that universities take special measures to use this combination of high motivation and moderate pressure to stimulate the stamina of our team and maintain the characteristics of our team. I believe that as long as the measures are appropriate, the potential of our team will definitely be developed, and it will definitely be able to support the future development of our Jiangxi University of Technology. This is my fourth suggestion.
5. It is necessary to stick to the private sector and demonstrate management characteristics. It was also mentioned in Professor Chen’s comment just now. It seems that teaching is showing signs of returning to traditional teaching. There is no denying that, over the years, the development of private universities has emerged in order to integrate with society and meet the requirements of government regulations. Some private universities are returning to tradition and relying on operating mechanisms, institutional settings, and personnel management. Public offices have adopted many methods similar to those of public offices. That’s why I am here to make recommendations. I think we must stick to the private sector, show management characteristics, and stick to the private sector system. This is our life, the nature of running a university, and our most important competitiveness and advantage. Therefore, I suggest that we must stick to it. Especially since I heard Professor Chen talk about this point, I feel that Chairman Yu, really runs the University sincerely and wholeheartedly. Jiangxi University of Technology has already presented the high-level form of private education management, that is, its nature of public welfare, so I suggest continuing on this road, focusing on building a modern teaching system and improving the University governance structure. Let’s see how to build a new upgraded version of private universities.
6. Focus on cultivating cultural characteristics. The beautiful and vast campus of Jiangxi University of Technology is indeed very enviable to us. In Beijing, I feel that this cannot be achieved. I also see the characteristics of the University, but I think no matter how big the campus is, it is not culturally important. We should seize a new development opportunity, to enrich the cultural connotation of the University, and condense the cultural characteristics of the University, so that the campus cultural characteristics of our Jiangxi University of Technology can spread to all corners of the campus, and we must concentrate our efforts to overcome our current existence. There are many themes, many slogans, and many activities, which are scattered, and it is difficult to stay focused. Therefore, I think that culture is the development concept at the beginning of our system. For time, it will end. If there is something wrong, please criticize and correct me. Finally, I wish Jiangxi University of Technology to take advantage of the situation and continue to write brilliance. Thank you all.
Chen Xiao: Thanks to Professor Liu Lin, and now I invite Professor Wei Chenglong, Secretary of the Party Committee of Changsha University, to give feedback.
Wei Chenglong: I proposed three suggestions.
1. It is suggested that Jiangxi University of Technology should persevere and vigorously strengthen the construction of the teaching team, because this is the key to improving the quality of student education. The University has achieved great results in this area, but it must not be relieved, because the University currently lacks high-level professional leaders in the University. It is not realistic to have high-level professional leaders in every major, but we need to focus on those disciplines and majors that we need to make breakthroughs, make unique features, and form advantages. You must have your own professional leader, the high-level leaders. At present, a large number of part-time, flexible professors from the prestigious universities and established undergraduate colleges play the role of the leaders of some of our professions and take on the important task of applied professional development. I think it is difficult to be responsible for application-oriented professional development. Particular attention should be paid to the person in charge of the subject, the backbone of the teaching staff is still relatively young, and the academic structure of some of them needs to be further improved and upgraded. The scientific research ability and teaching level need to be further improved, and the experience of discipline and professional construction still needs to be accumulated. This promotes teaching activities, such as bringing students to the forefront of subjects, at least letting students know where the frontier is, updating teaching content, absorbing students to participate in scientific research as soon as possible, allowing students to conduct basic scientific research training, and providing projects for graduation design papers. Therefore, the University must improve the overall scientific research, improve the level and ability of scientific research, teaching methods and teaching level. It should be said that teachers are very dedicated and passionate in lectures, but they must strengthen their development, scientific research capabilities, and psychological counseling. This is the first aspect.
2. To further establish the central position of undergraduate teaching, on the one hand, as an undergraduate institution, it is necessary to vigorously compress junior college majors and highlight the dominant position of undergraduate education. To further establish the central position of undergraduate teaching, as an undergraduate university, it is necessary to vigorously compress college majors and highlight the dominant position of undergraduate education. I think the dynamic adjustment mechanism for undergraduate majors is basically established, but we need to work hard about what to add, how to connect with local industries and service industries, how to combine their own reality, form their own professional characteristics, develop differentiated from others, and create their own professional characteristics, so that some professionals will be unique. In terms of training programs, on the one hand, it must meet the requirements of undergraduate majors and social needs, combine the actual conditions of the University, avoid the tendency of convergence with other universities, and work hard on how to form a dislocation development and form the characteristics of the education target direction. This major must train such people and fit the reality of the University. In terms of teaching content and curriculum system, it is necessary to give full play to the advantages of the system and mechanism of private colleges and universities, increase the intensity of reform, and make efforts to develop courses and open new courses for the entire curriculum and enterprises and institutions. Further attention should be paid to the basic teaching of subjects, because higher education law requires undergraduate level talents to more systematically master the basic conditions necessary for undergraduate disciplines. As to practical teaching system, I personally think that practical teaching should be strengthened in the cultivation of applied talents. Of course, strengthening the proportion of class hours is one aspect. It is about how to optimize the system, according to the content. Another aspect is not that more is better. At present, the proportion of practical teaching in most engineering majors accounts for 40% to 50%. I personally think that it is questionable.
3. As for the education model, the University proposed a two-platform + N-module student education, as well as a production-university-research-education model, with many proposals to further improve practical teaching, optimize the system, update content, improve methods, formulate standards, strengthen management, improve assessment, and work hard to improve quality and level. At present, the colleges I visit generally use appraisal instead of assessment. The appraiser’s usual political performance, attitude to approve this, the mastery of the internship teaching content, and the use of knowledge to solve problems are the basis for the internship results. It is worth mentioning that in just two days, Jiangxi University of Technology has left a deep and beautiful impression on me. The campus planning is very good, the layout is reasonable, the environment is beautiful, and the management is in place. The students love the University, they are positive, and desire to become talents. The teachers have a good spirit, and the team structure has improved significantly. Teaching investment is large, and the construction of teaching conditions has achieved remarkable results. The team has a clear understanding of the University’s positioning, attaches importance to the development of connotation, has a clear thinking, and will launch a series of reform measures, especially the rectification and reform has achieved the expected results. Therefore, I am convinced that the University-running goals of Jiangxi University of Technology will be achieved, and the future of Jiangxi University of Technology will be better. Finally, I sincerely thank the University for your cooperation, good service, and the liaison staff for your hard work. Thank you!
Chen Xiao: Now let me invite Professor Jiang, Dean of Fujian University of Technology, to give a speech. Welcome!
Jiang Xinhua: Dear leaders and teachers, good morning! Our professor Liu Lin spoke on behalf of the University and expressed full affirmation of the University. I would like to make three suggestions. I think for our Jiangxi University of Technology, we don’t have a long history. Many things still need to be done, but for undergraduate education, our most important thing is to emphasize the characteristics.
1. Faculty construction. In the past four years, the faculty of Jiangxi University of Technology has made great progress. The problem of quantity has basically been solved, but the solution of the problem of our teachers’ quantity should never be regarded as a focus, but as a starting point. Under normal circumstances, think about how to build this team well and build a strong team. I think we should pay special attention to these points. One is the leader of our discipline. Our leader is either approaching retirement age or casual employed. How to do it is our own and we can hold on to our profession. We should be able to live, have ideas, and have a certain status in similar universities across the country. The second is the general development of our teachers. Sometimes it may cost more than ten million to introduce a scholar. This is we don’t make great effort in the development of our teachers, and there are not many channels. How to encourage our teachers to visit, study and improve at home and abroad? I think private universities have the characteristic management mechanism of private universities. This should have a greater advantage. The third is our teacher teaching research. We have to look at scientific research, and knows that education and teaching reform are equally important, especially for our general colleges and universities, such as how to use current teaching methods, how to use the Internet, and what you see and hear. We discussed that our teacher has a small amount of information, why is it so small? It is for less research on teaching.
2. Teaching management and quality monitoring. The rules and regulations of teaching have been established and perfected, but we still need our teaching management team, the leadership of our University, the leadership of our secondary college, the joint management of the secondary University, the common attention, and the perseverance and perseverance to continue to execute. In this case, our rules and regulations will become real rules and regulations. I think the management and quality monitoring of our teaching is a major issue. We looked at the assessment of our students and the assessment we supervised, and the excellent and good rate was over 90%. Is this a good thing or not? I think it’s a good thing for leaders, but it’s not a good thing for us internally. Because this kind of teaching is more than 90%, there is not much room for improvement, and I think we have to be stricter internally. Our teachers and leaders must be stricter when evaluating teaching. It makes our teaching more serious.
3. Student guidance issues. The most important thing in the University is the students. All the goals of the University are for students. I went to the University of Nursing yesterday and I was very interested in their Academy Motto, which is just eight characters, very common, connected with health and supporting life. Overall, the University should strengthen its services to students, pay more attention to them, and control their food, clothing, housing, transportation, and more importantly, their spiritual life, developing their self-motivation.
4. Let me say a few more words. I think I have been to Jiangxi University of Technology twice. The changes have been very great throughout the four years, and remarkable results have been achieved in rectification and reform. The leaders of our college, dedication, our teachers are sincere, our students love the University, and our cadres’ spirit of serving everything is admirable. It should be said that leaders are enterprising, teachers are caring, students are self-motivated, and cadres are responsible, which left a deep impression on me. Special thanks to the University for caring and taking care of me. Thank you all!
Chen Xiao: Next, let’s invite Lyu Yuqi, Director of the Education Department of Jiangxi Province, to give a speech. Welcome!
Lyu Yuqi: Thank you! Distinguished team leader Chen Xiao, distinguished director Wang Zhanjun, distinguished experts, teachers and students, good morning! A group of five experts, headed by Chen Xiao, was assigned by the Ministry of Education to Jiangxi University of Technology to conduct a three-day undergraduate teaching qualification assessment. This is a major event in the history of Jiangxi University of Technology, as well as a big event in the history of private higher education. First of all, entrusted by the main leaders of the Education Working Committee and the Department of Education, on behalf of the Provincial Department of Education, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the experts for coming to our province’s colleges and universities to guide their work with admiration and lofty respect. The re-assessment of the undergraduate education is a valuable opportunity for Jiangxi University of Technology to comprehensively study and improve in an all-round way. Experts have expressed specific opinions from different angles, positively evaluated and fully affirmed the University’s achievements in recent years, and put forward accurate and pertinent opinions and suggestions to the questions. The opinions of the Panel are objective and fair, seeking truth from facts, and the opinions and suggestions put forward are pertinent and operative. These opinions and suggestions will help the University’s future undergraduate education and even promote the University’s new one. This round of development is bound to have a far-reaching impact and has a very important guiding significance for the reform and development of higher education in our province, especially private higher education. Since the reform and opening up, under the guidance of the Ministry of Education, under the high attention and correct leadership of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, and the strong support and help of relevant colleges and universities in fraternal provinces and cities, our province’s higher education front has cleverly seized development opportunities and developed by leaps and bounds. There are 95 colleges and universities in the province, with more than 940,000 students. With the development of higher education, private higher education has also made considerable progress. In particular, through the implementation of designated supervisory commissioners and system reform pilot policies and measures, it has further promoted the scientific, innovative, standardized, and harmonious development of private higher education in our province. At present, there are 18 ordinary private colleges and universities in our province, excluding independent colleges. Among them, there are 6 private colleges and universities for undergraduates with 146,000 students. For a long time, private higher education, including Jiangxi University of Technology, has played an important role in promoting the reform and development of higher education in our province. Private higher education in our province has a certain position in the country and has a certain influence. The Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China puts forward the educational requirements for the satisfaction of the people. The Third Plenary Session of the Eighteenth Central Committee emphasized the promotion of universities with distinctive features and striving to be first-class, implementing the spirit of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the Third Plenary Session of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, promoting the distinctive features of higher education institutions and striving to be first-class. Higher education in our province, including private higher education institutions, is the glorious mission and responsibilities of the higher education front in our province. To live up to our mission, requires both our own efforts and greater support from other aspects. We should use this assessment as an opportunity to implement the opinions and suggestions put forward by the Panel into the process of promoting higher education in our province, especially private higher education. The first is to seriously deal with and study the valuable opinions and suggestions put forward by the experts, earnestly and deeply understand and formulate education schemes, implement rectification responsibilities, refine rectification measures, and do a solid job of rectification. The second is to further deepen the reform, implement and deepen the opinions of the Panel into the University’s comprehensive reform plan, to strengthen the connotation construction as the starting point, to strengthen the basic construction of teaching, to strengthen the construction of the teaching staff, to strengthen the teaching and scientific research, and to strengthen the teaching management, effectively improving the quality of undergraduate teaching. The third is to further highlight the characteristics, give full play to the flexible advantages of the private colleges and universities, effectively strengthen the construction of characteristic majors and advantageous disciplines, and achieve characteristic development. At the same time, the Provincial Department of Education will supervise and urge Jiangxi University of Technology to make rectifications based on the opinions and suggestions of experts, to further strengthen and improve service work as always, to support the construction and development of Jiangxi University of Technology, to promote the University’s teaching work to a new level, and to create new glories in various tasks. Finally, I sincerely thank Chairman Chen Xiao and his party and director Wang Zhanjun for their meticulous guidance and great help to the work of Jiangxi University of Technology. At the same time, experts are welcomed to come to Jiangxi colleges and universities to give lectures and guide their work frequently. Finally, I wish all the experts good health and all the best. Thank you!
Chen Xiao: Thank you very much, Director Lyu, for his speech. The review phase of this assessment, re-assessment and improvement of the University is about to end. For the Panel, the visit to Jiangxi University of Technology not only carried out an assessment and inspection work, but also was a good learning opportunity. Especially Jiangxi University of Technology’s hard work, determination to reform, and pioneering and innovative spirit have left us very good impression, which is worthy of our study. So in the end, on behalf of the Panel, I would like to thank the University board of directors, the leadership team, various functional departments and secondary colleges, as well as the teachers and students of the University for their cooperation. Special thanks to all the liaison teachers for their care, help and care in work and life, so that we can complete various tasks in a short time. Therefore, on behalf of the members of the Panel, I also welcome all teachers from Jiangxi University of Technology to communicate and be guests at our University. Finally, we wish Jiangxi University of Technology a better tomorrow. Thank you all!
Moderation Report
of Undergraduate Institution
by Higher Education Assessment Panel
Inspection Time: December 4th-7th, 2018
Expert Group Feedback Report
Positioning and Goals: The University’s top-level design of the University’s orientation and education goals needs to have a sound system, team, resources and management to ensure it. In this regard, the University also needs to continue to carry out in-depth research and exploration, and continue to increase investment and construction. In the process of implementation of the University’s educational positioning and student education goals, it is necessary to further sort out its own differentiated development paths in several universities in Nanchang, and further connect with the development of Jiangxi’s main industries. Once the University’s positioning and education goals are determined, it needs to be transformed into the consensus of the University’s faculty and staff, and through a long period of sustained construction and accumulation can it form a distinctive University-running characteristic. The discipline development orientation of the University’s University-running orientation is “focusing on engineering, management, and art, with coordinated development of multiple disciplines”, and there must be a clear path to achieve. The integration of science and engineering should be emphasized, with engineering as the mainstay; the integration of economics and management with management as the mainstay; both science and culture and art as the mainstay. The structure of undergraduate students is unreasonable. The proportion of undergraduate students has reached 41.5%. The proportion of undergraduate students should be further increased.
Faculty: The total number of teachers is tight, and the report shows that the student-teacher ratio is 18.81:1. Structural contradictions are more prominent, and the structure of professional titles and academic qualifications is not balanced. The proportion of full professors and doctoral degree teachers is small, and there are more teaching assistants and unrated teachers, bachelor’s and non-degree teachers. The number of teachers and the structure of professional titles are unbalanced among different professions. Some majors have a high student-teacher ratio (accounting, financial management, international trade, etc.), and some professional teachers are obviously insufficient. There are few high-level talents and academic leaders. The number of full-time teachers with industry background is insufficient. The construction of the experimental teaching team is not strong enough. The proportion of teachers with senior professional titles is relatively low. The teacher career development service system needs to be improved. The measures and incentive mechanisms to promote the practical and applied research capabilities of young teachers are obviously insufficient. The faculty is highly mobile. Effectively solve the problem of excessively high student-teacher ratio in some majors.
Education Resources: The University has a single source of funding; although the funding for undergraduate teaching is increasing year by year, there is still a large gap compared with public universities; the majors are more traditional and scattered, and it is not easy to gather to form professional groups; the integration of industry and education lacks effective means, and cooperative education methods are not enough; the total amount of curriculum resources is too small; The characteristics of textbook construction are not obvious; the construction of smart classrooms is lagging behind; the library has a large space, but the learning facilities are less, and the opening time is not long enough, especially the electronic reading room; the University informatization development planning and construction, and the student management and service information platform are backward; The allocation of experimental teaching resources according to the needs of discipline and professional construction is lacking; the number of experimental sets is difficult to meet the practical teaching requirements of a large proportion of credits.
Education Process: Some courses in classroom teaching still remain at the junior college level, the teaching methods are too old, the mixed teaching method, and the small-class seminar-style courses are lacking; curriculum education, final exams, graduation practice, graduation design (thesis) should be further improved; There are problems such as simplification of test questions, high pass rates of some courses, and insufficient academic assessment; practical teaching credits account for a high proportion of total credits, and the theoretical teaching credits of basic courses and professional core courses are low; the work responsibilities of the teaching and research section are not clear; The practical teaching management platform, the second classroom credit management platform and other practical teaching management platforms have not been established.
Student Management: Students’ academic guidance and student management need to be further improved and reformed. The proportion of the student management team with a master’s degree is low, most of whom are the graduates of the University.
Quality Assurance: The use of teaching quality monitoring and assessment information needs to be strengthened. The results of the comprehensive assessment of the teaching work of the secondary colleges and teachers, and the results of the teaching supervision and assessment of the teaching need to be further valued and fully utilized in order to achieve the purpose of promoting the teaching work. The strict management of the teaching process needs to be strengthened. The application-oriented reforms of graduation design (thesis) and examination papers are insufficient. Some majors have relatively low requirements for graduation design (thesis), and low requirements for degree thesis.

1.1.1 The Parts Need to Be Improved
The design of University orientation and education objectives needs to be guaranteed by sound system, team, resources and management. In this regard, the University also needs to continue to carry out research, increase investment and construction. In the process of implementing the goal of running a university and cultivating talents, the University should further sort out its ways of implementing differentiated development in universities in Nanchang, and connect with the development of major industries in Jiangxi Province.
After the University orientation and education objectives are determined, it will become a consensus for the whole University staff. Through a long period of construction, we can form a distinctive university running characteristics. The orientation of the University's discipline development is "engineering, management and art, multi-disciplinary coordinated development", which has a clear realization path. universities should emphasize that science and engineering should be supplemented by engineering, economic management should be supplemented by management, science and technology should be supplemented by art.
The distribution of undergraduates and junior college students is unbalanced, and the proportion of junior college students was 41.5%, so universities should further increase the proportion of undergraduates.
1.2 Rectification Measures and Construction Results
Strengthen the quality supervision mechanism and support the orientation of university running. The University has revised The Management Method of Undergraduate Thesis (design) of Jiangxi University of Technology to strengthen the management of undergraduate thesis (design); revised the teaching management documents such as The Scoring Method of Teaching and Teaching Management of Jiangxi University of Technology to stimulate the growth of teachers; revised The Jiangxi University of Technology Teaching Supervision Management Measures to ensure the stability of the supervision team; revised The Jiangxi University of Technology Classroom Teaching Quality Assessment Standard to make teaching assessment more in line with professional characteristics; compiled The Jiangxi University of Technology Teaching Quality Assurance System and The Jiangxi University of Technology Quality Assurance System Collection to further improve teaching supervision mechanism in line with the orientation of the University; Adhere to the daily teaching inspection, the beginning, middle and end of teaching inspection, teaching supervision system and students' online teaching assessment system. Adhere to the monthly discussion of teaching quality, pay attention to teaching quality, and strengthen the whole process management of teaching work. We should increase the proportion of teaching quality assessment and guide the teaching staff to establish the concept of "teaching first" in the work of cadre assessment, professional title assessment and excellent assessment.
1.2.2 Promoting Cooperative Education Based on University-running Positioning and Objectives
Improve the cooperation and communication mechanism, strengthen the cooperation and exchange between universities and enterprises. In order to strengthen the close connection between student education and local economic and social development, the University has set up a development department specially at the department level to take charge of University enterprise cooperation. At the same time, the University constantly improves the communication mechanism of cooperation with enterprises, revises The Work Manual of University Enterprise Cooperation of Jiangxi University of Technology, formulates The Assessment System of University Enterprise Cooperation of Jiangxi University of Technology, formulates The Selection Criteria of Close Cooperative Enterprises of Jiangxi University of Technology, and formulates The Agreement of University Enterprise Cooperation and Construction of Jiangxi University of Technology, so as to actively promote the exchange and cooperation between the University and enterprises and realize the mode of training applied professionals by University and enterprise. In 2019, the president personally visited the University enterprise cooperation enterprises with the leaders of the academic affairs office, the recruitment office and other leaders of the University, carried out in-depth cooperation research, and visited more than 20 enterprises. So far, the University has signed cooperation agreements with more than 300 large and medium-sized enterprises such as Huawei, built 290 off campus practice bases, and introduced more than 800 enterprise mentors.
Strengthen the construction of practice base and promote the integration of production and education. The University revised The Jiangxi University of Technology Off Campus Practice Teaching Base Construction and Management Measures, further standardizing the construction and management of off campus practice teaching base, improving the investment of practice base construction funds, and strengthening the monitoring of off campus practice teaching, so as to make the off-campus practice teaching base construction cooperation orderly, plan teaching, monitoring process, assessment results, and continuously improve the quality and promote the integration of production and education. In the past two years, the University has comprehensively checked 406 off campus practice bases, and eliminated the bases with insufficient cooperation work. Up to now, there are 290 off campus practice bases.
Strengthen the construction of double division team and improve the practical teaching ability. The University is promoting the "double quality" teacher training project, relying on the platform of university enterprise cooperation and deep communication with cooperative enterprises. Through the combination of going out and inviting in, the University encourages teachers to go to enterprises for training and increase practical experience. The University increases the introduction of enterprise teachers and technical backbone to the University as double qualified teachers, teaching for students, at the same time, invite enterprise executives to give lectures, to improve teachers' practical teaching ability. At the same time, the University strengthens the construction of double qualified teachers by means of strengthening the exchange of teachers between the University and enterprise, ensuring the incentive mechanism and so on, so as to form a reasonable double qualified teachers’ team with rich practical experience and the combination of inside and outside the University.
Promote international education and expand foreign exchange and learning. The University promotes international education and strengthens international exchanges. In 2019, the University actively responds to the call of the Ministry of Education and organizes international students to participate in various activities organized by Jiangxi Provincial Department of Education. In order to encourage Chinese and foreign students to study and exchange together, we have set up an English Chinese mutual aid group in the Institute of international education, which allows Chinese students to help them learn Chinese and Chinese culture. At the same time, foreign students can help Chinese students improve their English, so that they can improve each other. The University encourages international students to participate in the 2 + 2 study abroad program in Australia to broaden their horizons and enhance their comprehensive ability and international exchange level. The University actively promotes the strategy of internationalization of education, carries out "3 + 1 + 1" cooperation mode with King's Own Institute in Australia and Richmond, the American International University in London in UK, and offers 8 courses including financial management, computer science and technology, software engineering, etc. In order to strengthen the management of teachers, we should jointly revise the student education scheme of international specialty, introduce international courses and excellent teachers, carry out bilingual teaching, and formulate The Measures for the Construction and Management of Teachers' Team of International Specialty of Jiangxi University of Technology. Through the introduction of high-quality teaching resources at home and abroad, the implementation of credit mutual recognition, and the implementation of classified education, strengthen the mutual development of teachers and students.
1.2.3 Promoting Discipline Construction and Improving the Quality of Education and Teaching
Make clear the idea of discipline construction and realize the first-class discipline construction. According to the "six ones" discipline construction idea of "forming a team, building a platform, determining a discipline leader, training a group of famous teachers, striving for a group of projects and producing a group of discipline achievements", the University promotes discipline construction and leads the common development of multiple disciplines. The University has formulated The First Phase Construction Plan of Scientific Research Team of Jiangxi University of Technology to speed up the establishment of Cross College, interdisciplinary and interdisciplinary innovation team. We should build the subject team and the expert database to produce the subject achievements. In January 2019, the "railway big data information engineering research center" of the University was recognized as the engineering research center of Jiangxi Province by Jiangxi Provincial Development and Reform Commission, which is the second platform of Jiangxi Provincial Development and Reform Commission approved by the University. In July 2019, our university has won a number of national and provincial major science and technology projects, breaking through the national level projects. Meanwhile, Under the background of the development of urban and rural integration, Wang Lingling's teacher's linkage mechanism between registered residence system and farmland property right system was approved, winning the first national social science fund project of the University. Dr. Liu Yanling's "Research on the mechanism of IDO2 regulating liver immune microenvironment and its effect on immune liver injury" has been approved for the project, which has been approved by the National Natural Science Foundation of China for four consecutive years.
Integrate subject resources to build "three haves" subject cluster. The University has formulated The Comprehensive Reform Pilot Implementation Plan of Jiangxi University of Technology (2015-2020), actively promoted the comprehensive pilot reform, continuously integrated the advantageous education and scientific research resources, and focused on building a "three haves" discipline cluster with "strength, achievement and influence". The first is to serve the advanced manufacturing industry and build a mechanical information discipline group. We will focus on building a discipline group with vehicle engineering as the core and mechanical engineering and computer science and technology disciplines as well as leading the development of advanced manufacturing industry and automobile industry in our province, so as to achieve the "strength" of discipline construction. The second is to serve the modern service industry and build a financial management discipline group. Learning from the application of policy-making, internal diagnosis and decision-making consultation in enterprises and institutions, the integration of industry and research, the construction of accounting, nursing and engineering management based discipline group, and the realization of "achievement" in discipline construction. The third is to serve the cultural and creative industries and build the discipline group of art and media. Based on Jiangxi Province, we will create cultural and art communication activities such as "brand art festival" and "exhibition culture", build a discipline group mainly focusing on art design and musicology, serve the development of cultural and creative industries and tourism in Jiangxi Province, and achieve "influential" discipline construction.
1.2.4 Adjusting the Structure of Undergraduate and Junior College and Increasing the Proportion of Undergraduate Students
Adjust the specialty structure of our college and optimize the proportion of students in our college. The University has actively adjusted the structure of undergraduate and junior college majors, with 41 undergraduate majors and 32 junior college majors. Among them, in 2019, the University will add four undergraduate majors, such as data science, big data technology, drama, film and television, literature, and in 2020, it will add three undergraduate majors, such as the development of strategic emerging industries and primary education, which is urgently needed by the society. In addition, the University stopped recruiting automobile marketing and service, mold design and manufacturing majors, because the first volunteer enrollment rate is not high, the quality of employment is poor, and the experimental conditions are insufficient. By the end of 2019, the number of undergraduate students accounted for 62.6% of the total number of students in the University, and the number of junior college students accounted for 37.4%, which was 4.1% lower than that of 41.5% in 2018.
2.1.1 The Parts Need to be Improved
The report shows that the ratio of students to teachers is 18.81:1. The structural contradiction is more prominent, and the structure of professional titles and academic qualifications is unbalanced. The proportion of professors and doctoral degree teachers is less, and the proportion of assistant teachers and unrated teachers, bachelor's degree teachers and teachers without a degree is more. The number of teachers and the structure of professional titles are unbalanced among different majors. The ratio of students to teachers in some majors is too high (accounting, financial management, international trade, etc.), and the ratio of teachers in some majors is obviously insufficient. There are few high-level talents and lack of discipline leaders. The number of full-time teachers with industry background is insufficient, and the construction of experimental teaching team is not enough. The proportion of teachers with senior professional titles is low. The service system of teachers' professional development needs to be improved. The measures and incentive mechanism to promote young teachers' practical and applied research ability are obviously insufficient. The mobility of teachers is relatively large.
2.1.2 Rectification
Effectively solve the problem of high ratio of students to teachers in some majors.
Enrich the number of teachers and strive to improve the team. Based on the needs of the development of the University, we issued The Talent Recruitment Notice of Jiangxi University of Technology to continuously strengthen the recruitment of teachers, especially the part of full-time teachers. We should change the inherent mode of recruitment, recruit teachers at all levels through regular recruitment throughout the year, improve the talent supply and reserve capacity, and meet the needs of all kinds of talents. It is planned to recruit 123 people (excluding administrative posts) in the 2019-2020 academic year. This year, a total of 1603 resumes were received. Through preliminary screening, 1431 people met the requirements, 51 interviews were organized, 445 people were interviewed, 128 people were employed after audit, 112 people had registered and 16 people were waiting to register. The completion rate of the recruitment plan for the academic year reached 104%. Through the implementation of a number of talent projects, the University has formed a full-time teacher team with master's degree, lecturer and above title as the main body. In terms of age structure, there are 637 teachers under 35 years old, accounting for 45.63%; 528 teachers between 36 and 45 years old, accounting for 37.82%; 166 teachers between 46 and 55 years old, accounting for 11.89%; 65 teachers over 56 years old, accounting for 4.66%. The teacher structure has been continuously optimized. In terms of the structure of professional titles, there are 72 teachers with senior professional titles, 348 with deputy senior professional titles, 605 with intermediate professional titles, and the proportion of teachers with senior professional titles is 30.09%. From the perspective of academic structure, there are 125 people with doctor's degree and 925 people with master's degree. The proportion of doctor and master's degree is 75.21%.
Introduce corresponding professional teachers and supplement special professional teacher. In accordance with The 13th Five Year Plan for the Construction of Teaching Staff of Jiangxi University of Technology and Notice on Starting the Supplementary Work of Teachers in the Academic Year of 2019-2020 and other documents issued by the University, we should speed up the recruitment of corresponding professional teachers, make reasonable planning, and make the introduction of teachers forward-looking and planned. Select a new batch of talent service institutions, such as Zhilian and graduate job network. In depth cooperation with the target colleges and universities, special recruitment means for special majors are adopted to ensure the smooth introduction of talents. In 2019, the introduction of special professional teachers has achieved success, with 6 bilingual teachers successfully introduced.
Further optimize the ratio of students to teachers to meet the teaching needs. The University has 30243 students, 1392 full-time teachers, 459 external teachers and 114 experimental technology teachers, with a student teacher ratio of 18.65:1. Compared with last year, the number of students on campus decreased by 260 (equivalent to 6 students on campus), the number of full-time teachers increased by 23, the number of external teachers decreased by 20, and the number of experimental technology teachers increased by 15. The shortage of some professional teachers has been alleviated to a certain extent, and six professional teachers of broadcasting and hosting have been successfully introduced this year.
2.2.2 Improving the Teacher Training Mechanism and Boosting the Professional Development of Teachers
Introduce policies for doctoral education to increase the proportion of potential PhD students. The University has further improved the treatment and policy of doctoral training. On the basis of the original training agreement for full-time and half full-time doctoral degree, the University has revised and added the half full-time agreement and formulated The Nondirectional Training Agreement for Faculty and Staff of Jiangxi University of Technology to help young teachers improve their academic level, encourage teachers to study for doctoral degree in full-time and half full-time, and increase the number of doctoral students The strength of introduction. This year, Dr. Meng Yongsheng, Xue Fengzhen and Xie Yu were successfully introduced.
Approve the right of Assessment of associate professors and improve the qualification of Professional Title Assessment. Relying on the function of the University as a private university and a model in the whole province, we have obtained the right of independent assessment of associate professors for the first time this year. In order to better perform the right of independent assessment of professional and technical qualifications of associate professors and lecturers, and implement The Implementation of Deepening the Reform of the Professional Title System issued by the higher authorities, the University has formulated the professional title assessment standard, introduced the "four degrees" (the same journal, the same direction, the same post, the same repetition) assessment standard of papers, and improved the quality-oriented assessment system of scientific research achievements. According to the requirements of the passing rate of the higher authorities, in order to improve the standard and reduce the passing rate of the declaration of professional titles independently, 19 associate professors and 20 lecturers were approved this year to optimize the structure of teachers. Compared with 2018, the number of promoted associate professors is 21 less, and the number of lecturers is 1 less. Although the number is reduced, the work of professional title can be standardized and the quality of professional title declaration can be improved by changing ideas and improving the assessment standard of scientific research quality.
2.2.3 Firmly Promoting Internal Training and External Introduction and Strengthening the Construction of Teaching Staff
Promote the "four talent projects" and strengthening the introduction and training of talents. On the basis of promoting the "four talent projects" (young teachers' "master's degree" project, young and middle-aged backbone teachers' training project, high-level top-notch talents introduction project and "double quality" teachers' training project), the University launched the "100 high-level talents introduction and training plan", strengthened the external introduction of high-level talents and the internal training of backbone talents. In 2019, the University has successfully introduced a total of 79 graduate students, including one national second-class professor and three doctors. Among them, we should continue to implement the wage system of "one person, one discussion" for the introduction of doctors, and increase support from the aspects of annual salary and children's enrollment. In this year, there are 5 subject leaders (1 full-time, 4 part-time), 41 professional leaders and 17 experts introduced to enrich the construction of teaching staff.
Strengthen the training of young teachers and improve their comprehensive quality. The University has formulated The Implementation Measures for the Plan of Improving Teachers' Practical Ability in Jiangxi University of Technology to enhance young teachers' teaching ability.

2.2.4 Introducing the System to Improve the Mechanism and Improving the Teaching Level of Teacher
Strengthen the construction of double qualified team and improve teachers' teaching ability. Relying on the University enterprise platform, the University deeply exchanges and interacts with cooperative enterprises, and vigorously cultivates "double qualified" teachers with enterprise experience through the combination of going out and inviting in. Within one year, led by the personnel department, more than 60 outstanding young teachers were selected from each college to lead students to practice in enterprises, companies, tertiary hospitals and other cooperative units, and industry or enterprise technology leaders (technical backbone) were employed as practice instructors to guide students' practice. At the same time, the University employs industry elites to communicate with teachers in the University, which provides a new way for the cultivation of teachers. With the help of Alumni Association channels, successful entrepreneurs and excellent alumni are invited to guide students to carry out entrepreneurial practice activities. Jiangxi University of Technology issued The Implementation Measures of the Plan to Improve Teachers' Practical Ability, and established the mechanism of "award, assessment and citation" to continuously improve teachers' practical teaching ability. By the end of 2019, there will be 625 double qualified teachers, accounting for 44.90% of the teaching staff.

3. Teaching Resources
3.1 Rectification Problems and Objectives
3.1.1 The Parts Need to Be Improved
The source of funds is single. Although the undergraduate teaching funds are increasing year by year, there is still a big gap compared with public universities. The major is traditional and scattered, and it is not easy to form a professional group. The integration of industry and education lacks a breakthrough point, and there are few ways to run universities cooperatively. The total amount of curriculum resources is too small; the characteristics of teaching material construction are not obvious. The construction of smart classroom lags behind. The space of the library is large, but the learning facilities are few, and the opening hours are not long enough, especially the electronic reading room. University information development planning and construction, student management and service information platform is backward. The allocation of experimental teaching resources according to the needs of discipline construction is lack of function. The number of experimental platforms is difficult to meet the requirements of practice teaching with a large proportion of credits.
3.2 Rectification Measures and Construction Results
3.2.1 Expanding the Source of Funds for Running a University and Ensuring that the Funds are Sufficient
The University adheres to the principle of "giving priority to teaching". Under the condition that the University funds are all self-raised, the University always adheres to the teaching as the center, so as to ensure the priority investment and reasonable growth of teaching funds, and ensure the timely replenishment of teaching funds.
Raise funds through various channels and expand the sources of funds for running universities. One is to expand the channels of social cooperation in running universities, introduce social funds and carry out cooperative education. The University actively cooperates with enterprises to donate equipment and build laboratories with enterprise characteristics. So far, a total of three laboratories have been built by superstar group, Wuhan Shangguan Technology Co., Ltd., Shanghai PPG Co., Ltd. and Nanchang Hengxin Delong automobile Commercial Co., Ltd., with the equipment value of nearly 300000 yuan. Second, by building a platform for alumni to give back to the University, the University encourages social donations, improves the University running influence, and widely absorbs social donations. The University has received various kinds of social donations totaling more than 4 million yuan through 16 alumni associations. The third is to actively strive for the special funds for the development of private education from the provincial financial departments. In 2019, the University was approved with a special fund of 9.22 million yuan for the development of private education in Jiangxi Province, which will be used for 13 projects such as new construction and reconstruction of experimental (practicing) rooms.
Improve the fund management mechanism and improve the efficiency of fund use. The University actively formulated the fund management system, improved The Regulations on Special Fund Management of Jiangxi University of Technology and Budget Management Measures of Jiangxi University Technology and other documents, strengthened financial supervision and management, and standardized the use of teaching funds. The University has formulated a detailed expenditure budget and teaching funds use plan, fully implemented budget management and strictly implemented it, and achieved orderly budget, supervision and inspection. All teaching units spend teaching funds in strict accordance with the department budget. The University strengthens the supervision of the use of university running funds, standardizes the approval process, implements the economic responsibility system, and the main person in charge of the University is responsible for the financial work of the unit. We should strengthen the efficiency of budget implementation and the effect of fund use, and carry out irregular checks on the use of funds to avoid repeated investment, blind investment and waste of funds.
3.2.2 Optimizing the Professional Structure and Promoting the Development of Disciplines

5.1.1 The Parts Need to be Improved
The academic guidance and management of students need to be further improved and reformed. The proportion of student management team with master's degree is low, and most of them are graduates of the University.
5.2.1 Improving the Guidance System and Cultivating Students' Ability
Establish the carrier of academy system to enhance students' interest in learning. Without changing the existing teaching mechanism, the academic guidance system of college system should be established on the basis of students' professional learning interest and research direction. Let the undergraduates of different grades and similar disciplines enter the college for education, and employ the professional leaders, backbone of disciplines, professors and experts of the college as tutors to teach and coach. Form outside the classroom to provide students with a comprehensive learning and practice platform, with multi-dimensional academic guidance, improve the overall quality of students.
Improve the academic guidance mechanism and improve the learning effect of students. The University implements the contact system between counselors and teachers, which requires counselors and teachers to strengthen communication, timely grasp students' classroom learning status, and understand students' learning effect. To put forward the academic guidance and help, correct students' professional learning attitude, improve the learning effect.

Social practice has produced 21 research reports, social practice cases and 13 excellent projects. The University organized students to participate in the three national competitions, with more than 300 students participating in a single competition, and won 973 awards at or above the provincial level, including 760 at the national level.
5.2.2 Strengthening the Construction of Guidance Team and keeping the Stability of Guidance Team
Making scientific development plan and strengthening the construction of counselor team. In order to strengthen the professionalization and specialization of the counselor team in the University, in 2019, the University formulated The Five Year Development Plan for the Construction and Development of the Counselor Team of Jiangxi University of Technology (2019-2023), which specifies the training path, growth plan and development goal of the counselor team in the University in the next five years. In terms of academic promotion, the proportion of master degree is required to achieve in terms of professional quality, the goal is to build a team of learning counselors with reasonable academic structure, excellent professional ability, solid work style and certain scientific research ability. The "plan" is implemented by stages and is divided into three steps to achieve the set goals and tasks (that is, to complete the basic tasks by 2023).
Strengthen training in various ways to improve counselors' professional ability. The University constantly builds up a team of counselors, and strengthens the counselors' awareness of scientific research by carrying out a number of work, such as counselors' scientific research training meeting, annual excellent paper assessment and so on. On the one hand, experts from outside the University are invited to attend lectures, report meetings and counseling salons; on the other hand, personnel are selected to participate in national and provincial training classes for counselors. After returning to University, the trainees share their learning experience through learning sharing meetings; they also participate in counselors' quality and ability competition, simulation teaching, situational dialogue and training. We should strengthen the professional and professional level of counselors. In 2019, there are 33 college counselors in graduate University, and 14 have obtained graduate degree and degree. Since the implementation of the rectification work, 25% of college counselors have improved their degree. The professional background of the counselor team is ideological and political education, the number of which is 24, and the academic level has a rising trend year by year.
Strengthening post assessment and monitoring to improve counselors' ability to perform their duties. The first is to formulate The Jiangxi University of Technology Class Guide (Counselor) Work Assessment Method, quantitative counselor work assessment content. Standardize the work attitude, work performance, academic research and competition guidance, self-development and other aspects, and carry out assessment through business self-assessment, college assessment and University accreditation. The second is to implement the "one vote veto" system for the violation of discipline in the work of counselors, strictly investigate and deal with the behavior of accepting students' gifts and sharing awards and grants in respect of counselors' participation in scholarship assessment, students' joining the party development and other major principal issues, and resolutely eliminate the counselors from the counselor team.
Strengthen the construction of monitoring platform and the monitoring of teaching quality. In order to collect the normal monitoring data of teaching quality, the university has built a higher education quality assurance system and a network teaching platform of Jiangxi University of Technology. The quality assurance system of higher education can collect, sort and analyze the data of teaching work in an all-round and multi-dimensional way, and take it as an important basis for the University to summarize and adjust its teaching policies and measures. The network teaching platform has the functions of course network resources, teachers and students' online assessment of teaching and learning, and it can also carry out online assessment of learning and teaching on a regular basis, which has a good supervision function for teachers and students.
Pay attention to the use of assessment results and strengthen the management of year-end assessment. The University attaches importance to the application of teaching quality assessment results. First, it applies teaching and teaching management scoring to performance pay. In the payment of performance pay, distinguish between positive and negative points. The second is to apply the results of daily teaching monitoring to the selection of excellent teaching quality award and "top ten teachers". Daily teaching monitoring and assessment of excellent and good situation, as the assessment index. The third is to apply the teaching assessment to the professional title assessment. Teachers with excellent teaching assessment can get corresponding additional points. The fourth is to apply the ranking of teaching units to the year-end assessment of the leaders of teaching units. For the lower ranking teaching units, their leaders cannot get excellent results in the year-end assessment. In 2019, the University revised The Comprehensive Assessment Index System of Teaching Units of Jiangxi University of Technology, Comprehensive Assessment Index System of Annual Teaching Work of Teachers of Jiangxi University of Technology, Scoring Method of Teaching and Teaching Management of Jiangxi University of Technology, compiled and printed the "teacher's Manual", and further improved the University's teaching reward and punishment system.

Strengthen the monitoring and assessment of process management, evaluate the depth, breadth and validity of management. In view of the monitoring and assessment of teaching process management, the University adheres to the problem orientation, that is, finding problems - feedback problems - issuing rectification notice - carrying out rectification - looking back. Focus on three aspects of implementation: first, through classroom teaching monitoring real-time improvement. University level supervisors and college level supervisors with corresponding discipline background can judge the classroom teaching effect from the form and content by listening to, patrolling and inspecting the class, and put forward corresponding suggestions; second, regular teaching inspection and centralized improvement. At the beginning of each semester, mid-term, examination papers (Papers) are checked, and all aspects of the teaching process are sampled to ensure orderly teaching; third, the special teaching assessment system is improved. Every year, the assessment of curriculum construction, the assessment of classroom teaching effect of innovation class, the assessment of students' "Three Abilities" and the survey of students' satisfaction are held to comprehensively evaluate the teaching quality and monitor the teaching process.
