Research on Applied Undergraduate Education Reform Based on T-shaped Talent Training Mode

Abstract

Construction of application technique universities is the development thought of universities under the new situation. It is also the problem and challenge average undergraduate universities encounter during their process of transforming into application technique universities to do talent training reform. Economic development of modern society needs compound talents. However, students can never adapt to actual demands just depending on single expertise. Horizontally, students need to acquire encyclopedic knowledge. Longitudinally, their expertise is needed to keep certain precision. Based on this, this paper discusses about contents, targets, teaching problems, solutions and expectations of T-shaped talent training mode on the basis of talent training mode of application-oriented undergraduate universities. It is to provide significant references for the research on talent training mode of average undergraduate universities for their transformation into application technique universities.

Highlight professional features of universities and promote core competence of professions. The transverse line and vertical line on T talent training mode are closely related which support each other. The transverse line on top of T stands for basis and premise of students’ development. The vertical line means promotion of their professional ability. Construct practice platform hardware. Consolidate and regulate the existing off-campus production and practice bases thus developing new ones for students. Improve the construction of training rooms and their operating management. Increase the openness of laboratories. Build the operation mechanism of practice platform. Construct interaction and cooperation among production and practice bases, laboratories and teachers’ offices. Facilitate collaboration between universities and enterprises. Coordinate practice segments of students inside and outside school and actually enhance their application ability using practice bases as a bridge. Research teaching materials in the way of reverse practice. Go deep into enterprises to do post investigation, identify their real talent requirements, extract knowledge points, skill points and key work processes and finally do theory transition, lesson plans formation and teaching materials research. Plan to do innovative training on university students. Educational and teaching reform is an important component of T-shaped talent training mode. Universities give innovation projects to teachers and students, provide them with certain expenditure and supply opportunities of innovation training to students thus leading them to quickly enter each professional innovation field, making them contact academic foreland and having them understand developing dynamic of subjects. Plan to lead university students to become selfemployed. Organize activities of entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurial practice. Systematically educate them about entrepreneurial consciousness, entrepreneurial knowledge, entrepreneurial skills and especially entrepreneurial spirit. Further stimulate their entrepreneurial enthusiasm and change their employment concepts.
