Abstract

The Open University of China has stared the construction of a new major which is TCSOL since 2017. With specific methodologies such as literature research, data statistics based on the Constructionism, from both diachronic and synchronic angles, we have done an investigation on 60 universities and compared psychological theories to construct TCSOL under the perspective of ODE in a scientific and efficient way. During this research, we have found 3 bottlenecks in the development of the major TCSOL in which we want to transfer the teaching method from face-to-face to distant online education. The Open University of China (The Central Radio and Television University which was formerly called) combined with its own development characteristics and advantages, puts forward “Three-Step Development Strategy on the Construction of TCSOL Bachelor Degree” specialized in ODE, which are: Step 1: To renew teaching concepts of distance education and build the knowledge system of distance education on TCSOL. Step 2: To improve and activate the credit banking system, construct standards for learning outcome recognition, accumulation and transfer across regions, schools and majors, and integrate academic education with non-academic education. Step 3: To explore the diversification mode of TCSOL and link the profession, career, and industry.

Highlights

  • The Open University of China has stared the construction of a new major which is TCSOL since 2017

  • The OUC has stared the construction of TCSOL since 2017

  • Because of the exaggeration of "Chinese hot", huge gap of Chinese teachers broadcasting by social media recent years, we found some schools that have the major TCSOL were insufficient in professional strength, reflecting in setting up courses according to what teachers they had instead of what their students need

Summary

Introduction - Why Do We Do

The OUC has stared the construction of TCSOL since 2017. During the research on the development the major, we found that total number of schools who had already constructed this major was keeping increasing recent years. The number of institutions authorized to confer professional degrees in TCSOL has increased to 147, 6170 students have been enrolled in 2018. A large number of graduates cannot find their corresponding jobs, and some choose to continue their studies and escape the employment pressure temporarily Based on knowing these problems, the OUC do investigations to find efficient ways to make use of cooperation to provide more choices for graduates. If we want to make an innovation, it means we have to innovate in teaching concept, teaching mode, teaching method and resources
