　　In the first half of the year, the Ministry of Education made accurate judgments and decisive decisions. Educational administrative departments and universities across the country responded quickly and accurately implemented policies. It organized teachers and students to carry out an unprecedented large-scale online teaching in the history of higher education in China and the history of higher education in the world. In response to the crisis of suspension of education and schooling brought about by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the situation has been reviewed and the crisis has been turned into an opportunity, and a new situation has been opened up, which has set off a "learning revolution" in the field of higher education.

　　To summarize the large-scale online teaching in the spring semester, you can use the four keywords of "stability, reform, win, and love".

　　One is "stable". All regular undergraduate colleges and universities across the country have implemented online teaching, 1.0 million teachers have offered 1.1 million courses, a total of 17.19 million courses; 22.59 million college students have participated in online learning, a total of 3.5 billion people. Among them, 59,000 teachers from 68 colleges and universities in Hubei gave 927,000 online courses, and 340 million students participated in the study. We have stabilized universities in Wuhan, universities in Hubei, and universities across the country. This stability is not simple and passive, but is reflected in the "three rates and three degrees", that is, teachers have a high class opening rate, a high student attendance rate, and a high teacher-student interaction rate; high teacher teaching satisfaction, high student learning satisfaction, and high school High management effectiveness. The national university teaching big data monitoring shows that the opening rate of online courses in colleges and universities across the country reached 91%, the recognition of teachers’ online teaching reached 80%, and the satisfaction rate of students’ online teaching reached 85%. The quality of online teaching and classroom teaching is well realized. Equivalent.

　　The second is "reform". This online teaching has achieved revolutionary changes in teaching, learning, and management in colleges and universities, which are mainly reflected in the "four changes": that is, the "teaching" of teachers has been changed, and the teacher's sense of achievement in teaching has generally improved; it has changed the "learning" of students , Students’ sense of learning gains greatly increased; the school’s “management” has been changed, and the information level of school management has been rapidly improved, and has been substantively improved; the “form” of education has been changed, and it has become a time, everywhere, and everyone can learn The new form of education. Many colleges and universities give full play to their subjective initiative, innovate teaching methods and content in accordance with the time and place, and adopt the forms of “cloud defense” and “cloud graduation” to ensure that students graduate on schedule; use information technology to monitor the quality of online classroom teaching and realize the experience-based, A revolutionary leap from extensive management to digital and precise management.

　　The third is "winning." This online education and teaching practice not only successfully responded to crises, but also turned crises into opportunities, using a "learning revolution" to promote the "quality revolution" of higher education in China. Specifically, it has achieved the "three transformations", that is, the transition from "freshness" to "new normal". Online teaching integrating new technologies such as the Internet and artificial intelligence has become an important development direction for higher education in China and the world. ; From the "monophonic" of the full house to the interactive "dual-channel", the epidemic has opened up the physical distance between teachers and students in colleges and universities, but has shortened the psychological distance between teachers and students, and the point-to-point communication and interaction between teachers and students have been greatly improved. The increase has effectively solved the old and difficult problems of Chinese higher education; the transition from "teacher center" to "student center" has prompted teachers to pay more attention to what students have learned, guide students' inquiry-based and personalized learning, and shift from pure knowledge transfer to The comprehensive training and transformation of knowledge, ability and quality, turning crises into opportunities, and proactively seeking changes, China's higher education has launched a new era of education reform.

　　The fourth is "love". This large-scale online teaching has been devoted to millions of college teachers and benefited millions of college students, reflecting the great love for students. At the same time, in the context of the severe epidemic in the world, Chinese higher education shares the Chinese experience and Chinese solutions of online teaching with an open attitude, actively spreads warm and penetrating love, and contributes to the world higher education in difficult times. power. In the first half of the year, the Ministry of Education launched the English version of "School Online" and "Love Course" two online teaching international platforms. So far, 505 English courses have been launched, covering more than 100 countries, providing hundreds of millions of college students and global learners all over the world. Free and open. The Ministry of Education has conducted video exchanges of anti-epidemic experience with international institutions such as UNESCO, as well as the education departments of Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Tanzania and other countries. The Heilongjiang Provincial Department of Education and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) of Russia conducted online teaching experience exchange , Tsinghua University hosted the "Cloud Sharing" for online teaching in international universities, sharing China's experience and achievements with more than a dozen universities in Asia and Europe.

　　To do a good job in education and teaching after the start of the fall semester in colleges and universities, we must grasp the overall situation and control risks on the basis of the successful experience in the first half of the year, continue to have plans without chaos, be prepared not to panic, and properly handle "dangers" and "Opportunity" opens up new situations in response to changes.

　　We must scientifically study and judge the three factors and two time periods. Three factors refer to the national cross-regional flow of tens of millions of college students at the beginning of the fall, tens of thousands of college students will gather in a high density within a limited area of ​​a school, and they will live together for a long time 24 hours a day. Two periods, one is from now to October 15th, is the peak period for the intensive registration of senior and fresh students in universities and the continuous gathering of various personnel. Second, from mid-December this year to mid-January next year, due to cold weather entering winter and other reasons, some authoritative medical experts have suggested that this may be the time when the virus is active again.

　　In this regard, the Ministry of Education has made a comprehensive deployment and issued the "Notice on Doing a Good Job in Education and Teaching and Epidemic Prevention and Control in the Fall Semester of 2020." Local and provincial education administrative departments coordinate the epidemic prevention and control and education and teaching work, and carefully arrange the teaching arrangements for the new semester. The "Online Teaching Work Guide" is issued as follows, the tripartite health protection agreement is required, the mental health education guidance service system is improved, and the "Tenth All in place" and so on. Each university’s optional actions have their own characteristics. For example, Tsinghua University has formulated three preplans for teaching arrangements, East China University of Political Science and Law has classified and refined examination arrangements for students at all levels, Tianjin University has carried out various forms of experimental teaching reforms, and China University of Geosciences (Beijing) The practice base set up health observation points, and the Communication University of China formulated a physical education teaching work plan.

　　The education and teaching work in the autumn semester of colleges and universities should grasp the following three points: First, the teaching mode of colleges and universities will be transformed from online teaching in the first half of the year to offline teaching, and actively promote the combination of online and offline teaching; Practical teaching such as classroom theory teaching, school experiment teaching, and on-campus internship training will be fully promoted; third, for the possibility of a single school outbreak or an outbreak in multiple schools in a region, relevant colleges and universities should be timely based on the situation Convert offline teaching to a combination of online and offline teaching or fully convert to online teaching. Colleges and universities in all regions must adhere to the principle of focusing on safety and epidemic prevention on the one hand and education and teaching on the other, and transform the "freshness" of online teaching in "wartime" into the "new normal" of China's higher education.

　　At the same time, the Ministry of Education will focus on the following four tasks in the fall semester:

Implement the spirit of the national college curriculum ideological and political construction video conference and the "University Curriculum Ideological and Political Construction Guidance Outline", and select a batch of curriculum ideological and political demonstration courses, demonstration teams, teaching teachers, and research demonstration centers.

　　The second is to comprehensively and in-depth advance the "four new" construction. The new engineering department will build a batch of future technical colleges to strengthen the forward-looking and strategic training of future scientific and technological innovation leaders; deploy a batch of modern industrial colleges to promote the establishment of strong advantages and specialties in universities, and strengthen the training of applied talents. New Agricultural Science will hold a symposium on the first anniversary of the spirit of implementing the important reply from General Secretary Jinping to the principals and expert representatives of agricultural colleges and universities across the country to promote a number of new agricultural science construction projects. The new medical department will develop the "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Medical Education Innovation", promote medical development with new ideas, plan medical education reform with new positioning, strengthen the training of medical students with new connotations, and lead medical education innovation with new medicine. The New Liberal Arts will hold a national conference on the construction of a new liberal arts, issue the "New Liberal Arts Construction Declaration", and continue to launch a series of lectures on Chinese politics and law, Chinese news, Chinese economy, and Chinese art.
