Innovative Practice and Promotion Countermeasures of Micro-major in Chinese Universities

Abstract

Traditional talent training at universities can no longer meet the changing needs of talents brought about by rapid social and economic development. A more flexible, faster, and lower-cost talent training method of micro-majors is gradually introduced into the practice of talent training at universities. Micro-major has become an important means to make up for the lagging of majors setting at universities and a supplement to increase the supply of talents in emerging industries. The micro-major curriculum system simplifies theoretical teaching and emphasizes applied practice, which is conducive to better social training. Online and offline teaching methods are generally adopted, and the school-enterprise cooperation model is introduced, which alleviate the shortage of teachers for talent training in emerging industries to a certain extent. However, the development of micro-majors also needs to improve the actual effect of practical teaching, strengthen the construction of dual-qualified and dual-capable teacher teams, and take into account the relationship between micro-majors and general majors.
