The Recessive role of Part-time Teachers in Ideological and Political Education in Higher Vocational Colleges

摘要

From the perspective of system theory, there is a need to play the recessive role of part-time teachers, but there are some problems because not all part-time teachers are of high equality. Some part-time teachers have no deep educational background, and they can't guarantee both time and energy on ideological and political education of college students. Some part-time teachers ignore in attitude the study of the law of ideological and political education. To play the positive role of part-time teachers play in ideological and political education, we must take good admission, pay attention to process monitoring, and establish incentive and elimination mechanism. In 1999, National Education Work Conference called on to develop higher vocational education. The training goal of higher vocational education is to cultivate high-quality skilled talents for production, construction, service, management, which makes higher vocational colleges not only need a team of full-time teachers adapting to higher vocational education, but also need to keep a certain proportion of part-time teachers, therefore, hire part-time teachers is the one big characteristic of higher vocational education, and a set policy for the development of higher vocational education. The Ministry of Education proposed that the proportion of part-time teachers in higher vocational colleges shall generally be no less than 10%. On the one hand, it is to solve the problem of shortage of teachers in higher vocational colleges and promote the teaching reform, and on the other hand, it is to lighten the burden of funding, reduce running cost and improve teaching efficiency. In 2010, Ministry of Education and Ministry of Finance jointly issued "On Further Promoting National Demonstrative Higher Vocational Colleges and Universities Construction Plan Enforcement Notice". Ministry of education made an increase of 100 backbone higher vocational colleges on the basis of the original 100 higher vocational demonstrative colleges. Backbone higher vocational colleges should make 90% of professional teachers with double teacher quality in the period of 3 years of construction; employ (recruit) professional leaders such as industry influential experts, hire technical and management personnel with industry enterprise background as part-time teachers; within 3 years' construction period, the professional class hours part-time teachers undertake should reach 50%. General Office Opinions of Ministry of Education on Strengthening the Construction of Higher Vocational Colleges' Faculty Construction "(Higher Education Hall [2005] No.5) points out that part-time teachers of higher vocational education can undertake course teaching and practice teaching tasks. Outside experts with strong practice ability or higher levels are mainly enterprises, social experts, senior technicians and skilled craftsmen. The education function and status of part-time teachers in higher vocational colleges are more confirmed in national policies and documents. The concept of part-time teachers in vocational education is defined as: vocational colleges employ part-time teachers from enterprise experts and skilled personnel and skilled craftsman of the society to ensure the fundamental purpose, which is the quality of personnel training, under certain teachers' condition. They are retained for no less than a course or practice to guide the teaching task. Higher vocational colleges' part-time teachers are more enterprise and society experts, skilled personnel and skillful craftsman, who are industry experts, but higher vocational colleges' administrative personnel or counselor, neither etc., nor other colleges' part-time teachers.
