把社会实践“课堂”开在田野上

Core Viewpoint - The current social practice activities in universities often lack depth and fail to fully realize their educational value, leading to a tendency among students to prioritize theoretical knowledge over practical experience [1][2]. Group 1: Current Challenges in Social Practice - Many students engage in superficial social practice activities, which do not foster a deep understanding or connection to real-world issues [1]. - The weight of social practice in comprehensive quality assessments is insufficient, leading to a focus on theoretical learning rather than practical skills [1]. - Students express a lack of opportunities for meaningful participation in social practice, highlighting the fragmented nature of available resources [1]. Group 2: Proposed Reforms for Social Practice - Universities should clarify their responsibility in practical education and encourage a dual-track collaborative education mechanism to integrate academic resources with general education [2]. - The establishment of a credit exchange system between theoretical courses and social practice is recommended to create a positive feedback loop in education [2]. - Pilot programs, such as the spring and autumn practice weeks, have been initiated in several universities to encourage students to engage in social research and community service [2]. Group 3: Enhancing Practical Learning - A "one college, one county" pairing mechanism is suggested to support students in inquiry-based and project-based learning, allowing them to apply their knowledge to real-world problems [3]. - The transformation of traditional education to include practical experiences is emphasized, as real-life scenarios provide essential context for theoretical knowledge [4][5]. - A comprehensive training system covering all stages of practice is proposed, including pre-practice training, real-time support during practice, and post-practice reflection [6]. Group 4: Evaluation and Accountability - There is a need to guard against superficial engagement in social practice, which can lead to a "water practice" mentality where students seek easy credits [7]. - Implementing a defense system for practice results can help ensure the authenticity and effectiveness of social practice, as seen in the evaluation methods used by Wuhan Business School [7][8]. - The ultimate goal of evaluation is to deepen the engagement in practical activities, encouraging students to recognize the intrinsic value of practice beyond mere academic scores [8].
