Recently, the Degree Committee of the State Council and the Ministry of Education issued the "Professional Catalog of Graduate Education (2022)" (hereinafter referred to as the new version of the catalog), which has aroused enthusiastic attention inside and outside the higher education community.

As the highest level of academic education, the quality of graduate education is directly related to the level of higher education and even the entire national education system, and it also affects the core competitiveness of the country's future.

Regarding the background, meaning, overall thinking, reform measures and other issues of this revision, the State Council's Degree Committee and the academic community have comprehensively answered, explained, and analyzed. This article will not be repeated.

However, if a adjustment or reform wants to achieve the results, it is difficult to achieve the policy itself, and it also needs the close cooperation of the relevant parties. In this regard, it is very important to prepare.

Resolve students' anxiety

According to relevant notices, the new round of graduate enrollment and training launched in the second half of 2023 will be carried out in the new version of the directory. At the same time, the training of students in school, starting enrollment in 2022, and the training of students enrolled in September 2023 will be implemented according to the original subject. It brings some anxiety to students who are about to take the postgraduate entrance examination and employment, and they have not prepared a lot of psychological preparations for the new version of the directory.

The author found through on -site interviews and data collection that these anxiety was mainly reflected in the following two aspects.

On the one hand, worried that it will affect the preparation of the postgraduate entrance examination. After the disciplinary professional catalog is updated, a number of first -level disciplines or cross -disciplines and professional degree categories have been set up, and some first -level disciplines have been renamed. optimization.

Change will bring certain uncertainty and cause students to have some anxiety.

For example, the landscape garden is adjusted from agronomy to engineering, and some students expressed their confusion on the online platform that they didn't know where to go.

At the same time, after the disciplinary catalog is updated, the recruitment content and methods of some disciplines will also change.

At this time, the experience of the chiefs and sisters in previous years may not be much helpful for the students who are preparing for the exam. These students will also feel nervous and worried because of lack of experience in reference.

On the other hand, worry about the future employment situation. The "Administrative Measures for the Professional Catalog of Graduate Education Discipline" at the same time proposes that the setting of first -level disciplines and professional degree categories to implement the method of exploring the pilot first, mature and then enter the directory, and at the same time Establish a adjustment mechanism.

This approach is undoubtedly more cautious, but it will cause some students to worry about in the following aspects.

First, after graduating from the new discipline, can you quickly find a job with your professional counterpart.

According to the communication with graduate students, some of them mainly conduct disciplines and majors in employment.

The second is whether the admission party enrolled talents according to the new version of the directory after graduating after graduation. Some students bluntly said: "If the majors and code of the relevant positions in the exam are updated, but the graduate students are still in the old discipline majors and code. Where will they go in the future?"

Third, although the first -level discipline or professional degree category that has been revoked after the pilot, graduate students can continue to study until graduation according to the original training plan, but do students be recognized by the society after graduation? Is it compared to other students lack certain competitiveness? Will you "lose" in job hunting? Is there a risk of "graduation"? This series of doubts are buried in the hearts of students.

The above two mentality have certain reality rationality, but there are also unreasonable cognition caused by excessive anxiety. In this regard, as far as students are concerned, we must strengthen professional ideological education, establish a professional choice concept of interest first and human -oriented development, and overcome the tendency of professional choices to be too pragmatic.

Relevant departments must also update the directory in a timely manner in the recruitment test and retain the old directory during the transition period to relieve students' worries.

In addition, the relevant departments should be more prudent of the adjustment of the discipline and majors, strictly implement the relevant work standards including the basic conditions including the degree authorization point, adhere to high -quality settings, promote high -quality schooling, and avoid the revocation caused by quality issues. The adverse effects.

Preparation system

The person in charge of the Office of the Degree Committee of the State Council said that when answering the new version of the catalog, a reporter once said that graduate education is the main channel for the self -cultivation of national high -level talents. The discipline majors of graduate education are directly related to the basic structure and type of high -level talents.

However, although the disciplinary professional catalog has a basic and pioneering role, the most fundamental quality of the discipline that has been set up is the quality of school running.

According to the author's team's telephone interview with multiple people units, many units do not have a strong feeling of changes in the new version of the directory name.

They believe that the change of the name is the appearance, and it should be the reconstruction and reconstruction of the connotation and the cultivation mechanism. Whether it is science and technology or humanities and social sciences, graduate students must have solid professional knowledge and practical ability.

If college graduates who enter the job will only talk but do not do it, or do not do well, they will be questioned by employers. This question involves not only the students, but also the level of training of graduate training units.

From the perspective of reality, for some disciplines in the previous version, many training units have been in place in school conditions and school levels, although after years of running practice? Do you have the correct and profound understanding of the new discipline majors? For example, the new version of the directory has added professional degrees of application ethics under the philosophical category. In this regard, how does the training unit combine theoretical and practical, and what kind of curriculum system should be set to achieve the corresponding training goals?

At the same time, do the training unit fully prepare for training plans, curriculum settings, textbook writing, teacher teams, facilities and equipment? Is the corresponding management system complete, can students learn something?

For example, for the first -level disciplines and professional degree categories under the new cross -disciplinary category, how can the training unit be a multidisciplinary knowledge foundation for students in the process of talent training and achieve the integration and penetration of multidisciplinary disciplines? In contrast, candidates are more concerned about the quality of new disciplines.

Building a high -quality education system is the strategic task of my country's education development during the "Fourteenth Five -Year Plan" period.

In recent years, the scale of domestic graduate education has continued to grow, the structure layout has been continuously optimized, the graduate training and management systems have gradually improved, and the ability to serve national strategy and economic and social development has significantly enhanced. my country has become a world graduate education country.

However, with the continuous expansion of scale, whether graduate education can shoulder the important mission of high -level talent training, innovation creation, and serving the society has also become a common concern for the public.

As the basic platform and important carrier of high -level talent training, graduate education firmly grasps the basic conditions and the quality of education is undoubtedly an important starting point for ensuring high -quality development and high -quality educating people.

The adjustment of the disciplinary professional catalog has done a good job of the high -quality development of graduate education in my country from the disciplinary professional structure layout, but in practice, it must be further further in practice. The system and teaching methods are strengthened.

It is necessary to start with the current weak links of graduate education in my country, and further work hard to further improve the level of mentor team, optimize mentor configuration, strengthen mentor responsibilities, innovate training models, optimize curriculum settings, reform teaching methods, and strengthen training quality management.

Do a good job of educating people and employment

According to the theory of educational function, education realizes its ontology by cultivating people, and then trained talents to enter the society, participate in social and political, economic and cultural practice, and derive its social functions.

In other words, only by educational talents to society and obtaining corresponding positions and opportunities can we act on social systems, and then play a role and function on social development.

Therefore, whether it can provide graduates with corresponding jobs is the prerequisite for educational functions.

If talents do not flow to their posts, and society does not provide corresponding conditions, treatment and development prospects for talents, and cannot do their best to use them.

At present, issues such as loss of talents, changing jobs, and switching to some extent reflect this problem to some extent.

At the social level, the public also has doubts about the new version of the directory. It is mainly reflected in whether the society can fully absorb the graduates trained in the new version of the directory? For new first -level disciplines and professional degrees, do employers recognize and provide corresponding positions for graduates? How to avoid the problem of less social demand for professional professionals in a certain discipline, or to cultivate excess, or the demand for more than the amount of demand? How to avoid the quality structure of a certain discipline professional talent with the needs of society? This will also affect the students' willingness to apply for the first -level discipline and professional degree category mentioned earlier.

It can be seen that through the high -quality training of the training unit, graduate students must not only achieve "learning and success", but also strive to achieve "learning and use". This exceeds the category of a single subject. Cooperation and docking.

At the level of training units, when setting up the discipline, not only should you consider academic logic, inheritance, and development, but also closely connect the social needs, and conduct high -quality training for graduate students in the disciplines required by society to ensure that their quality can meet the needs of the post.

In other words, in order to do a good job of educating people and employers, you must start from the entire process chain.

At the government and social levels, according to social needs, it is necessary to update the discipline professional catalog in a timely manner. Pay attention to the type of social changes in talents and adjust the discipline professional catalog in time. In this regard, the updated "Administrative Measures for the Professional Catalog of Graduate Education Discipline" shorten the directory adjustment cycle, and at the same time build a new model of discipline professional construction management of "catalog+list", which has stronger adaptability and higher flexibility sex.

At the same time, it is necessary to predict and monitor the needs of the number of professionals in the corresponding disciplines, make overall plans, avoid the problems of excessive setting or insufficient points of the discipline, and create a good employment environment, and further optimize the social conditions of talent work. This is also the only way for graduate talents cultivated in the new version of the directory to "use" and "good use".
