Constructing an Assessment Framework for Forging a Strong Sense of Community for the Chinese Nation within Minzu Colleges and Universities
The education of forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation is a cru-cial responsibility entrusted to Minzu colleges and universities in the new era of China,as well as a significant measure to carry out a mission-deemed fundamental—of"fostering virtue through educa-tion".In addition,the establishment of an evalua-tion index system geared towards this forging of a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation is meant to serve as a strategic apparatus for compre-hensively,objectively,and scientifically gauging the efficacy of educational endeavors in this domain in Minzu colleges and universities.Due to the pre-vious,this paper submits that said education in Minzu colleges and universities aims to cultivate"political consciousness"and"theoretical cogni-tion"among both teachers and students from di-verse ethnic backgrounds,and continuously fortify their"five identities",and ultimately foster their strong consciousness to the preservation of the Chi-nese national community.In light of these impera-tives,the proposed evaluation system for Minzu colleges and universities should delineate four core dimensions:Political consciousness,theoretical cognition,behavioral orientation,and emotional belonging.Furthermore,the dynamic nature of ed-ucational practices within Minzu colleges and uni-versities would necessitate nuanced,tailored,and distinctive approaches to curriculum design and implementation,potentially creating exemplary ca-ses as a reference for other institutions.This would allow an organic combination of general principles with institution-specific initiatives in the education of the Chinese national community,thereby poten-tially enhancing the efficacy of higher educational endeavors aimed at forging a strong sense of com-munity for the Chinese nation.These"distinctive practices and exemplary cases"primarily should encompass educational philosophy,academic strat-egies,management systems,operational mecha-nisms,curriculum frameworks,teaching methodol-ogies,and solutions to key issues in educational reform.Hence,these distinctive practices and ex-emplary cases could be considered as additional components of the proposed evaluation index sys-tem In other words,this assessment system could be structured around the four main components of"political consciousness,theoretical cognition,be-havior orientation,and emotional belonging,"sup-plemented by the"distinctive practices and exem-plary cases"as additional"bonus"items.After constructing the index system,the Del-phi method can be used to scientifically verify the indicators and allocate weights,ultimately forming a comprehensive evaluation index system for forg-ing a strong sense of community for the Chinese na-tion at Minzu universities,utilizing four primary indicators(or dimensions),thirteen secondary in-dicators(namely educational philosophy,devel-opment planning,organizational construction,dis-cipline construction,curriculum design,scientific research,cohabitation and collaborative learning spoken and written language,sports and cultural activities,campus culture,sense of belonging,sense of responsibility,and sense of honor),thir-ty-three observation points,and lastly an additional"bonus"item.The evaluation results will be pres-ented in grades,with A for scores of 85 points or above,B for scores within the 75-85 range,C for within the 60-75 range,and D for 60 points or below.Finally,in the implementation of an evalu-ation index system for strengthening the awareness of the Chinese national community in Minzu colle-ges and universities,due attention should be paid to establishing a sound evaluation and guarantee mechanism.This should include the use of assess-ment results,resource allocation,policy formula-tion,and personnel investment.Furthermore,full leverage of the guidance,regulatory,and construc-tive functions of the evaluation system ought to be harnessed,in order to effectively deepen the con-tent,diversify the forms,and achieve precise re-sults of the education of forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation.
