Challenges and Practical Approaches to Enhancing Talent Cultivation Quality in Application-Oriented Universities
The quality of talent cultivation is the core of the development for higher education.Application-oriented universities play a pivotal role in advancing the widespread accessibility of higher education,and the quality of their talent cultivation has a direct impact on achieving the goal of building a modern educational powe-rhouse.In view of the five practical difficulties existing in application-oriented colleges and universities,the fol-lowing strategies are proposed:shifting mindsets and focusing on top-level design;aligning with local industrial chains and scientifically developing professional programs;building platforms that integrate industry and educa-tion to foster school-enterprise collaboration and strengthen applied talent cultivation;enhancing faculty develop-ment and continuously improving teachers'professional competencies;and refining a closed-loop quality manage-ment mechanism for talent training that spans the entire educational cycle while raising awareness of talent culti-vation quality.An empirical analysis,using Pingdingshan University as a case study,is conducted to provide valuable insights and serve as a reference for improving talent cultivation quality in local application-oriented uni-versities.
