On November 7, the organizing committee of the National College Student Mathematical Modeling Competition announced the list of winners, and Datong Coal Vocational and Technical College was once again on the list. Two teams from the college tied for the national first prize in the junior college group, and six students including Li Ting, Cui Xinghai, and Zhai Kai were all qualified to advance to bachelor's degrees without taking exams. At the same time, in the 14th Vocational College Skills Competition in Shanxi Province, the embedded technology application development and software testing technology projects won the second prize in the group, and the construction engineering drawing recognition, taxation comprehensive skills, digital mine monitoring technology, and mine disaster emergency rescue , computer network application technology competitions all won third prizes; in the National Coal College Skills Competition, the digital mine monitoring technology competition won the third prize. In a junior college, dozens of students have won multiple national and provincial honors in a year, and the college has won a total of 8 first prizes in national competitions for 4 consecutive years. This is the first among similar schools in the province. It is unique and has impressed peers, lamenting that even undergraduate colleges find it difficult to achieve this. It also presented a generous gift to the newly established Jinneng Holding Group.
Establishing moral character and cultivating people Hierarchical teaching
The college adheres to the school motto of "establishing moral character, cultivating professional ability" and the school philosophy of "having skills and being powerful, becoming craftsmen and becoming talents". It insists on integrating teaching and competition, cultivating both morality and skills, and constantly innovating education and teaching. Method, carry out hierarchical teaching according to the characteristics of student types. On the one hand, we give full play to the advantages of enterprises in running schools and integrate the "position-oriented talent training model" into the whole process of talent training through the integration of industry and education and school-enterprise cooperation. We invite experts from enterprises to teach in schools, and teachers go to the mines to provide technical service guidance. , to continuously improve the teaching level; on the other hand, break the conventional organizational structure such as classes and grades, and select a group of students who are interested in "promoting from junior college to bachelor's degree" and participating in skills competitions for personalized training, so as to realize the transformation of talent training from extensive to refined.
Teacher Wang Tengfei said: "The youth period is the 'joint and booting period' of life, which needs careful guidance and cultivation. The focus of the college's work is to educate people, and moral character is more important than skills. We must persist in cultivating people with morality, and educate students to learn to be human first. Later he became a scholar." Wang Tengfei is a professional course teacher and a part-time counselor. The students affectionately call him "Brother Fei." He regards the school as his home and works hard with students all year round. He works tirelessly to repeatedly set rules, supervise and impose strict requirements on students, so that students can get rid of bad habits and reinvent themselves. In the eyes of students, Wang Tengfei is a magical person who can mobilize the enthusiasm of the team and is determined to participate in the competition. Zhai Kai, the first prize winner of the
national competition, said: "What touches me most is that whether it is daily training or classroom teaching, the teachers are very serious and responsible, and communicate more with the students, which makes us close psychologically."
teacher Integration of competitions and promotion of reform through competitions
The college follows the idea of "integration of competitions and teaching, and the cultivation of both morals and skills", combines skills competitions with teaching work, and the cultivation of students' professional quality, and actively organizes students to participate in various skills competitions across the country to compete. Promote teaching, promote learning through competition, and promote reform through competition, and have cultivated many high-quality technical and technical talents for enterprises.
For students, skills competitions are equivalent to college entrance examinations and are an important starting point for colleges to discover and train students. The college actively explores classroom teaching methods and breaks through the disconnection between theory and practice in the past through "contextualization of teaching content, modernization of teaching methods, and serialization of teaching models", changing the traditional teacher-centered classroom teaching, and creating a close integration of theory and practice. The integrated classroom allows students to enter the training room and develop a thirst for knowledge in practical operations, changing "I want to learn" to "I want to learn." In order to meet the interests and hobbies of different students, the college has established a total of 36 majors in 12 major categories, including popular majors such as robotics, drones, rehabilitation medicine, and aviation services. This year, two new majors have been added: Artificial Intelligence Technical Services and Electronic Information Engineering Technology. Teachers set teaching tasks and goals and carry out heuristic, experiential, inquiry-based and game-based creative teaching, allowing students to become "red flowers" and teachers to become "green leaves", enriching classroom teaching and practical teaching content, and comprehensively Improve the quality of teaching.
Improving quality and cultivating excellence, cultivating both moral and technical skills
People are valued for their ambition, and learning is valued for their expertise.The college focuses on cultivating students' abilities in creative thinking, teamwork, social interaction, etc. Through quality improvement, innovation and hard work, it improves students' hands-on ability and professional skills, fully mobilizes and stimulates students' interest in learning, and improves students' classroom participation and participation. A sense of gain. Take the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering as an example. Through study, students have changed from "academic novices" who "don't know everything" when entering the school to "technical masters" who are proficient in computer programming, mathematical modeling, , and drone control. ".
How can you get the fragrance of plum blossoms without experiencing a bone-chilling cold? Behind success is hard work. Mathematical modeling competitions require students to learn to process massive amounts of data, find patterns in complex problems, use appropriate mathematical tools to solve them, and effectively classify problems and solve them one by one.
contestant Li Ting said: "In the first 20 days of the competition, we trained from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day. There were no holidays or rest days. The instructor trained with us and the competition lasted for 72 hours without a break. The paper I wrote was 30 to 40 pages long, which was very tiring.”
Song Wangtao admitted that his journey to the championship was not smooth: “This is my third time participating in the competition. I didn’t win the first two times, but I gained a lot of experience. After repeated defeats, I will fight again and again. I am not afraid of losing, and I also have a firm motivation and belief in winning. "
Wang Lei said: "What we gain from the skills competition is not only theoretical knowledge and technology, but also the perfect cooperation between teams. The students worked hard, leaving early and coming back late every day, spending time in the library, not daring to relax; during the competition, each team worked tirelessly and united to face every competition at their best."
Everyone excels in the college and develops in an all-round way.
We have always attached great importance to students' ideological and political education, and conscientiously implemented the "Three Whole Education" model for all members, the whole process, and all-round development, and invited experts, scholars, and famous teachers of moral education both inside and outside the school to carry out ideological and political education in various departments of the college. , traditional moral cultivation, humanistic quality cultivation and other activities, implement situational, case-based and activity-based teaching methods according to local conditions to expand students' thinking.
In order to provide more students with more opportunities to participate, this year, the college has designed in accordance with industry standards and organized a school-level skills competition in November. Currently, this activity has been launched for a week and is progressing steadily. While improving students' skills,
College has held a 40-day campus cultural festival since last year, focusing on students' future development and lifelong happiness, and comprehensively improving students' humanistic qualities. Teachers provide voluntary lectures for students outside the classroom, and also Through various cultural and artistic activities, we cultivate their self-confidence, self-reliance, and positive qualities.
How can you see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain? After careful cultivation by the college, the seeds of "not giving up" have been planted in the students' hearts. Wang Lei was deeply touched: "This team was a beacon for me during my school days, giving me a direction and a goal."
Fu Xinru said excitedly when recalling her experience in participating in the competition: "Since participating in mathematics training, After the model competition, I felt that I had truly stepped into the palace of mathematics, and I knew that using mathematical knowledge could also solve problems in industry, commerce, and agriculture!" Teacher Cheng Heling from the Department of Economics and Management of
said: "We have been teaching students intensively since their freshman year! , strengthen education in the professional aspect, provide more encouragement in the spiritual aspect, create conditions in life, strengthen training in daily life, do not allow students to be slack and sloppy, and encourage them to believe in themselves, everyone can excel.”
