Recently, Chongqing Higher Education Association and Chongqing Education Development Foundation selected five candidates for the "Education Award" and five candidates for the "Award of Teaching Star" from Chongqing ordinary higher colleges. Hou Shiying, a teacher from the School of Electrical Engineering, Chongqing University, and Song Chaosheng, a teacher from the Elite Institute of Engineering, stood out from hundreds of teachers from Chongqing ordinary higher colleges and claimed the "Education Award" and the "Award of Teaching Star", respectively.
Ms. Hou Shiying has been teaching for 40 years. Since the course "Electrotechnics Experiment", she has successively taught a series of courses on Electrotechnics such as "Fundamentals of Electrotechnology" and "Fundamentals of Electronic Technology", general education and quality education courses such as "PLC Principle and Application" and "Automatic Control Principle", and multiple major undergraduate courses such as "Perception of Electric World" and "Freshman Seminar". She has also instructed students' "graduation project", "Student Research Training Program (SRTP)", “College Students' Innovative Entrepreneurial Training Plan Program” and other practical teaching links.
Her "Flipped Class Model" has broken the traditional model of "teacher keeps lecturing and has no interaction with students" and cultivated students' ability to think independently. Walking into her "Flipped Class", we can see such a scene, in which some students are sharing their questions and experiences recorded when they watch the video before class, part of them are raising questions in their seats and others are answering, refuting or making supplements. The whole class is dominated by students, and the teacher just stands by quietly and answers questions when needed. In order to cooperate with the teaching in "Flipped Class", Ms. Hou organized the teachers of the teaching team to carry out MOOC construction, digital resource construction and digital curriculum construction of Electronics in Electrical Engineering, among which Electronics in Electrical Engineering (Ⅱ) was rated as a high-quality digital resource sharing course in Chongqing.
Song Chaosheng was well aware that only with excellent professional knowledge, could college teachers nourish students' wisdom and open the door to wisdom for students. They should strive to become "elite teachers" whose academic responsibility is to answer the questions from China, the world, the people and the times, and whose ideological pursuit is to show the path of China, the rule of China and the principle of China.
He has accumulated abundant teaching experience through nearly ten years of front-line teaching, which enabled him to accurately grasp the "concerns" and "acceptance points" of contemporary college students, and easily avoid students' "shielding points" and "silent points". He challenges the teaching in English, practices the basic skills of teaching hard, and attracts students to attend class without empty seats left by right of his passionate classroom atmosphere, thus becoming "the most popular teacher among students". In addition, he actively practices interactive teaching. In his class, it is always hard to get a seat in the front row. He has also won the first and second prizes in the Basic Skills Competition of Youth Teachers and the Excellent Teaching Plan Design Award for two consecutive sessions, and gained teaching honors such as the Advanced Model of Online Teaching Innovation and Application in Chongqing, the first prize of Teaching Achievement in Chongqing, the second prize of Teaching Achievement Award in Chongqing University, and the Tang Lixin Faculty Fellowship of Chongqing University.
