xiaoxiang morning news summarized that xinjiang tourism has been "hot" in recent years. in 2023, guo shaohua, a retired teacher from the school of civil engineering of central south university, also came to a special "xinjiang trip".
he was about to set foot in xinjiang for the first time, and carefully prepared his suitcase for the trip: a thick down jacket, a large cotton hat... but more importantly, he was the pile of academic materials and academic works accumulated over the years, which were his teaching and scientific research. his hard work is an important "magic weapon" for his journey.
on the 26th, central south university’s wechat public account published an article telling the story of guo shaohua.
former teachers and students become colleagues
at the end of august 2023, guo shaohua, who had retired from the school of civil engineering for three years, received a call from yili. at this time, he had just submitted the application form for senior teachers and was going to xinjiang in early september to start a one-year teaching and research work.
the caller was liu lei, head of the civil engineering major at yili normal university. in 2019, when guo shaohua was teaching at the school of civil engineering of central south university, liu lei was sitting under the podium. at that time, liu lei was one of the students in the doctoral class led by guo shaohua. four years later, guo shaohua retired and joined the zhongnan silver teacher team, and liu lei also grew into a cutting-edge young teacher.
on the phone, liu lei introduced the construction situation of yili normal university to guo shaohua in detail, and warmly welcomed the teachers to teach in yili. the student's phone call gave guo shaohua, who was initially unsure of the situation, a "peace of mind."
see the doubts in the students’ eyes
on september 14, guo shaohua arrived in yili, and liu lei made a special trip to the station to greet him. spanning eight thousand miles, a teacher-student relationship traveled from the south to the northwest of the motherland.
after the reunion, teachers and students have a common goal - to cultivate more successors who are interested in promoting national infrastructure construction and the development of civil engineering disciplines.
at yili normal university, guo shaohua, who returned to the podium to teach, faced students with relatively weak professional knowledge and subject foundation. in the past, at central south university, guo shaohua often discussed difficult points with students while giving lectures. for this group of new students with relatively weak foundations, some noun concepts may become "stumbling blocks" to understanding knowledge. if their doubts are not detected in time, the class will be "taught in vain", which will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of course teaching.
"students' questions can be read from their eyes." guo shaohua is responsible for teaching the main courses of civil engineering at yili normal university, which is an important part of laying a solid knowledge foundation for students. when teaching, guo shaohua pays special attention to each student's eyes. "the knowledge system of students here has not yet been established. it is like a network. if the nodes are incomplete, they will naturally leak out, and hesitation and confusion will be revealed in their eyes. what i have to do is to capture the moment of 'leaking' and help they patch up nodes and build connections.”
in this way, in one class, guo shaohua not only teaches new knowledge, but also supplements old knowledge. sometimes he even needs to connect high school mechanics knowledge points in order to make students understand and learn. "now there are fewer students who are distracted in class, and more students ask questions after class. we have set up a wechat learning exchange group, and there are students who want to be admitted to central south university (university) for graduate school." guo shaohua is pleased to see the changes happening little by little. .
during his teaching career, guo shaohua guided junior students to participate in the 16th national college student structural design competition and won the third prize for their work. this is the first time that students majoring in civil engineering from yili normal university have participated in a national competition, and it is also the first time that they have won honors in a national competition.
to take a course well, you must also build a major well.
in an education training lecture, guo shaohua shared his classroom teaching experience with all teachers in the school of physical science and technology on the topic of "tao and techniques in classroom teaching". liu lei once again sat in the audience as a "student". “teacher guo can flexibly use a variety of teaching methods to allow students to develop the habit of independent thinking while receiving knowledge.” he felt this deeply when he was attending classes at central south university. “at that time, i could always be there for him. gain cutting-edge knowledge and unique insights.”
after guo shaohua came to yili, liu lei often asked him for advice on curriculum construction-related issues. over the past year, teachers and students have jointly discussed and formulated the civil engineering course syllabus and teaching plan, and designed classroom teaching cases and teaching methods. while ensuring that the course content is both cutting-edge and practical, the innovative format stimulates students' learning interest and initiative. in addition, guo shaohua also participated in two teaching reform projects to help improve the teaching level of professional courses.
"taking good courses is to train a group of people, and only by building a good major can we continue to train groups of people." guo shaohua saw that liu lei, as the person in charge of the civil engineering major, faced many difficulties in promoting the construction of the major, so he took the initiative to assist he carries out professional construction work.
"there must be a process for a major to develop from scratch, from scratch to professional, and this process is not simple." in 1997, when guo shaohua first entered the school of resources, environment and architectural engineering of central south university of technology (the predecessor of central south university) through talent introduction , was also the leader of the civil engineering discipline, and later participated in the process of establishing the school of civil architecture of central south university (the predecessor of the school of civil engineering). "there was no experience to refer to at that time, and a lot of work was like 'crossing the river by feeling for the stones.'" but guo shaohua believed that there were many problems and complicated things, so he just straightened out his ideas and sought breakthroughs, and there was nothing wrong with taking one step at a time.
when he arrived in yili, his past experiences at central south university became guo shaohua’s valuable experience in supporting liu lei in optimizing his professional development. he gained an in-depth understanding of the current status of professional construction through discussions and surveys, discussed development plans with liu lei, helped improve the student work management system, formulated supplementary regulations for undergraduate dissertations, improved professional training plans, and provided targeted guidance for the future planning of the major. "teacher guo's series of countermeasures and suggestions effectively promoted the establishment of management standards for the school's civil engineering major." when former teachers and students became colleagues and close friends, guo shaohua and liu lei discussed and established a standardized professional talent training system.
"we train them, and they will train the next generation! only with a continuous flow can the country have hope and a future!" this is the common wish of guo shaohua and liu lei, to sow the seeds of knowledge, pass on the fire of wisdom, and pass it on from generation to generation.
