Recently, the Ministry of Education announced the Notice of the Ministry of Education on the Announcement of the Recognition Results of the Third Batch of National First-Class Undergraduate Courses (Higher Education Notice[2025] No. 9). Two courses from our university, International Trade Practice and Western Literary Theory, were successfully selected as the third batch of national first-class online-offline hybrid undergraduate courses, reflecting a significant breakthrough achieved by our university in course construction and teaching reform.
Two Courses Selected as the Third Batch of National First-Class Undergraduate Courses
The International Trade Practice course, led by Zhang Xuemei, Dean of the School of Economics, is a core compulsory course for the International Economics and Trade major. Since its initial construction in 1994, the course has closely leveraged the geographical advantages of Fujian as a core area of the Maritime Silk Road. Centered on cultivating undergraduate applied and innovative foreign trade talents with Chinese sentiments and international perspectives, it has established the teaching objective of knowledge + ability + quality, reflecting the characteristics of the university's patriotic education base and regional economic development. The course innovatively implements the reform concept of One Center, Two Enhancements, Three Integrations, constructing a four-module hybrid teaching model of Self-study + Classroom + Practical Training + Competition and Innovation. It deeply integrates resources like the Treenity platform and foreign trade simulation training, and actively conducts cross-university co-construction and industry-education integration through virtual teaching and research sections. Experts from within and outside the province have commented that the course's reform ideas are clear and its implementation is robust, meeting the requirements of first-class courses in terms of sophistication, innovation, and challenge, and holds exemplary and promotable value among similar domestic courses.
The Western Literary Theory course, led by Ou Nu, Dean of the School of Humanities, was first offered in 2007. As a high-level theoretical course for the Chinese Language and Literature major, the teaching team addressed the pain points in the four key links of teaching, learning, evaluation, and education by using hybrid teaching reform as a breakthrough. It constructed an organic integration model of ideological and political education in the curriculum, focused on creating generative class, and built a diversified evaluation system, promoting the course's deepening from knowledge transmission to theoretical education. The course established the three-dimensional educational goal of Forging the Soul of Marxism, Establishing the Chinese Framework, and Exploring Western Application, organically integrating Marxist views on literature and art with Xi Jinping Thought on Culture, while also introducing interdisciplinary content such as communication studies to guide students in establishing solid cultural confidence. The teaching adopted a hybrid model of Online Cloud-Based Learning + Offline Immersive Learning: online, it integrated 342 high-quality resources on the Treenity platform to guide students in knowledge-based learning; offline, it enhanced students' ability to apply theory through immersive activities like group discussions and debates. Through a process-oriented + multi-dimensional + differentiated evaluation system, the course effectively stimulated students' learning initiative and creativity. The course team is strong, with the leader Ou Nu being a Fujian Provincial Outstanding Teacher. After four rounds of teaching practice, learning outcomes have been significant, with many pursuing graduate studies, publishing academic papers, and participating in provincial-level-or-above innovation and entrepreneurship projects.
In recent years, our university has thoroughly implemented the deployment requirements of the Ministry of Education and the Provincial Department of Education regarding the construction of first-class undergraduate courses. Guided by the Double Ten-Thousand Plan, the university has systematically promoted course construction and reform, continuously increased support and guarantee efforts, and advanced the quality and efficiency of course construction through multiple measures such as cultivating university-level projects and strengthening the role of course leaders. The simultaneous approval of these two courses as national first-class undergraduate courses is an important achievement of the university's long-term dedication to teaching reform, adhering to the principle of education as the foundation, moral education as the priority. In the next step, our university will actively follow the new trend of AI-empowered education, strengthen top-level design, deepen curriculum reform and innovation, leverage the exemplary and leading role of high-quality courses, and continuously improve the level of course construction and the quality of talent cultivation.
