On April 14 to 22,faculty’s Mid-term Teaching Seminars were carried out by the basic teaching and research unites of BJTU Weihai, including Physical Education Group, Art Center,Psychology Center,Math Teaching Group, Physics Teaching Group and Physics Experiment Teaching Center. The activities deeply enhanced teaching and research construction at basic level, and sustainably improved teaching quality. Attendees included Professor Xiao Guiping, Vice President of BJTU Weihai; Professor Li Shuchun, Director of
Teaching Development and International Services; and Associate Professor Zhou Hang, Director of Academic Affairs.
Physical Education Group
Teachers discussed curriculum design, sports competitions, attendance management, and emergency response for injuries. Key resolutions included:Introducing emerging sports programs to diversify elective courses and boost student engagement.Strengthening training for injury first aid and refining emergency protocols.Implementing digital monitoring for classes and standardizing physical fitness assessments.At the meeting, it was introduced that a series of competitions of this semester would be held from April to June. The will the sports meet of Beijing Jiaotong University, Weihai University Association Games, soccer league, fencing championship, and dragon boat races. All faculty are mobilized to ensure smooth execution.
Art Center
Teachers reviewed aesthetic education courses, highlighting progress aligned with initial plans but noting issues like absenteeism and low participation. Recommendations included:Refining grading criteria.Dynamically adjusting practical sessions based on student proficiency.
Enhancing aesthetic cognition during performances through pedagogical innovation.
Psychology Center
Faculty focused on optimizing the “Psychology” , addressing gaps in module integration and theory-practice application. Proposals included:Adding experiential learning components.Strengthening attendance tracking and genuine engagement.Improving evaluation systems via feedback mechanisms.
Math Teaching Group
Discussions centered on the course of Calculus, with faculty identifying challenges such as frequent student tardiness, low makeup class attendance, and insufficient autonomy. Solutions proposed multi-party supervision and innovative teaching strategies.
Physics Teaching Team
Teachers summarized mid-semester progress, sharing classroom management insights and advocating for enhanced attendance-scoring systems. They also debated AI’s role in education and strategies for supporting academically at-risk students. Consensus was reached to:Accelerate AI integration into classrooms with standardized guidelines.Revolutionize theoretical physics instruction to improve engagement.
Physics Experiment Teaching Center
The teachers discussed the academic warning issues of the "Physical Experiment" at the meeting. They stated that they would strengthen the management of classroom order, and unify and refine the handling of late arrivals in class as well as the submission rules of experimental reports.
The seminars fostered collaborative problem-solving and knowledge-sharing among faculty. The teachers of each teaching and research section were well-prepared. The process of sharing and exploration in the teaching and research activities further strengthened the teaching discussions among teachers, which made it convenient for teachers to adjust teaching strategies in a timely manner and better improve the quality of classroom teaching.
