How to practice the spirit of Sichuan Agricultural University

Teacher Yang Heng has been working at Sichuan Agricultural University for nine years since he started working in June 2011. She still remembers that when she first entered the school, as a new teacher, she went to Ya'an to participate in induction training. It was also her first time to come into contact with and understand the "Sichuan Agricultural University Spirit". In the training course, what impressed her most was the story the teacher told about Academician Zhou Kaida. Professor Zhou found that there were several highly sterile hybrids that should be eliminated in conventional breeding work, but he did not back down. Instead, he had the courage to challenge the unfavorable trait of "sterility" and conducted research on the advantageous aspects of this type of rice being easy to hybridize. , and finally successfully broke into the field of research on male sterile lines created by crosses between varieties within the indica subspecies. Teacher Yang believes that patriotism, hard work, unity and hard work, truth-seeking and innovation are the great qualities of doing your best in your job and working hard when encountering difficulties; uniting and working hard for development; and bravely challenging the impossible for innovation. Spirit. It reflects the hard-working spirit of Sichuan farmers who never give up, never give up, persevere and pursue excellence. It is not only the spiritual pursuit of every Sichuan farmer for more than a hundred years, but also the practical quality of every Sichuan farmer who rides the wind and waves to forge ahead in the new era.

1. Patriotism and dedication: care for students with a big heart and be a "spiritual messenger" for students

The People's Republic of China is a socialist country, and the essence of patriotism is to love the people . College students in the new era are the hope for the future of thousands of families and the backbone of China's future in the era of comprehensive prosperity. As a college teacher, when I served as a class teacher, I faced 6 students from extremely difficult families, 1 urban subsistence allowance student, 3 students from single-parent families, 2 repeaters, and 3 students with psychological difficulties. I felt the pressure and burden. responsibility. "Don't abandon, don't give up." Caring for students with a deep heart and being able to have a heart-to-heart relationship with them is the most basic job that a class teacher should do.

What still remains vivid is that on the eve of the summer vacation in 2019, 32 students in the class are about to leave campus to participate in a six-month on-the-job internship. Before departure, I met each student in the office to talk one by one. I hope that through communication, I can guide them to establish a correct world view, outlook on life, and values, build their confidence to set sail in society, and bravely adapt to society and meet future challenges. Looking back, the encouragement and help given to students at that time became the spiritual motivation for students to face the sudden epidemic during the winter vacation of 2020, strictly abide by the school's epidemic prevention requirements, overcome difficulties, write graduation thesis, and find employment units.

During the Spring Festival of 2020, some students reported that a student with psychological difficulties suffered from severe psychological depression at home. This became a deep concern for Teacher Yang Heng during the holiday. Wechat with students’ parents every day to understand students’ psychological changes; report to the college in a timely manner and seek guidance from the college’s psychological teachers; urge parents to seek medical treatment nearby and recommend Chengdu specialized hospitals; contact other students in the class to jointly create a normal environment that promotes the student’s recovery . In the end, with the treatment of doctors, the company of his family, and the concerted help of his classmates, this classmate's condition improved. Not only did he graduate successfully, he also returned to school accompanied by his family to complete the graduation procedures in person and took a graduation photo together.

From the two students who repeated the grade, I realized what it means to do your best. Before the Spring Festival of 2020, while clearing up the credit arrears of students in the class one by one, it was found that two students who had repeated a grade owed more than a dozen course credits. They only have one chance to take the make-up exam, and they must pass all exams to earn enough credits for graduation. In the face of classmates' panic, lack of confidence, and even the idea of ??giving up on graduation, we help them adjust their course selection plans, contact course teachers to make up for the credits of alternative courses, and encourage them to go all out to prepare for make-up exams... final. Two students passed all course assessments and graduated successfully.

2. Hard work: devote yourself to professional construction and serve as the "escort" for students' internship practice

Teacher Yang Heng has served as the director of the laboratory of the Department of Tourism Management since 2015, in charge of professional construction. Experiments, internships, and practical teaching. Tourism management, as a highly applied subject, requires various types of practical teaching bases and graduation internship bases as a platform to support course teaching and student growth. Within 3 years, together with the then director of the Department of Tourism Management, *** analyzed the situation of tourism enterprises in the province and visited more than 30 tourism enterprises. In three years, the tourism management major has initially established 32 teaching practice bases and student pre-employment bases covering five types of planning, resource protection and development, and high-star hotels. In the past five years, these bases have undertaken more than 2,000 practical teaching tasks and solved employment problems for more than 200 students.

2020 is destined to be a difficult and unforgettable year. Affected by the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic, students’ internship and employment work are facing tremendous pressure. On New Year's Eve, I received a call from the internship base, saying that operations were suspended due to the epidemic, and three students participating in graduation internships needed the school's assistance to repatriate safely. Subsequently, graduate interns scattered across the country were faced with the implementation of specific tasks such as checking in for protection, whether to return home or whether to stay in place. Under the leadership of the party and government of the college, the list of dispersed and centralized intern students was carefully sorted out, a contact group was established, students were urged to check in every day, and a daily update system for interns was implemented to actively care about students' life, internship, and learning conditions during the epidemic.

As the head teacher of the graduating class, despite the huge pressure of epidemic prevention and control, he actively recommended employment units and encouraged students to participate in on-campus recruitment; in the face of major epidemics, he assisted students to re-apply and mail employment agreements to promote the employment of tourism management graduates. Teacher Yang Heng said that in order to achieve the goal of building a first-class major step by step, he will always persist in the development of the tourism management major and protect the internship practice of students.

3. Unity and hard work: be kind to others, work together to develop, and be a "good comrade" in the hearts of colleagues

At Sichuan Agricultural University, everyone's growth cannot be separated from the team and the organization. The hard work of one person is not as good as the hard work of a team; behind individual success is the sweat of a team. Teacher Yang Heng believes that she is very lucky this year. It is the "ice-breaking year" of the school's "Double Teaching Plan", which encourages her to find the "coordinates" of being an outstanding teacher, actively prepare for the Undergraduate Teaching Quality Award, and win the special award. What impressed Mr. Yang Heng the most was that in order to prepare for this year’s Teaching Quality Award Competition, the college established a Teaching Quality Competition Leading Group very early to fully deploy and implement the working rules for the Teaching Quality Award. Before the preliminary competition, the college supervisor carried out a careful and detailed inspection of teacher ethics and course files for all participating teachers to ensure that the teachers met the competition requirements. During the preparation process, the party and government of the college cared about the growth of faculty and staff, and the labor union actively organized and coordinated, helping to borrow conference rooms and organize and provide services for the competition preview.

Under the guidance of the "Sichuan Agricultural University Spirit" of "unity and hard work", the teachers united as one, and some suggested clear characteristic teaching concepts from the curriculum concept; some suggested integrating the teaching process into the interactive environment of the course; In the course design, it is recommended to introduce in-depth professional cases in tourism management; someone will do it personally, accompanying her to buy competition clothes, providing cosmetics, and providing psychological counseling before the competition. Along the way, Teacher Yang Heng felt grateful that she was a member of this united team, and felt that this was not her victory alone, but the team's concerted efforts to push her onto the stage and allow her to receive the collective honor of the certificate. The team spirit inspired her to continue to work hard with the teachers to make the future battles more exciting and beautiful.

4. Seeking truth from facts and pioneering and innovating are the practical principles that a university teacher should abide by. Seeking truth from facts, the traditional undergraduate teaching in Sichuan Province is seriously lagging behind, and reform and innovation are imperative. Faced with the reform of online and offline hybrid teaching, teacher Yang Heng took the initiative to go to Wuhan to participate in the teaching training organized by the Teaching Steering Committee of the Ministry of Education to explore the specific application of hybrid teaching methods in undergraduate teaching. Facing the vast room for improvement in the practical teaching of tourism management major, the school-level teaching reform project was successfully established, hoping to stimulate students' "interest" in learning through "problem" orientation and build a "five-in-one" practical teaching model for tourism management major. In teaching and scientific research work, we should take the initiative to learn, pioneer and innovate, and serve our own work with better "knowledge".

With a PhD background in history, she must face the problem of professional transformation. Facing reality, taking the initiative to teach basic professional courses and seeking development while learning the basics has become an inevitable requirement for "realism and innovation". Exploring the direction of scientific research based on its own characteristics, he published the nearly 300,000-word monograph "In-depth Excavation of Dujiangyan Cultural Elements and Research on the Construction of Tourism Products", and has repeatedly undertaken innovative training programs for undergraduates majoring in tourism management, school-level scientific research interest group programs, etc. and tourism management closely related topics. At the same time, I am also honored to serve as the deputy editor-in-chief of the "Leisure Agriculture" magazine, which was jointly revised by the Sichuan Leisure Agriculture Association and the college. Encouraged by the "Sichuan Agricultural University Spirit" and "If you don't break, you don't build." Regardless of your origin, as long as you have a scholar's heart, you will not be afraid of any challenges. There is no end to learning and no limit to innovation.

Conclusion: From the day he started working at Sichuan Agricultural University in 2011, Teacher Yang Heng has been deeply imprinted with Sichuan Agricultural University. The "Spirit of Sichuan Agricultural University" gives her the soul of life as a teacher. When she feels anxious when facing many student problems, when she feels difficult and helpless when faced with challenges at work, when she begins to relax her demands on herself and becomes impetuous, the "Spirit of Sichuan Agricultural University" "Always gives her strength and wakes her up. On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the "Sichuan Agricultural University Spirit", Yang Heng hopes that as the inheritor and practitioner of the "Sichuan Agricultural University Spirit", under the encouragement and guidance of the "Sichuan Agricultural University Spirit", he can become a better "Sichuan Agricultural University person" .
