Abstract

This paper discusses the current situation, problems, and corresponding solutions of postgraduate practice teaching in local colleges and universities by combing and comparing relevant literature at home and abroad. It finds that postgraduate placements in local higher education institutions, which lack a clear and transparent industrial background, face numerous obstacles. These challenges include seamlessly integrating student internships with their specific academic research fields, reconciling conflicting interests in mentor research activities with the practical aspects of student internships, carefully managing the complex allocation of intellectual property generated by research results during internships, balancing the ratio of available capacity between students and internship facilities, and cultivating deeper levels of participation and cooperation in the internship ecosystem. To address these challenges head-on, this paper proposes the implementation of a comprehensive 'four-in-one' placement assurance system, tailored specifically for postgraduate students. This innovative system involves the establishment of a robust practice teaching evaluation framework that incorporates input from campus mentors, company mentors, base mentors, and experimental teachers. It also emphasizes the refinement of the placement evaluation process to ensure its efficiency and effectiveness. Finally, it calls for the enhancement of the quality assessment of placements, to provide postgraduate students with an unparalleled learning experience that enhances their professional growth and development. This study aims to provide a reference for similar institutions cultivating applied talents in the same environment.
