Abstract

Higher education aims to cultivate well-rounded individuals with both moral character and outstanding capabilities. The implementation of a tutorial system for undergraduate students is considered as a viable approach to achieve optimal outcomes. In the era of mega science, where technology continuously innovates and empowers higher education, new possibilities emerge for the implementation of the tutorial system. Although many universities are currently exploring the tutorial system, a standardized paradigm has yet to be established. Drawing upon five years of experience in operating the tutorial system at our university, this study focuses on the management aspects of the system through a questionnaire survey. Specifically, it delves into the overall institutional framework and daily management practices. Furthermore, in-depth analysis is conducted on the timing, frequency, and guidance content of tutorial activities to innovate and establish a paradigm that enhances the institutional mechanisms of the tutorial system. By doing so, this research aims to explore the operation of the tutorial system in the context of the “era of mega science” and to reshape undergraduate education and the broader field of education as a whole.
