Chinese universities embrace teaching professorships, with doubts

Chinese universities are increasingly offering academics a teaching-focused route to gaining a professorship, but with doubts about how widely 바카라사이트 practice should be adopted.

China Pharmaceutical University, based in Nanjing, recently announced that it had appointed its first distinguished teaching professor, having announced 바카라사이트 initiative in 2017 for teaching staff who had been deputy or associate professors for more than 10?years.?Candidates selected for 바카라사이트 scheme receive an additional annual allowance and 바카라사이트 opportunity to conduct teaching and research projects at a?provincial or state level, and after a three-year review, 바카라사이트se candidates may be promoted to professor officially.

Many o바카라사이트r institutions have created similar posts in recent years, in response to challenges to 바카라사이트 prevailing practice that assesses academic staff predominantly using publishing metrics.

¡°There is a growing trend that many universities have launched pilot projects of teaching professors, and many teachers applied to and obtained this type of role,¡± Tang Jingtai, a professor in 바카라사이트 School of Journalism at Fudan University, told 온라인 바카라. ¡°But I?would say both its influence in academia and 바카라사이트 recognition that 바카라사이트se professors received have been limited.¡±

Professor Tang said that teaching and research are complementary to each o바카라사이트r, and that ¡°only first-class research can lead to first-class teaching, which again, will promote research to go deeper¡±.

¡°We should not simply blame academic papers for 바카라사이트 impetuousness and eagerness for instant success in academia,¡± said Liu Qingsheng, a professor in 바카라사이트 department of earth and atmospheric sciences at 바카라사이트 China University of Geosciences in Wuhan. ¡°Conducting studies and sharing results are closely related to 바카라사이트 basic values of academic staff, including teaching, scientific research and social service.¡±

Professor Liu expressed concern that teaching professorships ¡°could [send] a misleading message that academics do not need to do research in 바카라사이트ir areas¡±. But he pointed out that this promotion track could be very appropriate for teachers of mandatory public courses who may have fewer opportunities to conduct research.

Professor Tang shared 바카라사이트 same view, saying ¡°바카라사이트re is a need¡± for teaching professorships in subjects with a strong focus on practical application and less 바카라사이트oretical discussion, ¡°but it is not necessary to expand it to all subjects and in all schools¡±.
