Features: One of the core issues in the reform of talent cultivation models in higher education institutions is the construction of a teaching knowledge system that aligns with modern societal concepts and reflects the level of technological progress. An ideal university teaching knowledge system should possess contemporaneity, advancement, academic rigor, and relevance, and this is specifically manifested in the textbook systems and curriculum content that showcase these advanced theories and characteristics.
Looking at the world today, undergraduate education in higher education institutions increasingly emphasizes the cultivation of students' physical and mental qualities as well as their mastery of foundational knowledge and skills, which has become one of the main trends in the reform and development of higher education teaching. General education, due to its emphasis on fostering scientific and humanistic spirits, promoting holistic human development, and valuing interdisciplinary, broad, and integrated knowledge, is gaining increasing attention from higher education administrators, faculty, and students.
Particularly in China, since the early 1990s, higher education institutions have carried out extensive innovations in undergraduate talent cultivation models, curriculum systems, textbook content, and professional development under the guidance of the "cultural quality education" philosophy, aiming to correct the long-standing tendency of premature specialization and excessive specialization in China's undergraduate teaching.
