Features: To further promote teaching reform and improve teaching quality, the Textbook Review Committee of China University of Political Science and Law organized experienced faculty members long engaged in legal education at the university to meticulously compile this New Era Series of Higher Political and Legal College Textbooks. This series of textbooks strives to meet the new requirements of higher legal education teaching reform. Current legal teaching emphasizes a shift from knowledge transfer to ability cultivation in teaching objectives; gradually moves from traditional classroom lectures to flexible and diverse teaching methods such as case-based teaching and practical teaching in teaching methods; makes full use of multimedia and other modern teaching tools to enhance teaching levels in teaching means; and transforms from a single classroom-centered teaching model to an all-around learning model that combines in-class and out-of-class activities, student-centeredness, and teacher-student interaction. This series of textbooks is specifically designed to adapt to these new trends in legal education.
In terms of content, the textbooks focus on absorbing the latest achievements in domestic and international legal education and research, keeping an eye on the world, the future, and the practical needs of China's rule of law construction. They emphasize the unity of knowledge, theory, and practice. Specifically, the textbooks highlight the systematic nature of disciplinary knowledge; the methods of identifying, analyzing, and solving problems; and the collection of typical cases, organization of reference materials, and compilation of various exercises. All these efforts will not only facilitate students' independent learning, enhance their comprehensive qualities and innovative abilities but also assist students in learning and teachers in utilizing new teaching methods and organizing diverse teaching formats.
In terms of format, the textbooks inherit the advantages of traditional textbooks while striving for innovation to meet the new demands of higher education reform and development in the 21st century. The contributors to this series are either influential academic predecessors in the field of law or emerging scholars in legal research. All of them are frontline teachers with rich teaching experience, deeply understanding the characteristics and principles of legal education and teaching. This series of textbooks is the crystallization of their long-term dedication to legal teaching and research.
