For the targets of advancing educational reform and innovation, JXUST held the 2024 Teaching Innovation Competition for Faculty at Longfei Teaching Building of the Hongqi Campus on January 11. Huang Zhifan, Member of the Standing Committee of the University Party Committee and Vice President, provided guidance via online observation. The opening ceremony was attended by expert judges, vice deans of academic affairs from various schools.
Pan Chunrong, Director of the Academic Affairs Office, outlined the competition’s procedures and requirements during the opening ceremony.

He encouraged contestants to leverage the competition as a springboard for continued excellence in teaching and mentorship.
Thirty-eight teachers delivered dynamic and insightful presentations on instructional design innovations. Addressing authentic "pain points" in classroom teaching, they shared problem-solving strategies, analyzed course outlines, innovative measures, and impact dissemination, showcasing tangible achievements in pedagogical exploration. During the Q&A session, expert judges provided detailed feedback on the strengths and areas for improvement in the designs, while participants actively engaged in discussions. Over 100 observers attended, gaining valuable insights. Prior to the event, all contestants had submitted recorded classroom videos and innovation achievement reports online.
The competition not only highlighted faculty members’ teaching excellence but also fostered the exchange and integration of innovative ideas and practices. It has infused new vitality into the university’s educational reforms, propelling the professional growth of faculty and contributing to the steady enhancement of talent development quality.
