Abstract:

This study took Dali University as a sample and researched its professional training program of the credit system. The
research showed the program of Dali University is with standard form and complete content. The problems were mainly as follows: The
total required credit to graduate was too high. Theoretic teaching was over-emphasized while practice was neglected in terms of curricula
system. In theoretic teaching, the credit of compulsory courses was higher than that of elective ones; in practice teaching, the credit of
required part was with high proportion while optional part was weak. Resources restricted curriculum and courses with local or
regional characteristics was inadequate. During the course of program implementation, credit system was changed into school year credit
system. Based on these, this paper proposed concrete measurements and suggestions on revising and implementing teaching plan.
