Abstract

Against the backdrop of deepening education reform and high-quality development of basic education in China, improving the quality of normal university students' cultivation is a core task for normal majors in colleges and universities, and the "Dual-Supervisor System" for undergraduate graduation theses of normal majors is a key measure. This paper focuses on this system, explains its connotation, clarifies the collaborative responsibilities of on-campus and off-campus supervisors, and expounds their roles in consolidating normal students' academic foundation, strengthening practical application and facilitating their career development. The research finds that in practice, there are problems such as unclear supervisor responsibilities, inefficient communication, insufficient enthusiasm of off-campus supervisors, imperfect evaluation mechanisms and inadequate student awareness. In response to these problems, this paper puts forward optimization strategies from the dimensions of system design and subject guidance: clarifying supervisor responsibilities and collaboration processes, optimizing evaluation mechanisms and improving the incentive system for off-campus supervisors, strengthening guidance and education for students and enhancing their initiative in participation. The purpose is to provide references for the improvement and promotion of this system, promote the quality of collaborative education in normal education, and contribute to the cultivation of high-quality teachers for basic education.
