Preliminary study of dialectical relationship between the credit system and tutorial system in our higher education

Abstract

Credit System, a new type and student-centered education system, can fully mobilize the enthusiasm and initiative of students in our higher education. Tutorial system, an also novel type education system, can play a leading full role on decisive guidance to centered students. In our country, credit management in higher education is still at trial stage and mentoring is only applied in part of colleges and universities with better conditions so that without successful and mature experience can be copied. It will be face to new multiple challenges how to carry out the tutorial system under the condition of credit system of higher education. The dialectical relationship between the credit system and tutorial system in higher education will be explored on basis of higher education reform in our country in this paper. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
