Recently, in the 2023 "Chuyi Cup" Hunan Provincial Skills Competition for Vocational Colleges, the team composed of Zhou Jianming, Hu Zehao and Qu Can from the Digital Media Technology specialty of the School of New Media Technology stood out from 54 teams in the province and won the first prize, once again consolidating the first-class and domestic leading "trump card" status of the specialty and its specialty group.
It is reported that since 2017, the students from the Digital Media Technology specialty group have won 2 international awards, 10 national awards, and 8 provincial first prizes in the provincial vocational college skills competition, the national skills competition for vocational colleges, the BRICS vocational skills competition, and the world vocational college skills competition, and the winning students are veritable "kings" in this field.
Zhou Jianming, a junior student in this specialty, served as the captain of the student team, and became a typical "top student" in this specialty with his outstanding resume, such as the first prize of the provincial skills competition for vocational colleges, the second prize of the BRICS vocational skills competition, and the fifth place in the first World Skills Competition for Vocational Colleges.
"Rome was not built in a day. When entering the higher vocational college, The question of "How will you study at college?" has always troubled Zhou Jianming. His counselor, with the typical cases of previous outstanding graduates of the specialty, guided him out of the "cramming learning" and "problem-based learning" in high school, and taught him to learn to control his college time independently to chase his dreams with self-discipline.
The full-time and part-time teachers of this specialty, whether in the classroom or during the practical training of enterprises, have always focused on mobilizing students to take the initiative to think and try. Zhou Jianming remembered that when completing a new VR interactive function, under the guidance of teachers, he took the initiative to find a solution by establishing a connection between new and old knowledge, strengthening the summary of knowledge points, and then conducting practical verification to deepen the understanding of the skills and draw inferences about other cases from one instance.
"Under the guidance of my teachers, we have become the real master of time, and have devoted every moment to the training of logical thinking, the creation of code refactoring, and the optimization of technical solutions, and truly achieved laying a foundation of comprehensive quality in one year, making a progress in two years, and gaining the great improvement in three years." Zhou Jianming said.
Hu Zehao and Qu Can, who participated in this competition, are freshmen in the 2022 class of this specialty. When it comes to how to grow from "rookie" into "king", they said: "Under the leadership of the captain, we follow the training plan every day, clock in on time, and submit progress as required. In order to overcome technical difficulties, the '996' learning system has long become commonplace for us, and occasionally we even have to experience '007'. ”
Hu Zehao and Qu Can, as freshmen, learned that college should be easier than high school, but they now feel the pressure of "involution". "We don't want to be lazy, when seeing that Zhou Jianming, the 'top student' senior who combines all kinds of honors, is working so hard, what reason do we have to be lazy?" They said.
During the epidemic, when they communicated with their former high school classmates, their classmates all felt the "boredom" and "emptiness" under the closed-off management. However, they, under the leadership of their senior, restricted themselves in the training room to "level up and fight monsters" during the school closure.
Not only do Digital Media Technology Specialty Students do "Self-clothing Practice", but also exist in the Computer Network Technology, Cloud Computing Technology Application, Software Technology, Mobile Internet Application Technology and other specialties of the specialties group. The model of driving students' learning style with teacher teaching style, and driving the growth of juniors with the seniors' success has gradually formed and become a trend. It was under this inheritance that students endured the "impatience", sitting on the "back seat", gradually clarified the operating logic of the magical world of digital media in the daily hard work, and began to grow into professional masters.
In the "Virtual Reality Application Development" course for the Digital Media Technology specialty, professional teachers are explaining the importance of developing, mastering and applying this technology to students with the "bottleneck" situation encountered in the field of digital media in China.
Hu Zehao and Qu Can highly recognized the teaching method of professional teachers "curriculum ideology - politics integration". They believe that teachers not only teach them to "know the truth" from the technical level, but also guide them to "know the reason" from the aspects of career planning, era development, and national rejuvenation, so as to stimulate their endogenous motivation.
Every year, the Digital Media Technology professional group will also arrange award-winning students and outstanding graduates to come to the college to participate in a seminar on personal success and the development of the times. Team leader Zhou Jianming said that when he was a freshman, he heard the experience of Xiang Yujie, the first prize winner of the National Vocational College Skills Competition, and felt the brilliance emitted by the strong. "Can I shine bright like him in college?" With this question, Zhou Jianming asked and answered himself on the stage of the first World Skills Competition for Vocational Colleges.
In order to allow more digital media students to combine their personal success with the development of the times, the school has launched and implemented the "New Seed" program, with positive energy themes such as "patriotism, aspiration to strengthen the country, and the trip to serve the country", and coordinates the creation of new media works such as micro-videos, poster design, H5, and public service advertisements inside and outside the college. As various works created by students begin to have a wider impact, the ideas such as "independent innovation", "industry serving the country" and "practical work for the country's prosperity" have started to take root in students' minds.
