Research Status and Improvement Strategies of "Teaching Research and Reform" in Local Science and Technology Universities ——A Case Study of University of Shanghai for Science and Technology

Teaching research and reform is the core path to improve the quality of university education and adapt to national education strategies. Against the background of comprehensively advancing the construction of the "Great Ideological and Political Course" and promoting the modernization of higher education, it is of great significance to systematically analyze the achievements and characteristics of teaching research and reform in local science and engineering universities. This study takes the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology (USST) as a typical case, adopts the bibliometric method, and retrieves and screens 811 academic papers on teaching reform published by the university from 2021 to 2023 from CNKI and Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform as research samples. Using the SATI tool, a multi-dimensional analysis was conducted on the research hotspots, author cooperation, literature sources and development trends of these papers. The research finds that USST's teaching research and reform has formed a development model characterized by "quality-oriented, demand-driven, practice-rooted and multi-dimensional integration", with core research focusing on five themes: Curriculum Ideological and Political Education construction, innovation of the "Great Ideological and Political Course", new engineering disciplines construction, cultivation of new-type talents, and exploration of teaching modes. In the future, more attention should be paid on adhering to the quality-oriented strategy, breaking disciplinary barriers, and expanding inter-university cooperation.
