Analysis of Information Management of Teaching Materials under the Reform of Credit System in Colleges and Universities

In recent years, China has paid more and more attention to education. The Ministry of Education has focused on the teaching reform. With the continuous deepening of teaching reform, most universities in China have adopted the credit system in teaching mode. The teaching mode no longer uses traditional planning teaching. Instead, it is transformed into a new type of dynamic teaching. When equipped with teaching materials, it also abandons the previous planned equipment and is gradually turned into dynamic distribution teaching materials. The dynamic allocation of teaching materials increases the difficulty of management. This paper discusses the shortcomings and improvement strategies in the process of information management of teaching materials under the reform of credit system in colleges and universities. Nowadays, the development speed of China is relatively fast. Under the background of the development of the times, the working mode of many institutions has changed. However, the management of teaching materials in colleges and universities has not kept pace with the development of the times, and the working mode is relatively backward. Some colleges and universities do not realize the importance of scientific management of teaching materials. They usually only value the management quality of teaching materials, and do not value the management efficiency of teaching materials. As a result, the management of teaching materials can not meet the development requirements of colleges and universities, which requires universities to innovate the management of teaching materials and constantly explore better teaching material management programs. 1. The Changes in the Management of Teaching Materials in Colleges and Universities under the Credit System Credit system teaching refers to the effective evaluation of students' learning weight through credits. The standard for students to graduate is to obtain the minimum necessary credits during the study period. The adoption of the credit management system in colleges and universities can further enhance the teachers' sense of competition and promote the students' initiation, enthusiasm and independence. It is obviously conducive to the continuous improvement of students' knowledge structure, and the credit system teaching can also realize the effective sharing of teaching resources in colleges and universities. Nowadays, more and more colleges and universities have begun to use the credit system teaching management mode. Therefore, the management of teaching materials needs to be changed to match the development of colleges and universities. The changes in the management of teaching materials under the credit system are reflected as follows: 1.1. The Teaching Material Management Mode is Gradually Transformed into Personalized Service Management. Since the implementation of the credit system teaching mode in colleges and universities, the previous construction mode of teaching materials is obviously not suitable for the credit system teaching mechanism, which requires colleges and universities to give up the previous administrative 2020 International Conference on Educational Science (ICES2020) DOI: 10.38007/Proceedings.0000425 ISBN: 978-1-80052-001-1 976 class management mode and use professional module class management. Students can choose their own courses during their schooling in accordance with their own learning content and in combination with social development needs, which will lead to different learning contents for students in the same administrative class, differences in students' elective courses, and differences in teaching materials for students. Therefore, when formulating a textbook plan, colleges and universities need to consider the elective courses of students, and promote the transformation of the teaching materials management mode into personalized service management. 1.2. The Difficulty of Teaching Materials Management is Further Increased. After adopting the credit system teaching mechanism, colleges and universities will set elective courses according to social needs. The emergence of elective courses leads students’ need for more types of teaching materials. At the same time, the elective courses of students come from different classes, which obviously increases the difficulty of the sale and settlement of teaching materials and results in the increasing workload of teaching materials management. 1.3. The Procurement and Supply Cycle of Teaching Materials is Significantly Shortened. When setting up elective courses, colleges and universities will take into account the school's own talent training objectives and social needs. When the training objectives and social needs change, the materials used in elective courses will also change. And some elective courses can only know the final number of students after the start of the new semester, which leads to the continuous delay in the scheduled time of teaching materials and to a significant shortening of the procurement cycle of the materials. 2. Problems in the Management of Teaching Materials under the Credit System 2.1. The Planning of Teaching Materials Cannot be Unified with the Later Needs. At present, the teaching material supply mechanism used in colleges and universities is still a planned management mode. In the past, in the the academic year teaching management mechanism used in colleges and universities, the subscription plan only needs to be reasonably formulated in strict accordance with the teaching plan and curriculum needs, and the staff only need to purchase teaching materials from bookstores according to the subscription plan. However, this kind of model is not suitable for the credit system. Because the key point of the credit system teaching mechanism is the course selection system. The first thing students consider in the course selection is whether they are interested in the course. Students will choose different elective courses, so the school don’t accurately know the number of course selection before all students complete the selection of course, and the staff also don't know the textbook demand, which leads to the inability to formulate the subscription plan for elective courses , affecting the formulation of the teaching material subscription plan. 2.2. It is Difficult to Unify the Settlement of Teaching Materials and the Cost of Students Choosing Teaching Materials. Most colleges and universities will use the annual payment registration system in their management. They will require students to pay tuition fees and other fees for one academic year in a fixed month. At the end of each semester, the school will take the administrative class as a unit to settle the students' textbook fees in a unified way. However, after the implementation of the credit system teaching mechanism in colleges and universities, there are differences between students in the teaching materials of the elective courses because of the differences in the elective courses, and there are also differences in the source ways of different teaching materials. Some of the elective course materials are procured by the school agent, some of them are purchased by students themselves, and some of the student choose to borrow from others. This makes the textbook management department unable to follow the pattern of the previous class collective settlement of teaching materials. Students in the same grade will have different teaching material costs . If necessary, the teaching material management personnel need to track each student's use of teaching
