Teaching Practices and Innovations for the "Financial Analysis" Course under the Background of New Liberal Arts Education Development

Abstract

As a core course in the financial management program, Financial Analysis has long faced persistent challenges: overly foundational content, monotonous teaching methods, superficial integration of ideological education, and limited assessment approaches. Guided by the Ministry of Education's New Liberal Arts Initiative, the research team repositioned the course to cultivate well-rounded professionals with the ability to solve complex problems, coupled with strong ethical integrity, self-directed learning skills, teamwork capabilities, and communication proficiency. Through innovative measures-including forming study groups, restructuring teaching content, diversifying instructional activities, implementing the “ABC” teaching model, and refining the course evaluation system-significant improvements were achieved in student learning outcomes, teaching effectiveness, and program development. These enhancements demonstrate strong potential for broader implementation. Key words: New Liberal Arts Construction, Learning Group, ABC Teaching Model, Teaching Innovation and Practice As a core course in the financial management program, Financial Analysis holds a central position within the curriculum and represents the most comprehensive professional discipline.However, persistent "pain points" have long plagued this course, severely undermining the quality of talent cultivation. Against the backdrop of China's educational reform, it is imperative to align with the guidelines of the "New Liberal Arts" initiative to systematically restructure the curriculum and continuously advance teaching reform and innovation. This endeavor aims to facilitate the transformation of traditional financial professionals into high-level, intelligent talents. The research team is committed to consolidating students' foundational theories, methodologies, and data application capabilities in financial analysis. Adhering to the principle of "moral education first," we have implemented a series of innovative measures to enhance students' comprehensive abilities in identifying, analyzing, and solving problems, thereby fostering proactive learning, teamwork, and communication skills.
