Abstract:The fact of poor practical ability of graduates educated by higher education in China is almost inarguable. The deviated comprehension about the practical education orientation or the relationship between practical teaching and theory teaching seriously restricted the improvement of practical teaching quality. The relationship is supposed to be “common aim, common platform, mutual support, mutual penetration and mutual inversion.” In view of this understanding, the principle of constructing the practical education system was put forward. To take engineering faculty as example, the practical teaching content system was constructed, which fully materialized the correct relationship between practical teaching and theory teaching. To adhere to the rule of practical cognition, the system has definitely a principal line with applying and developing modern profession technology through all processes of practical education system, and has a framework of multiple stages and gradations. The standard drafting principles for practical syllabus incarnated the knowledge of practical education orientation and the system requirements.
