Abstract

With the development of the era of globalization, the comprehensive quality requirements of college students have increased, and the long-standing shortcomings of my country's higher education system have gradually appeared. The development status and future development of general education has become a concern of people. The purpose of this article is to study the development status and future of general education in universities in the era of globalization. This article analyzes all aspects of the public education system of the country, society, family, higher education, etc., understands the current situation and future development of my country's general education system, discovers the main problems currently existing, and conducts in-depth research on appropriate implementation countermeasures. It aims to provide new perspectives and suggestions for the development of general education courses in my country's universities, and to provide references for the reform of general education. This article conducts an experimental investigation and analysis on the general education courses of self-employment of students in certain colleges and universities in this city. The experimental research shows that only 28.6% of the students who choose the discussion method, case teaching method, and self-directed learning method are used, especially to cultivate students’ learning habits. The self-directed learning method with self-directed learning ability only accounts for 7.25%, which shows that most colleges and universities now have a relatively simple teaching method for general education courses.
