Such situation derives directly from the situation of promoting it, which is that universities and faculty ignore the importance of the scholarship of teaching, the awareness of promoting it is weak; related university institution is imperfect and faculty focus time and energy on scientific research, the input of promoting it is inadequate; the level of the scholarship of teaching is comparatively limited, the capability of promoting it is low; quality of teaching and teaching research descends, the effectiveness of promoting it is poor. The main reason that causes this situation includes: Society treat scholarship in narrow sense; direct improperly and evaluate one-sided.

The faculty should enhance the awareness of promoting it; study and grasp teaching knowledge; cultivate teaching capability; carry out teaching theory research and deal with teaching practice exploration.
