Abstract：Chinese colleges and universities mainly use class hours or learning hours in the sense of class hours to calculate credits and carry out teaching management. However, class hours can not fully describe students′ learning activities and their devotion to study, and lacks concerns about students′ extracurricular selflearning and practice. It will cause many problems, either too many learning tasks being arranged for students or students′ extracurricular learning being ignored, when using class hours as the time dimension of teaching management. What′s more, its theoretical basis is relatively traditional and backward. Colleges and universities in countries and regions where higher education is advanced fundamentally use students′ learning hours to calculate credits and carry out teaching management, and students′ extracurricular learning time required by each credit is much longer than the learning time in class. In view of specific problems in the process of talent training in Chinese colleges and universities, the practice of student learningcentered teaching requires teaching managers and teachers to change old teaching ideas, and reform teachercentered teaching methods. Besides, it is necessary to manage teachers′ classroom teaching time, and increase students′ extracurricular selflearning and practice time.
