Abstract: In the undergraduate education system, college educational management departments are the most fundamental units for revitalizing undergraduate education and creating a culture of university quality. This paper analyzes the current situation of teaching organization in college educational management departments: deviation of teaching organization functions, shift of teaching organization focus, formalism of teaching activities, and serious utilitarian orientation. On this basis, with the "Four returns" as the core goal, it proposes paths to enhance the teaching organization quality of university departments: Firstly, return to the dream, accurately positioning itself, filling in shortcomings, and developing in a classified and distinctive manner; secondly, return to common sense, reducing burdens and granting more autonomy to promote teaching innovation; thirdly, return to the essence, balancing the organizational structure and operation mode of universities and grassroots teaching organizations; fourthly, return to the original intention, strengthening teacher ethics, fulfilling social responsibilities, and consolidating consensus on cooperation.

Key words: Teaching organization, Four returns, Department of teaching and research in Higher Education Institutions, Teaching quality
