有限元分析课程引入问题式学习(PBL)教学探索

在分析传统教学与问题式学习PBL(problem-based learning)教学各自利弊的基础上, 将PBL教学法引入工科研究生有限元分析课程教学. 通过 改革课程体系和创新评价体系, 整合知识结构, 进行问题设计, 分步具体实施. 优化了教学 内容, 加强了研究生自学能力及科学研究能力的培养, 激发了学生的想象力和创造力. 同时, 对教学内容与课时数的矛盾, 理论教学和工程应用的矛盾以及有限师资和众多学生的矛盾等 PBL教学中难点问题的处理, 作了初步的探索.

Practice of problem-based learning in the course of the finite element analysis

By the comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the traditional teaching model and Problem-Based Learning (PBL), the latter approach is introduced into the engineering graduate course of the finite element analysis. Curriculum design based on PBL is implemented by the renovation of the curriculum structure and knowledge structure, strengthening students’ self-study and research capability, and stimulating their imagination and creativity. The practice of PBL has well balanced the gap between theoretical instruction and engineering application, and the gap between shortage of faculties and large size of students.
