浅析《岩石学》课程教学方法与改革——基于美国博伊西大学的对比研究

Analyzing the Approaches and Reform of Teaching on “Petrology” Course—Comparing to Boise State University

摘要: 《岩石学》是高等地质院校本科生的必修课，是其它后续专业课程的基础。笔者基于在中国地质大学(北京)以及美国博伊西大学讲授或学习《岩石学》课程的经历，介绍了国内高校与国外高校在该课程教学方法上的区别。目的是通过对比分析，完善国内高校“岩石学”课程教学改革，以期提高该学科的教学效果和质量，并为其他地质学基础课程教学提供参考。

Abstract: “Petrology” is a compulsory course for undergraduate students who study on geology, and is also a foundation of other following professional courses. The author introduces the differences on teaching approaches between Chinese universities and foreign universities based on the experiences on teaching or studying the course in China University of Geosciences (Beijing) and Boise State University. The aim is to improve the teaching approaches, and therefore the effect and quality of teaching on the “Petrology” course in Chinese universities, and to provide lessons that merit attention for other geology courses.
