从弗吉尼亚大学看美国高校的教育环境

Educational Environments in American Universities——A Case of University of Virginia

学校的教育环境主要包括三方面内容:一是学校的自然环境、即校园环境;二是学校的人文环境,包括校舍建筑、图书资料、设备设施等;三是学校的教学环境,即课程设置、教学方法等。本文以笔者访学所到的弗吉尼亚大学为一窗口,从三方面展示美国高校优良的教育环境,以期对我国的高等教育有所借鉴。

Taking University of Virginia as an example, the author describes and analyzes the educational environments in American universities mainly from the following three aspects: the beautiful environment inside and outside campus, the advanced artificial environment as embodied in teaching buildings, libraries and facilities, and the teaching environments including curriculum development and teaching methodology. The author concludes the article with the hope that Chinese universities will learn from American universities and make all efforts to create excellent educational environments for students.
