苏格拉底教学方法在课堂中的应用——《运筹学》课堂教学改革试验

Socrates Pedagogy in Classroom Teaching of Operational Research

苏格拉底教学方法是著名的古希腊哲学家、思想家苏格拉底提出的,它的主要特征是:并不直接告诉学生知识,是通过对话及讨论问答,使学生自己得到答案,这样学生得到的不只是知识,而且得到思维创造能力。本文以《运筹学》作试验介绍了苏格拉底式的教学方法,通过记录整个授课过程论述了如何使用苏格拉底教学方法让学生更好地掌握这门课程,激发学生的学习信心、学习兴趣和学习的主动性,鼓励学生更好地参与课堂,最后还对本次试验提出一些建议及存在的不足。
