“混凝土结构”自主型实验教学

Independent Experimental Teaching and Learning for"Concrete Structure"

"混凝土结构"实验教学是本科必修课《混凝土结构》极为重要的教学环节,充分体现了混凝土结构课程本身理论联系工程实际的特点。为了改善"混凝土结构"实验教学以演示性或验证性实验教学为主的现状,清华大学土木工程系实施了以学生为主体的自主研究型实验教学,全部实验工作由学生在教师指导下自主独立完成,取得了很好的教学效果。本文主要介绍了自主型实验教学的内容和实施方式,并对教学效果进行了总结。

Experiment is a key segment of the undergraduate course ＂Concrete Structure＂, and fully demonstrates the integration between theory and practice that is the typical characteristic of the course itself. The current experiment segment is mainly performed with illustrative and confirmatory tests. With the purpose of improving the existing state, a new mode of independent experimental teaching and learning for the course was proposed and practiced in the Department of Civil Engineering, Tsinghua University. The new mode asks the students as the main body of the segment, all the test work would be accomplished independently by the students under necessary supervision. The content and the relevant implementation method of the new mode are both presented in this paper, as well as the summary of the teaching and learning results.
