应用型本科院校数据结构课程教学改革

Reform of curriculum teaching of Java data structure course for application-oriented institutes

数据结构课程的教学在应用型本科院校存在着较大难度。为此,分析了该课程的教学现状,并以软件学院Java数据结构课程改革作为参考,给出了该课程改革的思路。简化了该课程中相关理论性、抽象性知识的讲解,结合开发的需求,扩大数据结构课程中的数据结构范畴,引入第三方增强型数据结构,比如apache的集合类,并加强其实际应用的讲解。实践证明,该方法能够降低数据结构的教学难度,提高学生的实践动手能力,进而提高其就业竞争力。

It has certain difficulty in teaching data structure in vocational colleges. Based on analyzing current teaching pattern and curriculum reform of java data structure in software school in Nanyang Institute of Technology, some ideas of curriculum reform, such as reducing the explanation of the theoretical and abstract knowledge, are proposed. By studying the practical needs of the major front-line software developers, the teaching content of data structures is expanded. Strong third-party data structures are introduced like apache Commons-Collections, to strengthen the teaching of realistic application. The result shows that the reform can reduce the teaching difficulty of data structure, enhance the practical ability of the students and improve their competitiveness.
