《数据结构》课程改革探索

Exploration of Reform of Data Structure Course

《数据结构》课程是计算机专业核心基础课程,但面临重理论轻实践、理论与实际应用脱节、学生自学能力弱、学习主动性不强等问题。文中在教学内容、教学方法、实验设计等方面进行改革与探索,采用"以学生为中心"的项目驱动法加强理论与实际应用的结合,教学上通过项目应用展示分析解决未知、复杂问题的方法,通过实际应用总结理论知识,并设计实验让学生拓展理论知识解决更多应用问题。小班实验教学与未采用这些改革方法的班级比较,表明这些改革有良好教学效果。

Data structure is one of the most essential and fundamental courses of the computer science. However, there are several common issues faced by the general students, one being the failure of distinction between theory and actual practice, another may be the lack of self-teach ability and intiatives among students. This paper will explore and discuss the status quo of data structure course and will attempt to provide suggestions for modification mid reform in areas such as the content being taught, the method used for teaching, and the direction on experimental design, etc.. By using the model of which puts ＂Students is the center＂, we will attempt to enhance the incorporation of theories and practice in the data structure course. By making adjustments to the existing version of class projects, we aim to resolve what have previously been considered complex problems in the content and clarify them once and for all. We will also attempt to generalize the theories and to summarize them into something more simple, as well as to redesign some of the experiments in the hopes that they can effectively be used for theory testing in order to help students better understand the subject. These purposed improvements will be applied to a small experimental class, which will then be compared to classes that have not been improved in any way. The results will prove the effectiveness of the purposed improvements, which in turn can help revolutionize the data structure course.
