“系统动力学基础”本科课程教学思考与实践

Thinking and Practice on the Undergraduate Teaching of "Fundamentals of System Dynamics" Course

"系统动力学基础"是系统科学理论与建模仿真实践紧密结合的一门课程。本文从课堂讲授、实验教学、答疑考核角度出发,提出在课堂讲授方面需要精心准备课件,激发学员的主体意识,综合运用多种教学方法;在实验教学方面需要正确认识实验教学的作用,精心设计理论验证型实验和实际应用型实验;在答疑考核方面需要师生互动,教学相长。最后探讨了课程实施遇到的问题以及改进提高的方法。

＂Fundamentals of System Dynamics＂ is a course that emphasizes the close connection between the theory of system science and the practice of modeling and simulation. We illustrate our perception and practice from the perspectives of theory teaching, experiment teaching, answering questions and evaluation. On theory teaching, we should make good preparation of the slides, inspire students＇ core consciousness, and synthesize variety of teaching methods. On experiment teaching, we should correctly understand the functionality of experiment teaching, and delicately design the experiments for theory validation and practical application. From the aspect of answering questions and evaluation, teachers and students should make good communication that facilitates both the teaching and learning. Finally, we discuss some problems encountered in the teaching and approaches to improve the course.
