“985”工程大学人文通识课程类型、教法及效果探析——以华南理工大学人文通识课程体系为例

General Education Courses of Humanities in “985 Project” Universities——Case study of the Curriculum System of General Education Courses of Humanities in South China University of Technology

通过调研华南理工大学人文通识课程体系和教学情况,认为人文通识课程可分为原理讲授型、知识普及型和联系现实型,三种类型并各有不同的教学方法和效果。其中,联系现实型课程主要采用互动教学方式,课程内容紧密关联学生现实需求,教学效果最佳;原理讲授型课程主要采用课堂讲解方式,间以互动提问,教学效果次之;知识普及型课程以课堂讲解为主,师生互动较少,难以吸引学生足够的注意力,教学效果不明显。人文通识课程体系中知识普及型课程所占比例过大,建议削减,同时适当增加联系现实型课程比例。

Based on a survey of the curriculum system of general education of humanities in South Chi- na University of Technology, three types of general education course of humanities could be categorized, i.e. principle - based, knowledge - oriented, and reality - related courses, all of which can be taught with different teaching methods bearing different teaching effects. Of the three types, reality - related courses generally meet students＇ actual needs and be taught interactively and most effectively to arouse students greatest interest; principle -based courses follow expository teaching alternated with interactive teaching, correspondingly resulting in efficient respond; knowledge -oriented courses tightly adhere to expository teaching with very few interaction in class, thus tending to distract students, leading dissatis- factory teaching effect. As the proportion of knowledge - oriented courses is too large, it is suggested that this should be reduced, while the number of reality - related courses should be properly increase.
