结合实践的高等教育--德国应用科学大学模式

On the Mode of German Applied Universities:Integration of Practical Skills in Higher Education

应用科学大学的核心任务是把科学知识转化为应用,这主要是通过应用型高等教育来实现的。德国应用科学大学人才培养模式的重要特征是在高等教育中融入实践的元素并将其与职业实践结合起来。这一模式要求无论是在本科还是硕士阶段的教学都要有相应的教学计划。各个专业、各个模块和各种形式的教学也都要有相应的教学方案支持。通过多特蒙德应用科学大学的教学实例和经验阐述在高等教育中融入实践元素可以采用的方式和方法,着重介绍案例教学、项目教学及校企合作。

Universities of applied sciences focus their efforts on transferring scientific results into application, mainly by a job-oriented education mode, whose key features can be seen from its integration of practical elements and academic education and the involvement of industry and society. Respective curricular and didactic concepts for the study programs, modules and teaching formats are required. Based on practical experience and examples from Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts （FH Dortmund）, this paper introduces the means and tools for the integration of practical elements into the academic education. A special focus is put on case studies, project studies and industry-university cooperation.
