医科留学生数学预科教学初探

A Primary Exploration on the Teaching Mode of Foundation Course of Mathematics for Clinical International Students

预科教育是来华留学生从进入我国高校到正式开始专业学习前的一个过渡时期,其教学效果将对留学生融入我国教学环境的程度和后续专业课程学习的质量产生非常重要的影响。本文首先考察了我校留学生数学预科课程的学习现状,发现留学生学员在该课程学习过程中存在的一些问题,包括数学基础薄弱、汉语语言障碍、学习习惯差异和学习意愿不强。然后,通过在教学实践中的观察和与学员的交流,作者分析了这些问题产生的原因。最后,综合教学过程中产生的这些问题及其成因,并进一步结合作者自身临床医学专业留学生的教学实践,从实行分组教学、教学语言的选择、教学内容的选择和组织以及改革考核方式等方面,对如何改善留学生数学预科课程现有教学模式提升教学质量进行了探讨。

For the international students who enter the Chinese colleges,the pre-university education is a transitional period before they begin to study their major courses,and the teaching effect of that will have a great influence on the level of integrating into Chinese teaching environment and the quality of follow-up major courses learning for them.This article first investigates the situation of learning the foundation course of mathematics in our university,and we find some problems arising in the process of learning the course by the international students,including the lack of basic mathematics knowledge,the obstacles in Chinese exchanges,the differences in learning habits,and the lack of study wish.Then,by the observation in teaching practice and communication with the students,the authors analyze the causes of those problems.Finally,combining the problems arising in the teaching process and the causes,and based on the authors'teaching practice of clinical international students,we discuss how to improve existing teaching model for raising the quality of teaching from the aspects of the implementation of group instruction,the choice of teaching language,the choice and organization of teaching content,the transformation of examination and so on.
