科技史引入工科教学的实践——以《电磁场与电磁波》为例

传统工科教育主要是基于数学、物理等基础知识开展的理论与实验相结合的具体专业教学。科技史研究的是科学技术发展的社会历史条件,解决何时何地何人如何做出了怎样的成果的问题。将科技史引入到工科教学,可解决理工科学生人文素养缺乏和思维模式单一的问题,也可使学生更加多元化地理解公式与定理。分析将科技史引入工科教学的现实需要,结合《电磁场与电磁波》的课程,在教学实践中带入电磁学发展史的讲授,找到适合的教学方法,并论述此项教学改革的意义。

Traditional engineering education is mainly based on mathematics,physics and other basic knowledge to carry out theory and experiment combined with specific professional teaching.The history of science and technology studies the social and historical conditions of the development of science and technology,and solves the problem of when,where,who made what achievements.The introduction of science and technology history into engineering teaching can solve the problems of lack of humanistic quality and single thinking mode of science with the engineering students,and make them understand formulas and theorems more diversified.This paper analyzes the practical need of introducing the history of science and technology into engineering teaching,combines the course of Electromagnetic Field and Electromagnetic Wave,and introduces the teaching history of electromagnetism in teaching practice,finds the suitable teaching method,and discusses the significance of this teaching reform.
