建构主义在高等工程教育教学中的应用

Application of Constructivism in Higher Engineering Education

针对目前高等工程教育教学存在的问题,基于建构主义理论,提出教学方法的改进措施。以建筑环境与能源应用工程专业课程“暖通空调综合课程设计”为例,说明建构主义理论在专业教学中的应用,包含6个步骤:构建知识框架——定义真实问题情境——构建解决思路——协作学习——独立探索——评价和总结。据反馈,该方法可发挥学习主观能动性,提高学习效率,培育学生积极人格。

In view of the existing problem in higher engineering education,an improved teaching method based on constructivism is put forward.Taking the course Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning Design in architecture environment and energy application engineering major as an example,this paper explains the application of constructivism in specialty teaching,which contains six steps:constructing knowledge framework,defining real problem situation,constructing solution thoughts,cooperative learning,independent exploration as well as result evaluation and summary.According to the feedback from students,the new teaching method can stimulate learning enthusiasm,improve efficiency and raise positive personality of students.
