学用并重,教研融合——胶体与界面化学研究生课程的改革实践

Cultivation of Researching Abilities of Graduate during Teaching:Implementation Summary in Colloids and Interface Chemistry Course

在研究生基础理论课程学习中,存在所学知识僵化,不能运用于科研实践中;与科研活动脱节,对科学研究的支持作用不明显等情况。因此,我们以胶体与界面化学课程为例,通过课堂讲授与启发式讨论的精确配合、理论知识的学与用并重、基础理论与前沿研究的良好衔接以及挖掘经典理论发展中的科研历程等措施,使学生有能力灵活运用所学理论知识解决实际科研中的问题,避免理论课程与实验室科研活动脱节,培养从实验结果中抽象模型、演绎理论、批判性解读现有结果等科研能力,启蒙其科学思维,为研究工作打下基础。

Currently, there is a large gap between the classical courses of graduate and lab research activities, which gives graduates/supervisors an incorrect impression that classical course learning does not benefit their lab works too much. To bridge this gap and revise this underestimation on the values of classical courses, we proposed to train researching abilities during the teaching of classical courses through a variety of precisely designed immersion and interactive teaching/learning approaches such as group discussions, introduction of latest developments and applications of classical theories, understanding of paradigm in science developments, etc. We implemented the measurements in the colloids and Interface chemistry course and received excellent feedbacks from graduates as well as course-supervising groups of the university.
