依托机械原理课程,培养高阶思维能力

Cultivate ability of high-level thinking based on course of Machine and Mechanism Theory

为适应未来社会发展的不确定性,依托核心课程,培养大学生分析、综合、评价等高阶思维能力变得尤为关键。相应地,与高阶思维能力相匹配的课程教学模式也应具有学生主体、教师主导,挑战性高、开放性强等特点。机械原理是一门技术基础课程,既具有数理及学科基础理论与方法的保障,也具备工程及专业实践项目的支撑,十分适合作为培养学生高阶思维能力的舞台。近年来,北京航空航天大学机械原理课程教学团队立足3个结合(即理论与实践结合、经典与前沿结合、科学与工程结合),从分析仿真、性能评价、创新设计3个层次挖潜机械原理课程中重要知识点的高阶思维训练元素,深入开展探究式、项目化等研究型教学,在提升学生的工程思维、科学思维及人文思维等多维度高阶思维的综合能力方面成效显著。

In order to adapt to the uncertainty of social development in the future,it is of great importance to cultivate the abilities of high-level thinking among college students,such as analysis,synthesis and evaluation,based on the core courses.Accordingly,the mode of curriculum teaching that matches with the ability of high-level thinking should have the characteristics of studentcentered,teacher-led,highly-challenging and open-minded.Machine and Mechanism Theory is a basic course of technology,which guarantees the fundamental discipline theories and methods of mathematics and physics on one hand,and supports the projects of engineering practice on the other hand.It is suitable for cultivating the ability of high-level thinking among students.In recent years,in Beihang University,the teaching team of the Machine and Mechanism Theory course,proceeding from the three combinations(combination of theory and practice,combination of classic and cutting-edge,and combination of science and engineering),explores the in-depth training elements of high-level thinking from important points in the course of Machine and Mechanism Theory,from the perspectives of analysis and simulation,performance evaluation,innovative design;besides,efforts are made to carry out a series of research teaching based on exploration and projects.As a result,great progress is made in terms of improving the ability of comprehensive and multi-dimensional high-level thinking among students,such as engineering,science and humanity.
