国家一流本科专业学科前沿课的教学思考--以有孔虫-古大洋环境重建的重要标志课程为例

建设海洋强国,需要培养具有坚实的专业基础、国际化的视野、很强的创新能力的海洋科学专业高层次后备人才。为此,我们为海洋科学专业高年级本科生开设学科前沿课有孔虫-古大洋环境重建的重要标志。该课程以引导、自主学习、讨论和实验等方式,锻炼学生们通过重建有孔虫及其壳体地球化学特征知识体系,探索其在大洋地层的划分与对比、古洋流重建、古海水化学、古生产力以及海岸带演化等方面国际前沿问题的能力。初步实践表明,对新时代的大学生,这是一种值得推广的教学方式。

Building a nation with maritime power,it is necessary to cultivate high-level reserve talents of ocean science with solid professional foundation,international vision and strong innovation ability.For this reason,we set up a cutting-edge course Foraminifera-A Tool for Reconstructing Past Ocean for senior undergraduates of ocean science majors.By means of guidance,independent study,discussion,and experiment,the course exercises students'ability to reconstruct the knowledge system of foraminifera and the geochemical characteristics of their shells,and explore their international frontier issues in the division and correlation of oceanic strata,the reconstruction of paleocurrent,paleo-seawater chemistry,paleo-productivity,and coastal zone evolution.Preliminary practice shows that this is a teaching method worth promoting for college students in the new era.
