案例教学与基于合作游戏的主动学习法在《生态经济学》中的协同应用探索

Exploration on the Joint-Application of Case Teaching and Collaborative Game-Based Active Learning in “Ecological Economics”

在“生态约束”时代和“绿水青山就是金山银山”国家战略双重背景下,现代高校教育对生态学和经济学的教育方法的创新和教学方式的有效性提出了更高更复杂的要求。《生态经济学》作为一门重要的跨学科课程,在解决可持续发展的复杂性、培养面向应用型创新人才、培养学生为更可持续的未来做贡献等方面起着至关重要的作用。本文针对《生态经济学》的战略重要性和教与学的现状,提出将案例教学与基于合作游戏的主动学习法进行耦合,并应用于高校课程教学过程的作用机制;对该联合方法的实施策略以及这种组合策略对于激励和吸引学生主动学习生态经济学、促进团队合作以及激发协作思维等方面进行了探讨;结合《生态经济学》教学实践过程中存在的一些问题,提出了相应的解决方案。

Under the dual backgrounds of new era of “Ecological Constraints” and national strategy of “Green is Glod”, modern higher education in Ecology and Economics therefore puts forward higher re-quirements for innovative educational methods and places complex demands on effective teaching and learning strategies. Ecological Economics, as an important curriculum in whole interdis-ciplinary disciplines, plays a critical role in addressing the complex nature of sustainability, nurture graduates as future applied innovative talents, and prepares students to contribute to a more sustainable future. In view of the importance of Ecological Economics and the present situation of ineffective teaching and learning, this paper approaches a joint-applying of case teaching and col-laborative game-based active learning to the process of curriculum teaching, probes into the effec-tive coupling mechanisms and the strategies of combined implementation of these methods, and discusses the suitability of this combined strategy for motivating and engaging students into dis-ciplines of ecology and economics, as well as promoting team works and stimulating collaborative thinking. Based on the teaching practice in Ecological Economics, the probable problems existing are summarized and some solutions provided accordingly.
