岩石力学与工程课程教学改革与实践

Discussion and Practice on Teaching Reform of Rock Mechanics and Engineering in Universities

岩石力学与工程是土木建筑工程、铁道和公路建设工程、水利水电工程、石油工程以及采矿工程等专业的核心课程,这一课程的教学质量在一定程度上影响岩土工程、地下工程、隧道工程等相关专业高层次人才的培养质量及其在实际工程中解决相应问题的能力。针对当前“岩石力学与工程”课程存在教学方法、手段和方式落后,实验教学手段不完善等突出问题,提出了教学和试验改革的新思路。教学改革实践结果表明:学生不仅兴趣更加浓厚,而且自主学习能力增强,实践操作技术提高,本次教学改革取得了良好的效果,并为其它专业课程教学方法改革提供了有益的参考和借鉴。

Rock mechanics and engineering is an important specialized course of many majors, such as civil and architecture engineering, railway and highway construction engineering, water conservancy and hydropower project, petroleum engineering and mining engineering. Accordingly, teaching quality of this course affects the quality of high-level talents training, majoring in geotechnical en-gineering, underground engineering, tunneling engineering and other related majors. Meanwhile, it affects their ability to solve relevant problems in actual projects in a certain degree. New ideas of teaching and testing reform are put forward to solve the outstanding problems existing in the course of rock mechanics and engineering. These problems are the facts that teaching methods, means and forms lag behind and experimental teaching methods are imperfect as well. The practice of teaching reform shows that teaching reform has been not only increasing students’ interest, but also enhancing their autonomous learning ability and improving practice operation skill. The teaching reform has achieved good results and provided useful reference for other majors.
