"双一流"建设背景下西北农林科技大学草坪学双语教学改革模式探索

国家"双一流"建设要求全面提升大学生的综合素质和国际视野.草坪学作为草业科学专业重要的专业课程,实施双语教学是教学改革的必然趋势.本文针对西北农林科技大学草坪学双语课程传统教学中存在的问题,基于学校优慕课网络教学平台,探讨了践行翻转课堂教学模式在草坪学双语教学中的实施方法.在本课程改革中设置"课前–课上–课后"3个教学环节,教师能够通过线上和线下混合式教学,公正、客观、实时、全面地了解学生学习过程中的学业完成情况,实现以教为主向以学为主转变,激发学生学习兴趣,促进学生混合式自主学习,培养学生创新能力,提升教学效果和人才培养质量.

Teaching reforms for bilingual teaching of turfgrass science at Northwest A & F Universities under the background of “double-first-class” construction

Building an excellent university and discipline requires careful consideration of the course quality and a clear international vision for the undergraduates who have chosen to enroll. Grassland science is a critical component of professional land management degrees, and thus, the bilingual teaching of “turfgrass science” has become an important part of the educational reform program designed to keep our universities and courses internationally relevant. This study discusses the current challenges around the traditional bilingual teaching of “turfgrass science” at the northwest A & F university and evaluates a new flipped classroom teaching model for the bilingual courses using the online UMOOC teaching platform. We established three teaching links “before class, ” “in class, ” and “after class” in this reform, which allows for the comprehensive supervision of the students’ learning progress. This model could help us realize our key goals of changing from a teaching-oriented to a learning-oriented approach, which should help stimulate students’ interest in learning, promote students’ blended autonomous learning, and improve teaching efficiency and training quality.
