Xu Aimei,Associate Professor of the Chinese Teaching and Research Office of our college。As a member of the 2014 Youth Teacher of the National Study abroad Fund Commission,Visit the College of Houloon University of Xi'an University of Xi'an, Canada in April 2015。
University of Western Ontario,referred to as UWO,West University) London City, which is located in Ontario with the title of "City of Forests",Founded in 1878,is one of the oldest schools in Canada,and Queen University、University of Toronto、McGill University is collectively referred to as the fourth school of Canada。There are 12 colleges and 3 university colleges,In business、Medical and liberal arts achievements are significant。The main campus covers an area of 1.6 square kilometers,There are 75 buildings in total,The calm and wide Thames passes through the school,The orderly and elegant Gothic castle architecture is distributed in an orderly distribution on the campus,Surrounded by large grasslands around the building、Low Begonia Tree、Tall Maple Tree。Ancient Fort、Grassland、Begonia and Maple Together have different landscapes with the four seasons。
Huron University College is a four -year liberal arts university,School of establishment in 1863,15 years earlier than West University (Xi'an University University),It is one of the three major universities of the West University。Students and Western University Students of the Houmeng College can transfer to each other in the second grade of college,Enjoy all the resources provided by our court and Western University at the same time。Therefore, I chose the courses of the Houlun College and other colleges of West China at the same time。
My cooperative mentor Professor Fang Jun,At the History Department of the East Asia Research Center at the Houlun College,Open "Chinese History"、"Sex of the Late Empire in China、Legal and Society "、"Ten Days of Shocking the World" and other courses,Many years have been committed to the dialogue and communication of Chinese and Western history and culture。Encouraged by Professor Fang,In addition to listening to his course,I also took three courses of other professors-"Introduction to Political Science"、"Introduction to Psychology"、"American Constitution"。Professor Fang Jun's "Sex of the Late Empire in China、Law and Society "and Professor Jim's" American Constitution "is a professional course for the fourth -year students of the Houlun College,Small class teaching,There are about 15 students in each class; the "Introduction to Political Science" and "Introduction to Psychology" are the professional entry of the first grade students of the political and psychological departments of the Social College,At the same time, it is a communication course for students for students bet365 games best slotsbet365 live casino bettingin other schools in the school。These two courses have two classes per week,Class is full,The number of people in each class is 800。This,Elective courses have both large class and small class teaching,There are also professional and general courses。Learn these different courses,It helps me to fully understand the teaching of the arts discipline of West Adults。
I brought the subject with "Teaching Inspection of the Humanities Course of Canada University",After listening to the one -semester of the four -semester of the humanistic curriculum,Although the setting of the humanistic discipline courses of Canada University still needs to learn more,But the teachings and learning of West Adults Classroom have a specific and profound impression,Now do some general introduction from the following three aspects。
bet365 games best slots
Professor Jones Jones's "Introduction to Political Science" (referred to as "Political Science") and Professor Mike Atkinson (Psychology Introduction "(referred to as" Psychology ") Course,Class 101 Classroom 101 Classroom with a first -class teaching facilities and 800 people,Two of the most popular students in the humanistic general course。These two courses are a school year,Two large classes are opened each school year,Two special reports per class per class,Each class selection students are 500-800 people。For class professors,Teaching each class twice a week,From the selection students,It is three times a week,Because you have to participate in a special report guided by teaching assistant every week。From the time of learning,Three days a week to attend the study of the lesson,Add the learning information that you need to update every week,Learning tasks can be described as heavy。But these two courses are still full,800 people's large classrooms often sit on the floor。
The reason why these two courses are welcomed,After listening to the lectures of a semester and after communication with the students and teachers,I think there are three reasons:
First: These two generals are the signature lessons of the Social Academy in itself,When launching as an elective course,Equipped with a strong teaching team with a lineup。Introduction I chose to listen to these two courses, Professor Andy with three most word phrases to describe: "The best professor,The best classroom,The best device "。Dr. Jones and Dr. Exsen are now associate professors,Scientific research and teaching results are very prominent。Professor Jones's work "Global Justice" (published in 1999 of Oxford University Press) won the Best Book Award of the Canadian Political Association,and the title of "Most Popular Books in the Most Popular Books in the past two years,Translation Published in my country in 2014。They are equipped with a strong teaching team at the same time to deal with many problems in large class teaching,For example, Professor Jones's teaching team also includes a teaching coordinator Nigmentra Narain,and 17 teaching assistants。Nidella is the young teacher of the political department,In addition to operating a computer in the classroom, with Professor Jones and answering students' Bet365 Casino loginbet365 games best slotsquestions,It is also responsible for updating the network content on the course network platform,Post the latest information,Upload the class summary of each class synchronously,Reading materials and processes of each group,A notice will be issued in advance to urge students to prepare for the mid -examination、Submit the end of the papers。17 teaching assistants are Professor Jones’s graduate students,Group hosting and leading students to do special lectures every week。Professor of Professor Exxon's teaching team operating mode is also very similar。This guarantees the teaching of professional knowledge of large class,It also guarantees that the channels of counseling and teacher -student exchanges are unblocked。
Second: The classroom teaching of professor of the class is very attractive。Small classroom teaching above grade or above generally no longer use PPT to teach intuitive,It does not emphasize the fun in teaching,Instead, the lecture of the problems directly entered the teaching and the discussion stage of teachers and students。But as a new student entry and general class,The teaching courseware of the two professors is carefully produced,Take care of professionalism and fun。For example, there are 5-10 minutes of short films for each classroom teaching,content or authoritative figures in this field,or the display of the latest results; style or humor or spicy; or carefully choose from the Internet,or exclusive by the teacher。The text content of PPT courseware,Logic clear,Story short and powerful。Dr. Jones talked about the class to think about thinking,Clear logic,plus humorous fun,This is the easiest fatigue class from 11:30 noon to 1:00,Often everyone has a burst of laughter。
For example, in the first lesson, he told you that you can ask him in the office time,But the humor of "My marriage" makes everyone laugh。This kind of humor naturally makes the classroom atmosphere relaxed。
Third: Because of strong practicality。Student elective this course In addition to obtaining prescribed credits,More knowledge from middle school to life and learning,Can broaden the vision and expand ideas。Newborn of the freshman year,The understanding of universities and life is often not clear enough,The teaching of these two courses plays a good guidance effect on students。For example, the lesson of "Psychology" passed the genetic、Dream、Subconscious、Lecture on Nightmare and Learning,Let everyone better understand themselves and others。The first lesson of "Political Science",Professor Jones tells everyone: Four years of college,Not all things you have the ability to figure it out,But the task of the university is to constantly correct yourself based on the knowledge you learned,Remembering this is very important。
I originally came to this course with the attitude of learning teaching methods,But the end of the semester,But I found that I have a new understanding of the course of Politics,Benefits a lot。Students from the Life Sciences of Political Science and Psychology at the same time said: In the selected humanistic course,These two doors are very inspiring to their college life。
bet365 games best slotsbet365 live casino betting2. Problem consciousness is the core of teaching and learning
During the process of listening,Whether it is 800 people's large class teaching or 15 people's small class teaching,I found that every teacher is very heavy for students' problems. Cultivation。This is manifested in the teacher’s problem teaching method and problem inspection method。
The teaching method of the problem is that the teaching content of each lesson is designed around the problem,The homepage of the PPT played on the PPT is always five W and an H,For example: two central issues of politics: Who got what? Who is talking about?、Law and Society "about ancient Chinese wives and concubines: Who can become a wife? Who is easy to become a concubine?,In fact, the purpose of teaching knowledge by solving problems。
It also reflects asking students questions、Examination of problem -solving ability。The New Year's Day courses are mainly lectures in the large classroom,Design different topics and problems together by the teaching team,Arrange teaching assistants to lead students in groups。There are 12 questions for each discussion,Students participating to sign in,Answers after answering assistance。The same student cannot answer the same question repeatedly,After answering, leave the opportunity to others。After such a special report training,Senior courses,Students can and have to give a special lecture independently,For example, "Sex of the Late Empire in China、Law and Society "and" American Constitution ",Almost half of the time for students to make a special report。Special lectures Although some students come to do it,But a lot of jobs to do by the teacher,The theme of the series of lectures must be determined at the beginning of the semester、Theme Reporter,Provide students with relevant papers、The latest results。Questions and comments on each theme lecture。The reporter wants to send his outline to other students,To ask at least three questions to leave it to other students to answer; listeners must also ask the reporters at least three questions,The quality of the problem is high,excluding summary and other content。This is clear every time the problem,Discussion or argument is enthusiastic。
3. Strict learning requirements and multiple assessment standards
The "New Student Notice" on the webpage of the Department of Political Science quotes the "Macing" magazine report: University professors and students generally think,High school life did not make full preparations for freshmen entering college。The number of people who have never completed their studies in the freshman freshman account for about one -sixth,The number of people who fail to drop out of the homework account for 14%。Notice reminder,If anyone intends to drop out, please be as soon as possible。
Newborn instructions also provide 14 suggestions for how the freshmen can survive the freshman in the freshman year,One of them is: expect more to complete more learning tasks than before。To this end, it is recommended that college students spend 3.8 hours a day to do homework,and "Please plan to learn the content of the professor for one hour with 2 to 3 hours"。In addition to previewing reviewing classroom content,bet365 live casino bettingBet365 Casino loginAlso complete the relevant reading materials provided by the teacher and participate in or conduct a special report,Regardless of elective or professional courses,It takes almost as much time。
For classroom discipline,The syllabus of each door has been strictly explained。Before the beginning of the semester, the teacher will upload the teaching outline to the online platform for everyone to download and learn。In addition to teaching content, the teaching outline also explained in detail the classroom discipline and performance assessment。
For example, the explanation of class discipline of psychology teaching:
"NCB101 is a classroom with new technology,800 people take class in a classroom,It is easy to confuse。Simple rules can reduce the chaos to minimum limit,At the same time, it helps to provide all students with a reasonable and quiet teaching environment。
Class time is 1:30 to 3:30,Classroom closure of the classroom in class,Late those who are late go to the back door and enter。Do not leave early,Because of the early leave, other students will be decentralized。You must not get your heads,The speaker will be invited out of the classroom。Please turn off your phone for entering the classroom。”
Although the wireless network covers the entire campus and all classrooms,But the phone is completely disabled。Because of the protection of teachers' intellectual property rights,Students must not take pictures and copy the teaching courseware。I almost do not make a head in the classroom,If you have any questions, ask the hand in an orderly question。In the large and small classrooms that are closed due to the playback PPT,Full eyes are often a flashing laptop screen,Everyone is busy focusing on typing notes。I am used to getting used to handwriting notes at the beginning,and use the electronic dictionary on the mobile phone to check the new words at any time,Later, I found out that the use of mobile phones in class is incompatible with the surroundings,and violate classroom discipline,So strive to improve the speed of typing and use computer records and find new words。
Other curriculum outlines are similar to classroom discipline and performance assessment,The teaching outline of the "Global Strategy" of the Business School even clearly prohibits the use of mobile phones and computers to enter the classroom。In short,To achieve good results,It can be completed by not relying on the assault test。
Teach no method,Learning has no standard。Classroom teaching of understanding West Adults Course is to better improve yourself。The new semester to start on January 4th,I plan to go to a course from the business school,Because the West University Business School and Harvard Business School are the two major birthplaces of the North American case teaching method,It's a pity not to listen to it。My favorite English literature lesson must also choose a door。The English learning class on the weekend will start on January 9th of the new semester。For me,Teach students and learn others without ending。
