ABSTRACT

Under the background of new engineering, the course "mechanical measurement and control comprehensive experiment" is a multidisciplinary comprehensive experiment course, and the traditional teaching mode can hardly achieve the teaching goal. Therefore, the application practice of PBL (Problem-based learning) teaching method in the teaching course "mechanical measurement and control Comprehensive experiment" is proposed. Through vertical design: set questions before class, exploration learning in class and feedback summary after class, horizontal design: teacher activities, student activities, assessment and evaluation, combined with the online and offline links provided by the school, such as one-network learning platform, tutoring and question answering, self-study and guidance, 288 mechanical major students in 2021 were studied on teaching application. The practical results show that: The introduction of PBL teaching method into the course of "Mechanical Measurement and Control Comprehensive Experiment" has significantly improved the effect, which can fully mobilize the enthusiasm of students in learning, effectively improve the ability of students to learn independently and solve problems, and also improve the interaction distance between teachers and students. This teaching mode has certain reference significance for other courses to introduce PBL teaching method to cultivate students' inquiry spirit, innovative thinking and cooperation ability.
