ABSTRACT

Field geological practice serves as a critical link connecting theoretical teaching and engineering practice, playing an irreplaceable role in enhancing students' abilities in geological phenomenon identification, data collection and analysis, and comprehensive research. Taking the "Petroleum and Natural Gas Geology Curriculum Design" course at Shandong University of Petroleum and Chemical Technology as an example, this paper analyzes current issues in curriculum design, including disconnection between teaching content and field practice, weak hands-on skills of students, and an evaluation system that prioritizes results over process. Combined with the requirements of field practice for students' geological thinking, on-site operation, and teamwork abilities, this study proposes a reform strategy of "practice-led, integration of learning and application." This strategy includes reconstructing a "theory-practice-application" curriculum content system, innovating field scenario-based teaching models, strengthening practice data-driven design links, and improving a diversified evaluation mechanism. The aim is to cultivate high-quality applied talents meeting the needs of the oil and gas exploration industry.
