结构力学是土木工程专业的重要基础课程，它具有逻辑性强、方法技巧性要求高等特点。如何激发学生学习结构力学课程的兴趣，让学生从被动学习变为主动学习，是结构力学教学过程亟待解决的问题。文章根据结构力学课程的特点，从教学理念、教学手段、教学方法3个方面展开论述，探讨了提高结构力学课程教学效果和教学质量的方法与措施。教师应对结构力学教学理念有最基本的定位，通过多样化的教学手段提高学生学习的兴趣，合理使用教学方法，因材施教，提高教学质量。

Structural mechanics is an important fundamental course in civil engineering. Strong logicality, high skill nature, and high flexibility are characteristics of the course. In the teaching process, the problem to be solved is how to arouse students’ interest in learning structural mechanics and how to lead students to change passive learning into active learning. Based on characteristics of the course, we studied on methods and measures of improving teaching quality from aspects of teaching concepts, teaching means, and teaching methods. The article points out that 1) teachers should have a basic position in structural mechanics teaching, 2) teachers should use various teaching means to simulate students’ interest, and 3) rational teaching methods should be used to improve teaching quality.
