以轨道交通桥梁课程为平台，结合3年的教学经历阐述了立足科研讲述理论发展历史、质疑规范当前条文、总结工程经验教训和介绍创新应用实例的4种启发式教学模式。该教学模式可弥补研究型大学在直接教学上投入不足的问题，但对教师的研究水平及课堂掌控能力提出了更高要求，需在实践中逐步提高教学效果。

The rail transit bridge curriculum was taken as the platform during three-year teaching experience to explore four heuristic teaching modes: narrating development histories of theories, questioning current terms of specifications, summing up of lessons from engineering practices and introducing innovation applications. These proposed teaching modes can make up for the problem of insufficiency devotion on teaching in research universities. However, these teaching modes require the teachers should have much higher research level and more powerful ability to control the classroom. Thus they need to be improved in long-term teaching practice for achieving better effect.
