在新工科和世界双一流大学建设的背景下,高校研究生课程教学改革是其中的重点和难点。鉴于国际化英文课程建设是加快高校国际化进程的必然需求,也成为国内许多高校课程教学改革的重点。但是,如何在国际化英文课程建设中探索适合我国研究生人才培养目标的教学模式、教学方法、师资队伍等,培养具有国际视野和竞争力、具有创新活力和较强研究能力的高层次创新人才,却是亟待解决的问题。 本文以重庆大学研究生国家全英文精品课程《Environmental Quality and Wellbeing》为例,阐述了课程“教育性”与“研究性”一体化建设中,在课程内容、教学方法、考评方式、师资队伍等方面的特色和经验。课程注重教育教学的整体设计,构建了从基础到拔高、到拓展的多层次课程内容体系,并注重教学内容与科研项目、实践创新紧密结合,在教材选用上推荐专业最新期刊论文或专题报告,拓展国际化教学的广度和深度。课程以系统思维和启发式教学模式引导“教”与“学”的互动互位,设置交流互动、课堂研讨、案例研究、专题汇报、论文综述等多个环节,实现教学方法的变革,并将跨学科领域的热点、难点和研究新动向等国际性话题作为课程研讨主题,重点培养和锻炼研究生的思维能力、科研能力和创新能力。在课程评估上引入研讨、汇报、写作等多元化考核方式,培养学生既掌握扎实专业知识,又具备国际学术交流创新能力。同时,除了单纯英文教学,课程更注重整合优质国际资源,建设国际化、多学科联合师资团队,通过引进国际知名院校学术造诣高、教学经验丰富、科研成果显著的资深教授和专家进行短期讲学、授课,以及与国内教师联合开设研究生课程等,通过跨学科教学促进建筑环境领域多学科交叉融合,拓宽研究生知识的广度,解决传统课程教学视野狭窄、知识结构单一等问题。 本课程建设克服了传统研究生教育教学改革和国际化进程中课程体系建设内容单一、不利于培养复合型工程能力、研究生跨文化理解与交际能力、适应性和发展能力欠缺、优质科技教育资源不足、本土教师国际化教学能力欠缺等问题,为国内高校建筑环境专业全英文课程建设提供了优秀示范,同时为推进国家研究生教育的国际化进程、培养具有国际视野和创新活力的高层次人才、推动学科发展等提供可借鉴的经验与思考。

[Abstract]
With the construction of new engineering and the“double first-class”universities in China, the teaching reform for graduate courses is an important aspect to improve the quality of graduate students. As an inevitable demand for universities to speed up the way of internationalization, how to explore a suitable way for international courses construction, regarding the teaching mode, teaching methods and teaching team, etc., to meet the top talent training objective for China’s graduates is still an urgent problem. Taking a typical international course “Environmental Quality and Wellbeing” as an example, this study addressed the integrated construction of “education” and “research” of the course, and elaborated in details the characteristics and experience on course content, teaching method, evaluation method and teaching team. The course pays attention to the overall design and constructs a multi-level curriculum content system from foundation to promotion and to expansion; meantime it links the teaching content with research projects and practical innovation and introduces the latest professional journal papers or special reports as teaching materials to expand the teaching breadth and depth. The course guides the interaction between “teaching” and “learning” with systematic thinking and problem based learning, through setting up multiple modes such as communication and interaction, discussion, case study, special report, paper review and so on, which cultivates the postgraduates’ abilities of critical thinking, scientific research and innovation. The course focuses on the construction of high-quality teaching team and introduces a number of teachers and experts with outstanding academic achievements from multidiscipline to build an international joint teaching team. Through the interdisciplinary teaching, the course promotes the interdisciplinary integration in the field of built environment, broadening the knowledge breadth of graduate and overcoming the narrow vision of traditional curriculum teaching and single knowledge structure. The course exhibits the advantage of the overall design of international curriculum construction and the integration of high-quality international resources. The work provides an excellent demonstration for international curriculum construction for universities in the field of built environment. Further it is expected to share experience and guide thinking for promoting the internationalization process of national graduate education, cultivating high-level talents with international vision and innovative vitality, and promoting discipline development during “double first-class” construction in China.
