Abstract:In view of the characteristics of ecological architecture courses for postgraduate students, a new teaching mode base on holistic learning was proposed. In the mode, teaching process has been divided into three parts: primary learning, associate learning and concomitant learning. In addition to the traditional teaching method lectures in class, symposium on special subjects, subject reading after classes and practical training also used to organize the associate learning. Information platform was built to help students learning indirectly. The teaching mode has been changed from teaching only in classroom to learn from different channels and thinking freely. Under the guidance of this mode, a series of reforms and attempts about teaching target, teaching contents and teaching methods have been undertaken.
