Abstract

The professional elective courses for undergraduates are designed to broaden college students’ knowledge and cultivate their innovative thinking. However, there are still some problems in current curriculum system, such as unreasonable teaching content, single teaching method and insufficient attention of students. Focusing on these problems, taking the elective course ‘Aero-Plasma Technology’ as an example, the practice and thinking based on daily teaching have been summed up, which is believed helpful on widening learning topics, restructuring teaching mode, refreshing teaching approaches, enriching the course resources and perfecting the course assessment methods. In the selection of learning topics, we pay attention to the systematicness and frontier of the content. By introducing the latest scientific research achievements of Key Laboratory on Plasma Technology into the classroom, the learning topics have been expanded. Carefully designing various forms of teaching approaches, comprehensively using heuristic, question chain, reply and other teaching methods, and enriching curriculum information resources, are all helpful to enhance undergraduates' interest in learning. The training practice through five years shows that this course has broadened students’ knowledge, improved their comprehensive ability and achieved remarkable results.
