3. How to improve your learning?
“…and, as you go out into
the world, I predict that
you will, gradually and
imperceptibly, forget all
you ever learned at this
university”…
What have we learnt and what will we forgotten,
knowledge, ability or makings?
Major Categories in the Taxonomy of Educational Objectives
Level
Student goals
Knowledge
Recall facts, concepts, or principles. Know dates, events,
major ideas.
Comprehension
Translate or interpret information. Describe meanings
and relationships in own words.
Application
Apply a skill or concept to a new situation. Solve new
problems. Illustrate and use knowledge.
Analysis
Break information down into parts. Identify parts, their
inter relationships, and their organizational principles
Synthesis
Compose the parts into a new whole. Organize
information in a new way. Get broad ideas from specific
ideas
Evaluation
Judge the value and/or accuracy of purposes, ideas, and
methods based on a standard. Find support for arguments.

Discussion and group
work are very important
for you to improve your
learning.
4. Our teaching strategies
（1）Teaching philosophy
第一个层次：教知识 ---- 教师
（1）授人以鱼
第二个层次：教方法 ---- 名师
（2）授人以渔
第三个层次：教境界 ---- 大师
（3）授人境界
使学生先悟教师之道 再悟自己之道（做人、学问）
韩愈《师说》：师者，所为传道、授业、解惑也。
传道？《老子》开篇的第一句：“道可道，非常道”。
“道”的达成需要个人领悟，不是教出来的。
背书、找答案永远成不了“道”。
授业？不是教书，而是教如何“成业” 。
解惑？不是扼杀问题和质疑。而是引导学生质疑教材、
质疑权威，启发思考。
让学生带着自己的观点看书，立自己的一家之言，
而非简单的接受和盲从。
（1）Teaching philosophy
1）激发学生乐道悟道比传道更重要
2）激发学生学会学习比授业更重要
3）激发学生独立思考比解惑更重要
张德江, “现代教学观下的教师职责”，中国大学教学, 2010, 3: 4-6
The results of puzzling
（2）Methodology introduction
任何基础理论课程的教学内容均由普遍性原理和科学
方法组成。在准确讲解基本原理的同时，必须提炼出主要
方法加以讲解。
高盘良，科学方法教育与创新能力培养，中国大学教学，2010（3）：7-8
（3）What should we do outside class?
预习：预习问题、基本概念与基本原理
复习：读2-3本书。读外文教材。1-2小时。
作业：习题、课外阅读、讨论、准备报告
小组作业：小组问题、小组报告
课程论文：发现问题、查阅资料、进行试验、撰写论文。
培养学生利用图书资源进行综合学习的能力、提出
问题和解决问题的能力、团队合作的能力。
