土力学实验教学改革初探

目前土力学中实验教学的内容和教学方法陈旧，演示型单一型实验项目偏多，综合型设计型实验偏少，理论教学与实验脱节以及实验设备大量闲置。从倡导创新及个性化教育，倡导理论教学与工程能力的培养相结合，激发学生的学习兴趣出发，提出了综合性开放式土力学实验教学新模式。新模式在培养学生创新能力，提高教师综合素质，规范实验教学及实验中心管理上取得了好的效果。

Preliminary Reform on the Soil Mechanics Experiment Teaching

The present situation of the Soil Mechanics experiment teaching is that both the content and the method are out-dated, most of the experiments are simply demonstrative rather than comprehensive design-based ones. Furthermore, the theoretical teaching tends to be disconnected with carrying out experiments so that plenty of experimental equipments lie idle. Aimed at bringing forth a new individual teaching method, combining the theoretical teaching with fostering students＇ engineering ability, and stimulating students＇ study interest, this paper proposes a comprehensive and open model of Soil Mechanics experiment teaching. It proves that this new model is effective not only in cultivating students＇ creative ability, enhancing teachers＇ overall quality but also in standardizing experiment teaching and the management of experiment centers.
