Exploration of Problem-based Learning at Inter-course Level

Published: 08 February 2022 Publication History

Abstract

Under the background of globalization and technology competition in the new era, aiming at the problem of traditional teaching interaction, this paper puts forward the idea of problem-based learning (PBL) teaching for environmental science majors. Compared with the traditional teaching method, the PBL model has advantages in improving students' self-learning ability, cooperation and communication ability, professional ability, being familiar with academic writing norms, and training critical thinking ability. Compared with the single-course PBL, the inter-course PBL model emphasizes the importance of systematic integration of professional knowledge when solving practical problems, and promotes teachers' extensive communication and cooperation.
