Overall course design method based on working process - Illustrated by the course of mechanical components design

Abstract

Course teaching based on the working process is an effective teaching mode to make the training objectives meet the requirements of "Comprehensive professional capacity" proposed by the higher vocational education. This kind of teaching mode breaks the order of traditional subject system, fuses the learning process with the work, and links the theoretical study of students with professional ability and personality development. Illustrated by a course of Mechanical Components Design, the design methodology for the entire curriculum based on the working process is discussed from several aspects such as teaching objectives setting based on investigation and analysis to post, design of teaching content with work task oriented, organization of teaching with integrity of the structure for the work process, reform of learning inspection with work products as the content etc., and this methodology has been proved to be effective by practice. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
