The New Requirements for University Teaching Resulting from Discipline Crossing and Integration:Taking Structural Geology Teaching as an Example
To broaden students'knowledge horizon,to increase students'interest in curriculum knowledge and to stimulate students'creative thinking are one of the most important university teaching objectives.Under the background of constantly emerging of the new disciplines and new knowledge points at present,it is necessary to apply discipline crossing and integration into university teaching.This paper takes structural geology as an example,and by the means of instance analysis,the paper analyses the relationship between structural geology and the emerging disciplines in recent years such as tourism geology,origin of life,carbon cycling and evolution of atmospheric composition,earth system science,and planetary geology.It is suggested to strengthen the crossing and integration with other disciplines to promote teaching efficiency by way of introducing examples of the other disciplines.The teachers could realize the crossing and integration with other disciplines by means of ways.The crossing and integration of the structural geology teaching with other disciplines not only broadens students'scientific view,but also helps to improve students'learning interest for structural geology and stimulate students'creative thinking,thereby promoting teaching efficiency of structural geology and better serving the instructional objectives of the innovative and compound talents.
