Study on the Problem-based Teaching in Materials Science——Taking"Natural Rubber:the Soft Gold in Nature"as an Example
Materials Science is an elective course offered by the college of chemistry and chemical engineering.Graduate students,learning Materials Science course,are from different majors.Some students have little chemistry knowledge and material knowledge.This study introduces the problem-based teaching in Materials Science course by taking"natural rubber:the soft gold in nature"as an example.The teaching starts from the materials in our daily life.Then,some cases of researches and uses are utilized to introduce professional knowledge about natural rubber in a simple way.This teaching design is helpful for both the professional material knowledge learning based on the personal demands of graduate students and the insensible ideological and political education.In conclusion,this teaching design should be a reference to the interdisciplinary elective courses.
