Practice and exploration of peer teaching method reform in mechanical-design course in MOOC Environment
In this article,with the focus on the Jiangxi Provincial Excellent Online Open Course of Mechanical Design,ef-forts are made to carry out the practice and exploration of peer teaching method reform based on teamwork.It aims to help students better face complex mechanical-engineering problems with the abilities of solidarity and collaboration,independent learn-ing and innovative practice on one hand and cultivate high-quality and innovative mechanical engineering professionals by means of this course on the other hand.At the same time,it aims to solve many headaches.For example,the course hours are cut down while the points are difficult to fully cover;the time periods of course design and final examination are overlapped,which makes it difficult to guarantee the quality of course design.The results show that the teaching reform is effective,which is mainly reflec-ted in the course online evaluation by the students,questionnaire survey,analysis on the degree of achievement of the course ob-jectives,and the students'scientific and creative activities.
