Reform of Paleontology Experiment Teaching for Geology Majors

Chu Jianpeng(School of Resources and Environmental Engineering, Shandong University of Technology)

Abstract

Due to the development of science and technology and the transformation of society’s demand for talents of geology majors, many changes have taken place in the arrangement of teaching hours and teaching content of paleontology experiment teaching. The paleontology experiment teaching of geology majors has problems such as unreasonable experiment design, no independent experiment arrangement, single teaching method, absence of experiment contents, etc. the article believes that the reform should be made in the following aspects: setting up independent experiment teaching arrangement, improvement of experiment teaching design, continuing to improve the laboratory hardware and software construction, reform of teaching methods.
