三、课程建设

Course Construction

中波双方教师依托中外联合课程规范化建设项目，围绕课程建设策划与规划、教学目标定位与教学内容优化、教学安排与教学方法系统完善、项目教学体量调整及质量提升、学生跨文化交流能力水平培养及教学文件完善优化等方面工作开展课程建设。

Relying on the Sino-foreign joint curriculum standardization construction project, the teachers from China and Poland have carried out course construction with curriculum planning, positioning of teaching objectives and optimization of teaching content, improvement of teaching arrangement and teaching method system, qualitative and quantitative improvement of project teaching, cultivation of students’ cross-cultural communication ability, and optimization of teaching documents.

 首先，开展课程建设策划与规划。明确校级、院级课程实施要求，确认各管理阶段教学文件政策文件，制定课程建设总体规划，明确课程建设的目标、原则和重点，确定课程规范化建设详细流程，收发沟通邮件计66次（图1）。

Firstly, the team carried out curriculum construction planning, clarified the curriculum implementation requirements at university and college level, the policies and teaching documents of different teaching and management sections. They also formulated the overall plan of curriculum construction, by determining the objectives, principles and priorities, and detailed process of curriculum standardization construction through a total of 66 times of email communication. (Fig.1).

其次，进行教学目标定位与教学内容优化。以燕山大学西里西亚智能科学与工程学院办学理念为基本依据，围绕学院人才培养方案要求，结合学生群体特征，进一步明确本课程教学目标定位。以外方教学文件为基础，收集检索国际最新的热处理和表面处理理论和技术，包括新的热处理工艺、材料表面的新材料和新处理方法等，融入教学内容体系，同时，将国际最新前沿热处理和表面处理理论和技术进展与国内实际应用需求相结合，提升增强课程的实用性（图2）。

Secondly, the teaching goal orientation and content optimization have been implemented. Based on the training concepts of Silesian College of Intelligent Science and Engineering at Yanshan University, the team has further clarified its teaching orientation according to the requirements of the training program and students’ characteristics. The course is based on foreign teaching documents, with the latest international theories and technologies of heat treatment and surface treatment (including new heat treatment processes, new materials and new treatment methods on the surface of materials, etc.). At the same time, the latest international frontier theories and technologies of heat treatment and surface treatment were combined with domestic practical application to enhance the practical training of this course. (Fig.2).

第三，开展教学安排与教学方法系统完善工作。在遵循教务处相关规章制度的条件下，完善理论及实践教学安排。在制定教学计划时，合理安排教学时间和教学进度，注重理论与实践教学结合，合理分配教学时间和资源。根据中方教学特点，系统完善课程及实践教学方法，教学过程采用多种教学方法和手段，如多媒体教学、网络教学、小组讨论等，综合多种教学方法，培养学生的自主学习能力和合作学习能力（图3）。

Thirdly, the team has improved the teaching arrangement and teaching method system and optimized both theoretical and practical teaching arrangement in accordance with relevant rules and regulations of the Department of Academic Affairs, Yanshan University. The teaching schedule and process have been reasonably arranged, with theoretical teaching combined with practice. The teaching time and resources were also allocated reasonably. The course and practice teaching methods were systematically improved according to Chinese teaching characteristics. A multiple of teaching methods, such as multimedia teaching, online teaching, group discussion, and others have been adopted in the teaching process to cultivate the independent and cooperative learning abilities of students. (Fig.3).

       第四，项目教学体量调整及质量提升。以课程内容为核心，合理调整项目教学体量。合理安排项目教学内容和时间，根据课程内容实际情况适当增加项目教学环节的比重。调整方案注重项目教学内容的实用性和可操作性。在项目教学过程注重前沿专业内容项目教学的质量和效果，采取灵活多样的项目教学方式提高教学质量，加强项目教学的管理和监督、优化项目教学评价体系（图4）。

Fourthly, the Project-based Teaching has made progress with high quality. Teachers properly adjusted project teaching proportion, arranged content and time schedule, and reasonably increased the proportion of project teaching on the basis of the actual situation. The adjustment scheme focused on the practicability and operatability of the project teaching content. In the process of project teaching, the team paid attention to the quality and effect of the frontier professional content, taking flexible and diverse project teaching methods to improve the quality of teaching, strengthening the management and supervision of project teaching, and optimizing the project teaching evaluation system. (Fig.4).

第五，学生跨文化交流能力水平培养。课程适当增加跨文化交流方面的教学内容，设计教学内容涉及不同文化背景下的语言表达方式、礼仪习俗等。开展跨文化交流活动，包括国际文化交流主题讨论、文化座谈等，全面提高学生的跨文化交流意识和能力。培养学生的跨文化交流能力过程注重提升学生的语言水平和文化素养，设置课程外语专题提升模块、语言实践环节，提高学生语言应用能力和文化素养水平。课程内容融入国际化元素，包括国际标准、行业动态等，拓宽学生的国际视野和知识面（图5）。

Fifthly, the team attached the great importance to the cultivation of cross-cultural communication of students. The course appropriately added the teaching content of cross-cultural communication, including language expression, etiquette and customs of different cultures. International cultural discussions, cultural seminars and other cross-cultural activities were carried out, aiming to promote cross-cultural communication awareness and ability of students in all respects. In this process, the team put efforts to improving students' language level and cultural literacy, offering English improvement and practice modules in the course. International standard, industry trends and other elements were also introduced in the class to broaden students’ global vision and knowledge. (Fig.5).
