THREE KEY POINTS TO IMPROVE THE TEACHING QUALITY OF THE “GEOPHYSICAL FIELD THEORY” COURSE

“Geophysical field theory” is a very important professional basic course of geophysical major. In the teaching practice of nearly ten years, according to the characteristics of the course and the cognitive law of students' cognition, the author explores the teaching quality of the course from the three points: the application of mathematics knowledge, the teaching of physics knowledge and the connection with the follow-up courses. The author believes that the application of mathematical knowledge should be targeted based on professional needs, allowing students to experience the application of mathematical knowledge in their majors, while also emphasizing the embodiment of physical ideas in mathematical knowledge; the teaching of physics knowledge should introduce new concepts in an appropriate way, introduce the history of physics appropriately, and focus on enabling students to master physical thinking methods, learn to view problems from a physical perspective, analyze problems, and solve problems; and by unifying scientific symbols, infiltrating after-school exercises, and ensuring consistency in narration, aim to connect with subsequent professional courses.
