摘要
在我国工程伦理教育亟待积极推进和在线教育迅速发展的背景下,介绍一些西方国家的在线工程教育的发展现状,分析美国的内布拉斯加大学、印第安纳大学、弗吉尼亚技术大学和澳大利亚的迪肯大学等在线工程伦理教育采用的模式,指出其基本形式是使用独立模块和讨论等手段,主要特征是强调学习主动性、自导性和互动性,并评价国外工程伦理教育的效果。国外的实践经验给我国的启示包括:应重视工程伦理教育、推动教育方法革新(包括实现由"以教师为中心"向"以学生为中心"的转型)、考虑将在职研究生教育和继续教育作为在线工程伦理教育的首选对象、重视讨论、由主办学校提供支持、课前培训师生等,希望以此借鉴,协助我国高校运用在线教育手段推进工程伦理教育。
Considering China’s need to strengthen/for strengthingengineering ethics education and the rapid development of online education, this paper introduces the current status of online engineering education in several foreign countriesanalyzes the modes of online engineering ethics education adopted by universities such as the University of Nebraska, Indiana University, Virginia Tech, and Deakin Universit andpoints out that their basic format involves the use of independent modules and discussion forums and their main characteristic is the empha-sis on active learning, self-directedness, and interaction, and evaluates the effectiveness of such education. These foreign experiences have implications for Chinese engineering ethics education: China should strengthen engi-neering ethics education, promote innovative teaching methods including the shift from teacher-centeredness to learner-centeredness, consider postgraduate and continuing education as the first target of online engineering edu-cation, use discussion as a major educational strategy, provide support at the university level, and train teachers and students before class starts. All these measure can be used as references to facilitate universities in China in using online education as a new means to promote engineering ethics education.
