Application of Contemporary Education Strategies to the Teaching of Operations Research
نویسنده
چکیده
Based on higher education goals and the particular characteristics of operations research, we consider in this paper how to enhance operations research teaching by utilising contemporary teaching methodologies. Three possible approaches, concept mapping, group work and ‘inverse’ PBL (Problem Based Learning) are proposed, and corresponding new assessment schemes for ensuring these new methods’ maximal efficiency are suggested. Also discussed are possible problems about their combination with traditional teaching methods. We believe that, as long as these reforms are implemented properly, the best possible teaching/learning results can then be achieved.
