The Teaching Design of GIS Planning Application Course for non-GIS Majors YANG

Abstract

The course of GIS planning and application is a strong comprehensive course, that requires students not only to master a systematic theoretical knowledge system of geographic information systems, but also to have the ability to apply GIS software from cognition to functional applications, and then to comprehensive and innovative applications. The teaching of the GIS courses for non-GIS majors has the characteristics of theoretical knowledge integration, outstanding practical application, fast content updating, etc. , emphasizing novelty, practicality, skill, comprehensiveness, and real-world combat, and there is a certain contradiction between limited class hours and increased teaching content. Therefore, in order to achieve the goal of innovative and applied talents training, combined with didactical practice, the paper takes the teaching of GIS planning application course in urban and rural planning management as an example, and considers that it is necessary to start from the characteristics of the course itself, based on the concept of “one degree for both genders” evaluation and design, and apply targeted teaching methods and teaching tools to carry out the teaching, focusing on the higher order, innovation and challenge of the course teaching, analyzes the status and role of GIS planning application course for non-GIS majors, builds a teaching content system, explores teaching methods and experimental teaching, implements from point to surface and advances step by step in order to improve the teaching effect of GIS planning application course, mobilizes fully students􀆳 enthusiasm and potential for learning, improves continuously students􀆳 practical abilities and the quality of cultivating applied talents, and achieves simultaneously better professional sustainable development.
