Studies On The General Education Curriculum For Geosciences Major In Chinese Universities

The reform of general education is the tendency of higher education developing. In 2007 Harvard University has had the reform of general education curriculum to reply the new changes of society, politics, economics and culture. General education curriculum of Taiwan Province are partly completed. China's universities are conducting some general education reform and have achieved obvious progress. But they still have many problems on general education when compare with China's Taiwan and overseas. Studies on the latest progress of general education on foreign country and Taiwan, a number of universities in China ,we can get some results, which will pave the way on the field of geosciences. In short, the general education of geosciences. major is still with a little number. The development of general education should be oriented to the attention of the general education goals, such as scientific and systematic.There are very few comprehensive geosciences colleges in foreign country. The majors of geosciences are mainly college of research universities. We select some foreign colleges and universities to conduct the professional analysis.on geosciences major.We have had some result that is general education goals for further upgrading,,loose structure of curriculum classes, core courses are too biased application-oriented and professional, and so on.And choosing China University of Geosciences as a detailed case to study. On the basis of the study of geological core set of courses, from the course objectives, course system, starting with the principle of building the course, to draw the relevant conclusions of the general education. In light of reality, we try to build a professional school to learn the general education curriculum that China University of Geosciences (Beijing) should adopt the "distribution of compulsory" curriculum model which is compulsory in the distribution set up under the framework of the curriculum and that the general education And professional education in specific areas of integration is the key to the implementation of general education. The paper has also made a number of general education reform proposal that the general education development needs the support of the Government, professional education and to correctly handle the relationship between general education, it is necessary to attach importance to the building of the contingent of teachers, strengthen institutional building.Setting up Colleges' curriculum is to reply the changes of the community, knowledge, cultural development . On reflecting of foreign country ,we have some research about the general education curriculum on the major of geology, to find the trend of education reform, to explore the geosciences general education. Combined with China University of Geosciences (Beijing) cases Research, we attempt to build a mainland China University of Science and core curriculum, which improve with the improvement of China's professional colleges students and the quality of colleges education.
