Research on Teaching Methods of Autonomous Learning in Mechanical Courses

With the increasing requirement of the society for the ability of the talents, the cultivation mode of the autonomous learning ability is crucial in improving the student's independence and innovation. Mechanical courses are the most importance basic courses of engineering colleges. As the rapid development of information technology, traditional teaching mode has lost the attraction for young college students. Therefore, an innovative change is desired in mechanical teaching area in the colleges to adapt to the trend of social development. This paper mainly aims to make a systematic study of multi-teaching methods and autonomous learning methods in mechanical courses. The research includes techniques and methods of teaching, teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, the reform of assessment methods, and other aspects. It’s very important for satisfying the needs of individualized learning and facilitating efficient autonomous learning. Multi-teaching methods have been adopted in the experimental class. The results indicated that student’s interest in learning mechanical courses and teaching quality has been improved, and the students showed a high degree of satisfaction with the course.
