摘 要 技术实践能力培养是地理信息系统相关专业教学的重要内容。虽然地理信息系统相关实践课程众多,但往往针对具体专门领域的训练,综合性实践课程仍然缺乏。针对设计的中国地质大学(武汉)地理信息科学专业课程——地理信息系统综合应用实习,本文介绍了课程目标、内容设置和实施过程方面的创新设计,并对连续4年的实习情况进行了分析。实践证明,学生通过该课程学会了将专业知识进行综合整理,并应用到具体项目之中,既提高了实践技能,又培养了分析解决问题和团队合作的能力。

Abstract Cultivating technical practice ability plays an important role in geographic information system (GIS) education. Although there are many GIS-related practical courses, most of them are designed for specific training purposes and meanwhile comprehensive practical courses are still lacking. This paper introduces the design of GIS comprehensive practical course of geographic information science specialty in China University of Geosciences (Wuhan). Purposes, contents and procedures of this course are all innovatively designed and implement results during the last 4 years are analyzed. It is proved that completion of the course helps students integrate and apply professional knowledge into a specific project, and hence promote their practical skills as well as their abilities of analyzing & handing problems, and working together as a team.

近年來,随着数字地球、智慧城市以及各行业信息化建设的推广和升级,地理信息系统(Geographic Information System,GIS)技术及其应用得到了快速发展,[1]GIS专业人才的需求急剧增长。各个行业日益广泛的 GIS应用工程,对高校 GIS专业培养的学生提出了更高的要求,要求他们在扎实理论基础之外,更要具备过硬的实践能力与系统实现能力。[2]
中国地质大学(武汉)的GIS专业非常重视实践教学,开设了一系列实践课程,[3]仅独立的课程设计就涵盖计算机高级语言、面向对象程序设计、数据结构与算法、数据库原理与应用、空间数据库等方面,还有自然地理与地质学野外实习、测量学实习、地图学实习等实习课程。学生通过这些课程的学习,自身实践能力有一定的提高。但是,这些实践课程只针对专门课程或具体知识点,相互之间缺少配合与衔接,不利于学生掌握系统性完整性的知识和技能,难以满足社会对 GIS 应用人才的需求。……
