Abstract

Changing the "knowledge classroom" into a "competence classroom" and getting rid of the traditional "duck-filling" teaching is a top priority for the development of higher education in China. Classroom teaching reform not only needs to respect the traditional teaching methods on the basis of exploring the development of a new road, but also actively strive for public recognition, the formation of reform synergy. By correcting the possible shortcomings of the reform path, we can significantly stimulate students' usual learning initiatives, improve their daily learning efficiency, ensure that classroom teaching is student-centred and focused on students' own development, and effectively improve the scientific and rational nature of the classroom. It is imperative that classroom teaching reform should actively face the real-life problems faced by classroom teaching reform and find strategies and ways to reform classroom teaching. With reference to the development trends of education and teaching at home and abroad in the past two decades and relevant literature, this paper will analyse the scientificity, rationality and necessity of classroom teaching reform from three aspects: analysis of the current situation of university classroom teaching, the practical problems faced in implementing classroom teaching reform, and the strategies and ways to implement classroom teaching reform.
