Research on Teaching Mode of Thermal Power Plant Course Based on TRIZ Theory

Abstract

Thermal power plant course is an important professional course closely related to the actual production of power plants. This course covers some complex and abstract theoretical knowledge such as thermal power generation, cogeneration, heat-power-cool cogeneration, etc. It is difficult to achieve the expected teaching effect only by the way of teaching in the limited class hours to make students grasp such complicated knowledge. TRIZ theory is introduced into the teaching process of this course to improve its teaching methods and content, so as to cultivate students’ problem-solving ability. At the same time, cultivate students' ability of active discovery learning and teamwork, and evaluate students' learning results in a reasonable way. After the implementation of this teaching mode, students evaluate tearchers’ teaching quality from seven aspects in five evaluation grades. The evaluation results show that the very satisfaction rate reaches 74.4%, the satisfaction rate reaches 99.3%, and the ranking of teaching quality evaluation rises from 31st to 3rd place. This teaching mode provides an important basis for the reform and innovation of education.
