Research and practice of the PBL model for data structure curriculum

Abstract

Data Structure is the specialized core course for students majoring in Computer Science and Technology, which has considerable difficulty not only in learning but also in teaching. Project-based Learning(PBL) model is an important means for learning, it had been introduced to the curriculum in the past few years. We conducted Project-based Learning research and practice making full use of network platform, our course group has conducted in-depth research on the Project-based Learning theory and put it into teaching practice in Data Structure. The research shows, it acquires an obviously good effect in teaching practice. This paper describes the Project-based Learning theory, and presents the authors' actual achievement in research and practice of the PBL teaching model for Data Structure.
