Abstract: Informatization is an inevitable trend of higher education development. The Practice teaching is an important link of talents training of geosciences related majors. In this paper, we have discussed the purpose of constructing field Practice teaching informatization platform (FPTIP) in geosciences related majors, investigated the major contents of the FPTIP, and established the frame of the FPTIP, which is composed of four application systems, that is, the field geological mapping system, the fundamental geographic information system, the practice teaching achievements visualization management system, and the geological and geographic information 3D visualization system. Then, we have also conducted function design of the application systems. Finally, taking the construction of the FPTIP of Yangtze University as an example, we have preliminarily developed an informatization practice teaching platform, which integrates multiple functions, including the field geological mapping, the acquisition and processing of geographic information, and 3D visualization display and management of practice teaching achievements, and provides an informatization platform for the cultivating creative professionals of geosciences related major.

Abstract: Following learner autonomy （LA）, teacher autonomy （TA） has recently acquired a prominence in discourse on foreign language education. This study, taking TA as one influential variable on LA, tries to explore the relationship between them by conducting the investigation of some Chinese college English teachers of non-English majors with quantitative and qualitative approaches. The results show that there exist some correlations between TA and LA. In the end, the author gives some suggestions on how to promote learners autonomy in their English learning by cultivating and promoting teachers’ own autonomy in English teaching under the network environment.

Abstract: Programming foundation is a basic required course of computer-related subjects, and thus how to improve the teaching quality of this course is a very important problem for computer educators. To improve the teaching quality of programming foundation course in private higher learning college in China, some reform measures are proposed, including the following 5 aspects: teaching content, teaching method, teaching practice, examining form and network teaching. The well teaching practice effect shows that these reform measures can improve the teaching quality of programming foundation course, and also can be used for reference to other computer-related subjects.

Abstract: Image thinning is one of important steps of fingerprint preprocessing. Most of fingerprint recognition algorithms checked the characteristic points on thinning image. In this paper, we discover some shortages in OPTA and mathematical morphology thinning algorithm and find out the reasons for some shortages such as many glitches and snags, defective thinning, and so on. A new improved algorithm is proposed in the paper, which is an ideal algorithm because it is faster, produces less glitch, and thins completely.

Abstract: Current vocational education system is still mainly theoretical teaching for disciplinary system with separation between theory and practice. Aiming at the problem existed in the training process of capabilities for higher vocational education, the practical teaching approach is proposed with the complex project as a carrier. Combined with the characteristics of mechanical engineering major, the three-dimensional practical teaching system for capabilities with horizontal expansion and vertical improvement is established.

Abstract: "No paper-drawing" is the important process of informatization of manufacturing industry, which has greatly impacted the teaching of traditional mechanical drawing. In order to adapt to the demand of development of current manufacturing industry for drawing recognition ability of the talents, the structure of mechanical drawing course must correspond to this demand and perform fundamental reform; through long-term teaching practice, put drafting teaching into the whole production chain of product design and manufacturing so as to form the course form mainly based on three-dimensional expression and supported with two-dimensional expression, thus enabling the structure of mechanical drawing course to fit the development of modern manufacturing industry. The students cultivated under this mode can meet the requirements of manufacturing industry for drawing recognition ability.

Abstract: Through the analysis of relevant literature and typical websites, this document summed up the problems in the application of China’s primary and middle school subject learning websites such as single evaluation method, scarce learning resources, weak learning supports etc, and puted forward the corresponding improving strategies for each problem so as to make it more perfect and applicable.

Abstract: This document studied the papers in 2001-2010 for finding the hot spots and weak spots. By using content analysis method, this document found the characteristics of the research by analysising research content, research methods and the author’s affiliation, such as the study of concrete discipline design in classroom is the hot sport. The document also found the weak spots of the study, all these will provide for the follow-up study of theories.

Abstract: In order to train more qualified consecutive interpreters, a suitable teaching approach is needed. Based on the characteristics of Communicative Approach and interpreting class, this thesis focuses on why and how Communicative Approach can be applied to consecutive interpreting class, at the levels of classroom activities and techniques. Communicative Approach is a suitable and effective approach in interpreting class.

Abstract: ‘Simulation of Civil Engineering’ is a ‘3+1’ special courses for the department of civil engineering, The students have difficulty in this study because of many related courses and lacking of time. The CDIO-based engineering education model uses the innovation practice base of construction as a platform, through the study of specific actual project and the organization of students’ teams in-depth study in their spare time. On the one hand, this project can string related courses together and sum up knowledge, on the other hand, this project can integrate teacher research projects, student research scheme, the course of simulation of civil engineering and graduation papers (design), to achieve the effect of multiple purposes.
