理工科课程教学中科学思维培养的案例化实践——以催化化学基础为例

doi:10.12461/PKU.DXHX202507105

Abstract

Abstract: In the context of “New Engineering”, Fundamentals of Catalytic Chemistry serves as a core course for chemistry and chemical engineering majors, characterized by interdisciplinary integration, cutting-edge content, and the combination of theory with application. This course provides an effective platform for fostering scientific thinking. Through representative teaching cases, this study explores systematic approaches to training students' scientific thinking, thereby enhancing their analytical, inductive, and innovative capabilities. The approach facilitates students' transition from passive knowledge recipients to active scientific explorers. This work offers valuable insights for integrating scientific thinking cultivation into advanced professional courses.

Key words: Scientific thinking, Fundamentals of catalytic chemistry, New engineering, Interdisciplinarity, Innovation
