Abstract

Inquiry-based small-class teaching mode is to reduce the number of students and designs discussions among groups in the teaching procedure. In the discussions, students need to survey literatures, discuss with the partners, argue and defend his/her views, accurately analyze and calculate, and present his/her group outcomes etc. The whole process can make students do efforts to find useful information, pay attention on teamwork, defend themselves views, communication, academic thinking, presentation etc. And all the students focus on the contents of class due to small number of students. It also can improve the learning efficiency and develop student’s competent abilities. The new teaching mode was practiced in industrial engineering major for one semester. As a result of the findings, the inquiry-based small-class teaching mode is an effective tool to improve the learning efficiency and competent abilities of students. In addition, this training meets the requirements of education of engineering.
