Abstract

Abstract:

Under the background of national "Double First-Class" construction, the optimization and reconstruction of the course system has become the core of discipline construction. Reconstructing the course system of geography based on the discipline construction experience of famous geography universities at home and abroad will help improve the level of geography undergraduate education in Chinese universities. Based on the course system of the top-ranked 62 universities in Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) 2020 World University Rankings and the fourth round of subject evaluation in geography, This article uses co-occurrence network analysis, association rule mining analysis to identify the characteristics of the course settings of famous geography universities at home and abroad and the relationship between these courses, and establish a course system framework of geography towards the construction of first-class discipline. Finally, the optimization path of the course system of geography in Chinese universities is discussed and suggestions are made. This research can provide a theoretical basis for the construction and optimization of the course system of geography in Chinese universities, and is conducive to improving the level of undergraduate education and the ability to cultivate talents.

Key words: geography, course system, data mining, association rules, co-occurrence network analysis

摘要：

在“双一流”建设背景下，课程体系优化与重构成为学科建设的核心。以国内外地理学名校学科建设经验为借鉴，重构地理学课程体系，有助于提升我国高校地理学本科教育水平。本文基于Quacquarelli Symonds（QS）2020年世界大学地理学学科排名和全国第四轮地理学学科评估中位于排名前列的62所高校地理学科数据，采用共现网络分析、关联规则挖掘等数据分析与挖掘方法识别国内外地理学名校课程设置的特征及课程之间的关联关系，并建立面向一流学科建设的地理学课程体系框架，最后对我国高校地理学课程体系优化路径进行探讨并提出建议。本研究可为我国高校地理学课程体系建设及优化提供理论基础，有利于提高地理学本科教育水平和人才培养能力。
