Research on Teaching Practice of Academic Literature Reading for Higher Vocational Students

Abstract

Reading academic literature and writing literature review are common assignments in university education.Although there are many sources describing the process of literature reading and literature review, teachers and students still face many difficulties in accomplishing these tasks.As an informal course, this course is the final report of eight years of the authors' teaching literature reading in combination with course/graduation practical activities.At present, our school has three-year and four-year students, and the teaching requirements of them are different. This paper suggests that the academic literature reading guide should be integrated into the teaching framework of literature review or become a separate course, so as to meet the cultivation needs of them.Moreover, this paper describes the teaching process of the literature reading for all freshmen majoring in logistics, and takes the causes of the bullwhip effect as a case study to demonstrate some details of critical reading. The results show that students present enough confidence, interest and sense of achievement after class to alleviate their anxiety and fear of literature reading.
