Abstract :
To deal with the present situation of high student-teacher ratio and wide discrepancy amongst college first-year students in the college information technology experiment course in China, we have constructed a student-teacher role-switch model (RSM) in our teaching. Enlightened by Carl Rogers´ non-directive teaching theory, the RSM aims at shifting the priority of learning from the teacher to students, doubled with group discussion, to guarantee teaching quality. The statistics gathered from the online questionnaire show that the RSM did cope with the present problems and improve teaching effectiveness remarkably.
