Abstract:

In this paper, 1500 engineering college students in Jiangsu Province, China, were studied by observation, questionnaire, and categorization methods to investigate the "Inter-classroom behavior" of engineering college students. Nine types of behaviors were found: playing mobile games, watching short videos, shopping on Jindo, reading BILIBILI website, studying math or English, chatting, opening "Learning Power" app to study, drowsing and sleeping, going to the bathroom or going for a walk. The author believes that the nine types of " Inter-classroom behaviors" of engineering students reflect their needs. Integrating these student needs into the reform of the Civics course will stimulate the learning enthusiasm of engineering college students and thus enhance their Civics awareness, Civics ability and Civics self-awareness. Therefore, this paper builds a curriculum based on "physical and mental health-video production-methodology education-examination subjects-study and study" based on the "Inter-classroom behavior" of engineering students. Therefore, this paper builds a reform system of Civic Science curriculum for engineering students based on "physical and mental health, video production, methodological education, study subjects, study and research, and sports and labor education". The sample size of this paper is still relatively small and has certain research limitations. In the future, we will expand the research base, fully explore different spatial and temporal characteristics, more comprehensively and precisely extract the needs of engineering college students, so as to study the curriculum reform based on their needs.
