Innovative Research on Teaching Model of Environmental Law Courses in China

At present, the teaching model of environmental law courses in China is mainly lecture-based learning (LBL) teaching model whose disadvantages are closeness, unidirection and weak teaching practice. This model does not fit in with the characteristics of environmental law courses and the objective changes of ecological civilized society for the demand of talents of environmental law. Therefore, we should actively reform the current single teaching model, learn from foreign advanced teaching concepts and experience. By comparing to international education models, PBL as a teaching model of interdiscipline subject, is more appropriate to the characteristics of environmental law courses. Meanwhile environmental law teaching should be extended to the society though various ways, such as participation of environmental protection activities, social survey, and environmental public interest action etc. Only changing the present situation of environmental law education , It is possible for China to cultivate high-quality talents in the field of environmental law.
