随着我国社会经济的快速发展,环境污染问题逐渐成为影响我国经济社会可持续发展的主要因素.高素质的专业人才队伍建设和培养则成为应对日益严峻的环境污染形势的基本制度保障和智力支持.由于我国在环境科学研究生教育方面相对起步较晚,基础较为薄弱,因此需要加快完善我国环境科学专业研究生教育体系及发展模式.本文从我国环境科学专业研究生教学模式的现状及发展趋势出发,通过对美国阿肯色大学植物土壤与环境学院环境科学专业研究生教育培养情况的介绍和分析,为我国环境科学专业研究生教学模式改革提供借鉴.本研究建议,我国环境科学专业研究生教学模式应从完善学科教育体系、培养学生创新能力、拓宽知识平台以及搭建知识与技能的桥梁等方面进行改革与创新,提高我国环境科学专业研究生的专业水平与学术能力.
