学科发展的根本在于人才培养,而人才培养的基石是课程体系。目前中国约有150多所高校开设了人文地理学专业,由于学科背景不同,形成了多种人文地理学教学课程体系,由此培养的学生知识结构也千差万别。在此背景下,本文基于中山大学实施人文地理学本科教学改革和教学计划调整的研究实践,在对比探讨国内外各代表院校人文地理学专业学科课程设置特点的基础上,结合本专业就业形势、历史传统、师资情况,提出了以"宽基础、强专业、重实践"为基本导向,以"突出精品、减量增效、资源共享、彰显个性、完善体系"为基本原则的课程改革计划,对人文地理学的教学改革、课程设置提出了基于实践的规范建议。希望此经验有助于国内各院校人文地理学教学改革的进一步深化,也为其他相关专业的教学改革和课程设置提供参考。

Human Geography contains different disciplines such as arts,science and engineering. It is also a kind of science emphasizing great geographical diversity. Contemporary 150 Chinese universities have set the program of human geography, in which not only general universities but also many professional colleges take a certain amount. Based on different histories, teachers background, local social demands, there are a number of different curriculum systems of human geography existed. Recent years, a new round of reform of undergraduate education and teaching program adjustments be started in Sun Yat-sen University(SYSU). Based on the practices and the experiences, this paper investigate the teaching curriculums of human geography in several universities, compare the differences in curriculums with home and abroad universities, such as University of Cambridge, Oxford, University of Chicago, University of Tokyo, National Taiwan University, University of Hong Kong, Beijing University, Nanjing University, Wuhan University, Beijing Normal University. Then, combine the historical tradition and the employment situation, put forward a reform program of the undergraduate curriculum system in Sun Yat-sen University, which aims to strengthen the learning and teaching groundwork so that to build up a strong curriculum system. In particular, learning practice is given profound attention. The basic rules of teaching reform are "highlight the advantages, resource sharing, reflect personalities, and re-adjustment the teaching system". This paper reviews previous research on reform of teaching and its practice; the experience will not only shed light on further reform of teaching at SYSU, but also contribute to fellow members devoting to the new round of reform in regard to Human Geography.
