Geology Petrology Professional Curriculum and Teaching Reform Abstract: To strengthen Geology Field Practice teaching is an important aspect of teaching reform and development trends. Songshan Geopark create professional rock geology Field Practice Teaching Base Course with geological phenomena typical rock types are complete, rich tourism resources, profound cultural connotation convenient transportation, close to campus, work based on the unique good conditions conducive to explore the classroom, laboratory and field teaching three combinations of teaching a new model of teaching. Keywords:: Petrology; teaching bases; practice teaching; Teaching Geology, petrology is a very important specialty professional foundation courses. Geology in recent years, many new theories such as the UHP theory, all from the field or microscopic discovery. Therefore, the rock is a practical learning strong science. Henan Polytechnic University, Geological Engineering Course in the petrology, including “Rock School (a) - magmatic petrology, metamorphic petrology,” “Rock (II) - sedimentary petrology”, materials are written in the 20th century, 90’s, teaching content lagged behind the development of modern technology and the needs of reform and opening up; for various reasons, less investment in teaching staff, there is varying degrees of theory divorced from reality phenomenon. Strengthen the practice and theory of teaching and teaching contact has become the Higher Education Teaching course an important aspect of reform and development trends. Establish professional rock geology courses teaching base of field practice that is very promising in this respect. First, update equipment and improve conditions for the reconstruction of basic teaching laboratory rock Petrology Basic Labs including two polarizing microscope laboratory, laboratory .2005 hand specimen petrology years, funding for schools and colleges to increase investment, financial investment
