Abstract: Physical Geology is a foundation course of geological education for undergraduate students and plays an important role in linking and leading for the other branch-disciplines of Earth Sciences. It contains the most basic knowledge of various branchdisciplines
and the liberal education of geosciences. According to the authors’ long-term teaching experiences, we recognized it is necessary and in urgent to integrate classroom teaching, experimental teaching and field geological teaching into a systematic teaching process, the reformation and construction for the curriculum system and teaching contents for the Physical Geology under the modern situation where both elite education and general education are equally important. We should change education thought
and Conception, and reform traditional education mode and teaching methods to satisfy with modern scientific development and national requirement. A systematical training for students on theoretical knowledge, experimental process and practical ability is very necessary in order to widen students’ knowledge of the Physical Geology, to encourage their interesting of specialty, to advance their creative thinking, and to train gradually their basic ability of modern geology. To do best the works mentioned  above, teaching equality for the education for all-around development will certainly be enhanced and teaching reformation will be greatly promoted. At the same time of teaching the scientific knowledge, it is suggested to carry out necessary ideological and political education with a clear goal, to guide students to recognize the relationship between knowledge and morality, and to make clear the value orientation of the combination of morality and knowledge, so as to improve the teaching quality of basic geology courses and the comprehensive quality of students, and train outstanding talents.
