Abstract：Course exercise is a very important approach for undergraduate training. Based on the relationship between teachers and undergraduates during teaching activities, the research -oriented teaching methods and contents of Soil Erosion Principle, a key professional course of water and soil conservation and desertification control specialty, are discussed systematically. The paper holds that the research -oriented teaching mode should be composed of three essentially important parts, which are research-oriented discussion based on question assuming and research simulation, soil erosion simulation and comprehensive experiments. The research -oriented teaching based on computer-assisted instruction and the comprehensive experiment teaching based on knowledge-ability-quality could improve significantly the study and practical skills，innovative ability of undergraduates. Such research -oriented teaching methods as question assuming and study simulation could improve significantly the ability of the knowledge studying and problems resolving for undergraduates. Implementation of research-oriented teaching for course of Soil Erosion Principle mode could provide a research participation opportunities for undergraduates in elementary grades, which helps undergraduates to form and improve initiative and overall quality of professional learning from the perspective of course.
