一句话：报告四学期软件测试课程中融合TBL与OSS贡献的教学实践，验证其能促进学生从理论走向实践。
该论文针对软件测试课程中传统讲授难以让学生获得迭代式开发实践的问题，提出将团队学习（TBL）与向开源软件（OSS）项目做实际贡献相结合的教学方法。作者在本科软件工程专业的软件测试课程中连续四个学期实施该方案，覆盖线上与线下课堂、300余名学生，并通过问卷调查分析学生感知，与既有软件工程教学研究进行比较。结果表明，TBL与OSS贡献的组合得到学生积极反馈，与文献结论一致；同时揭示学生首次参与OSS项目的挑战，提示需要针对性支持。总体而言，该教学结构能有效促进软件测试领域从理论到真实实践的过渡。
Curricula recommendation for undergraduate Software Engineering courses underscore the importance of transcending from traditional lecture format to actively involving students in time-limited, iterative development practices. This paper presents a teaching approach for a software testing course that integrates theory and practical experience through the utilization of both TBL and active contributions to OSS projects. The paper reports on our experience implementing the pedagogical approach over four consecutive semesters of a Software Testing course within an undergraduate Software Engineering program. The experience encompassed both online and in-person classes, involving a substantial cohort of over 300 students spanning four semesters. Students' perceptions regarding the course are analyzed and compared with previous, related studies. Our results are positively aligned with the existing literature of software engineering teaching, confirming the effectiveness of combining TBL with OSS contributions. Additionally, our survey has shed light on the challenges that students encounter during their first contribution to OSS projects, highlighting the need for targeted solutions. Overall, the experience demonstrates that the proposed pedagogical structure can effectively facilitate the transition from theoretical knowledge to real-world practice in the domain of Software Testing.
