Exploration and practice of teaching reform in the Life Science Mystery Exploration Experimental course
To better popularize knowledge of life sciences and to understand experimental techniques and methods for exploring the essence and mysteries of life,based on the characteristics of the course and the sources of selected students,the necessity of offering the Life Science Mystery Exploration Experimental course was analyzed,and the teaching content was designed,and teaching reform was implemented.In terms of necessity,offering this course is necessary for the cultivation professional talents,a reflection of the characteristics of the life science discipline,and a requirement for the development of experimental teaching demonstration centers.In terms of teaching content design,optimized the setting of experimental projects,focused on teaching basic theoretical knowledge and cultivating experimental skills,and arranged experimental teaching content in conjunction with social hot topics;adhered to the"four combinations"principle of combining fun and professionalism,a systematic experimental teaching content system had gradually been formed,and experimental safety was emphasized.In terms of implementing teaching reform,optimized teaching arrangements,seted up small class teaching,and allowed students to flexibly choose their class time;enriched teaching methods,utilized virtual simulation experimental teaching sharing platforms and their high-quality digital resources,and actively adopted online and offline integrated experimental teaching methods;added on-site visits and field internships to allow students to have close contact with animals,plants,and natural environments;improved the assessment and evaluation system and focused on process oriented assessment.The practical results showed that this teaching reform had effectively improved the life science literacy of students,enhanced their hands-on practical ability and innovation awareness,and helped the teaching team win provincial and ministerial level awards.It provides references for the improvement of students'comprehensive quality.
