Application of Comparative Pedagogy in Instrumental Analysis Experiment Teaching
Instrumental analysis experiment constitutes an essential component for medical prevention and medical testing specialties. To improve the innovative and practical abilities of the undergraduates, a designed experiment of simultaneous determination of acetylsalicylic acid and caffeine in Aspirin tablets by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Ultra Performance Convergence Chromatography (UPC2) was applied. Additionally, ideological and political elements were organically integrated into the teaching process. Educational practice has shown that by facilitating comparative learning of different instrument principles and functional characteristics, students' interest in experimentation and exploratory spirit can be invigorated. This approach also strengthens students' problem-solving skills, thereby elevating their scientific literacy.
