The Development of Evaluation Scale for Research-based Learning Effectiveness——A Case Study of Teaching Reform Practice in the School of Life Sciences of Fudan University
Research-based learning(RBL)has been increasingly emphasized for its ability to promote college students'active and in-depth learning and to cultivate their innovation ability.However,the teaching effect of RBL is not as easy to measure as that of traditional teaching methods.Based on the theory of"discovery learning",this paper breaks down research-based learning into five stages,namely understanding research,designing research,implementing research,presenting research and reflecting on research,constructs a gauge tool to measure the effectiveness of research-based learning with 21 research literacy and 50 specific behavioral indexes,and conducts a systematic reliability and validity test.The preliminary results show that the project-based teaching mode can effectively improve students'experimental skills and academic expression,but there is a shortcoming in the cultivation of academic aspirations,while the curriculum-based teaching mode shows unique advantages in cultivating academic aspirations and research perspectives.The deep integration of the two modes can satisfy the triple enhancement of students'knowledge,ability,and quality,which provides references for the construction of research-based learning in China's top universities.
