Integrating Biochemical Elements into the Education Reform and Ideological and Political Education of the Microbial Ecology Course
As an important branch of ecology,microbial ecology deeply investigates the diversity,functions,and interactions of microorganisms with their environment and other organisms.This field is crucial for understanding the ecosystem structure and functions,maintaining ecological balance,and promoting sustainable development.Traditional teaching and research in microbial ecology primarily relies on theoretical frameworks and mathematical models to explore the relationships between microorganisms and their surrounding biotic and abiotic environments.However,the discovered patterns often lack validation at the biological,physiological,and biochemical levels.Biochemistry,a science that studies the chemical essence of life phenomena,can significantly contribute to microbial ecology education and research by applying its theories and techniques.This integration helps uncover the fundamental nature behind microbial ecological phenomena.Additionally,the scientific spirit of biochemists—characterized by dedication,a willingness to innovate,and a commitment to excellence—offers valuable elements for ideological and political education in higher education under the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics.This paper preliminarily explores the necessity and implementation pathways of incorporating biochemical elements and ideological and political education into microbial ecology courses.It specifically discusses optimizing the teaching team,adding interdisciplinary theoretical and comprehensive experimental courses,applying biochemical research examples,and integrating ideological and political education.The goal is to advance educational reforms and innovations in microbial ecology courses at higher education institutions.By doing so,we aim at cultivate outstanding professionals with an international perspective and a sense of social responsibility,contributing to the construction of ecological civilization and green development in the new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
