Exploration on research-informed model in the teaching of molecular biology for postgraduates
The development and improvement of medical technology depends on scientific research.Molecular biology is a core course of medical science,and its theories and technologies have penetrated research of various disciplines of medical science.PhD candidates need to develop scientific research thinking skills,and learn to conduct research on diagnosis and pathogenesis of diseases with molecular biology knowledge.The authors conducted a survey in 451 PhD candidates newly enrolled to investigate their under-standing of molecular biology.Based on the survey results,the teaching team carried out teaching reform in terms of teaching con-tent,teaching mode,teaching methods and assessment methods,aiming to improve the postgraduates'ability to analyze and solve problems with molecular biology technology.The authors adopted flipped classroom approach and focused on literature reading;these measures increased the postgraduates'motivation in learning,improved their autonomous learning ability,and helped to cultivate top medical talents.
