新形势下大学《生物化学》教学方法的思考

针对新形势下生命科学专业在高等教育体系中快速发展的形势,结合当前教师队伍和青年大学生的特点,笔者对大学生物化学的课程教学现状进行了一些总结和分析,在此基础上对课程的教学方法进行了探索并提出了一些新的思路。     

高校教师在微生物学实验教学中应用CAI应具备的素质

计算机辅助教学(CAI)作为一种新的现代化教学方法和手段,已广泛应用于教育教学各个领域。就高校教师在微生物学实验教学中应用CAI存在的问题及应具备的素质进行了探讨。     

A java applet for exploring the new higher level classification of eukaryotes with emphasis on the taxonomy of protists

ABSTRACT. We have converted the hierarchically organized new higher level classification of eukaryotes with emphasis on the taxonomy of protists proposed by Adl et al. into an interactive and dynamic Java applet. The current version of the applet can be accessed via http://phylogenetics.bioapps.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de/etv . We use the layout from a Degree-of-Interest tree (DOITree) that effectively displays all the taxonomic information as well as the phylogenetic relationships described in the original article by Adl et al. The tree was made using the Prefuse Toolkit for interactive information visualization. All browsers capable of using Java applets will be able to view the tree. The applet is freely available for scientists, teachers, and students.     

Enhancing students’ experimental planning competences by introducing and evaluating the IS4O teaching approach

ABSTRACT

We herein report the introduction of the IS⁴O (Improving Students’ Scientific Skills by Using Scaffolding Outlines) teaching approach and its implementation to successfully empower students with initial minor planning competences in mastering complex scientific challenges in the course of Germany’s most-renowned scientific competitions. The IS⁴O teaching approach itself comprises the unique combination of the differentiating teaching methods Backward Planning and Project Mapping as core teaching elements. The beneficial effect of the IS⁴O teaching approach on the enhancement of the students planning competences is also discussed. Based on the given results, this teaching approach is mandatory to empower students with initial minor competences in completing a scientific competition successfully with very high assignment of tasks.     

An ecological energetics field course for sixth forms

the field course described has recently been piloted with a sixth-form group and is currently undergoing a more extensive evaluation. It consists of written materials for students and a teacher's booklet giving all the necessary techniques, lists of apparatus, and practical hints. The course aims to estimate the energy flows in a woodland ecosystem by means of a series of practical sessions involving field and laboratory investigations and calculation.

It is hoped the course will eventually be published and made generally available. designed with the non-ecologist teacher in mind. By using the supporting materials any teacher should be able to run the course.     

改革微生物实验教学 强化技能训练

为了提高学生的微生物实验技能,通过实验教学研究,对高职微生物实验教学进行了改革探讨。采用逻辑连贯性实验设计、加强基础实验教学、开设综合性实验强化实验技能训练。创新实验教学方法,运用多媒体展示、讲练融合增强实践动手能力。推行徒手练习、加强实验指导与严格规范操作,建立较完善的综合考核机制以调动学生实验的积极性和主动性,促进学生实验技能的提升与实验教学质量的提高。     

《组织学与胚胎学》双语教学模式的实践与探讨

《组织学与胚胎学》是医学生必修的医学基础课程之一,约有1/3医学英语词汇与其词汇直接相关,所以探讨其双语教学模式对促进医学双语教学尤为重要.我们先后从双语教学的英汉讲授比例、讲义准备、课件制作等方面探讨提高双语教学水平应注意的问题,并设计了双语教学的问卷调查,结果表明大部分同学认为双语教学对提高专业英语、普通英语水平和英语运用能力及专业课成绩有较大的帮助,并且用SPSS13.0软件将其平均分与传统教学的平均分进行了统计分析,P＜0.05,有统计学意义.该课程的双语教学,得到大多数医学生的肯定,教学水平也得到很大的提高.     

做好实验准备工作,提高微生物学实验教学质量

完善的微生物学实验准备工作是确保实验成功的开始,也是提高微生物学实验教学质量的重要环节。从加强实验室管理,制定详细的实验准备内容,严格进行实验预做等方面介绍做好微生物学实验准备工作的经验,为提高实验教学质量,培养具有创新能力的人才提供参考和借鉴。     

基因突变的教学设计

教学设计围绕基因突变这一核心概念,设计多样化的教学活动,让学生从实例分析入手,按照认知的规律从现象到概念,从宏观到微观来归纳总结出基因突变的概念;利用环环相扣的问题、科研资料引导学生在不断地探究、思考、分析和讨论,理解基因突变特征和基因突变的意义。     

基于网络环境下植物学实验课程的设计与构建

植物学实验网络课程是植物学实验教与学的网络平台。探讨网络环境下植物学实验课程体系的结构和网络教学系统组成,通过建立植物学实验网络辅助教学系统并予以应用,优化整合资源,探索提高植物学实验教学质量的途径。
